BALTIMORE — Playoff football is back in Baltimore this weekend as the Ravens prepare for their AFC divisional round bout with the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Baltimore enters the contest heavy betting favorites (-9.5) as they seek their first Super Bowl win since 2013.
And it look like one of their best offensive players will return. Tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.
“Today was his best showing so far,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He really took a big step. Just what you saw today, we saw as well, so that’s encouraging.”
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken added that Andrews has “looked good in practice,” and the team considers him “day-to-day” for now.
Despite suffering a cracked fibular and ligament damage in his ankle in Week 11, Andrews appears to have a legitimate shot at suiting up on Saturday.
We would expect his role to be limited out of the gate, but getting their star tight end back in any capacity is a massive win for a Baltimore offense that was already looked unstoppable over the second half of the season.
Before getting injured, Andrews led the Ravens with 544 and six touchdown catches through the first 11 weeks.
