Andrews returned to practice this month after suffering an ankle injury in a Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals

At the time of the injury, it was declared that his season was over. The prognosis improved over time, and a few weeks ago he was cleared to practice with his teammates.

In 2021, Andrews was an All-Pro, catching 107 passes for 1,361 yards. He had 73 receptions for 847 yards last season — still team highs by a wide margin — but this year rookie receiver Zay Flowers leads the Ravens with 77 catches for 858 yards so far.

This year Andrews has 45 receptions, including six touchdowns.
