Is Mark Andrews playing tonight vs Buccaneers in Week 8?

Mark Andrews has had an incredible start to the 2022-23 NFL season. With five touchdowns to his name already, Andrews' stock has skyrocketed.

But is Andrews playing tonight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on TNF? He is the Ravens' go-to tight end, but a nagging knee injury has cast a shadow over his availability.

He was initially listed as questionable after a knee injury saw him miss practice on Wednesday, but he has since been upgraded to active, meaning he will play against the Bucs.

Where is Mark Andrews playing?

Mark Andrews currently plays as a tight end for the Baltimore Ravens. Andrews, who played college football in Oklahoma, was drafted by the NFL franchise in the third round back in 2018.

He has since gone on to score 34 touchdowns and even bagged the honors of being a two-time Pro Bowler and an All Pro. Andrews currently ranks among one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL.

The Ravens have gotten off to a 4-3 start this season. Even in the three games they lost, the Baltimore franchise took the ball game down to the wire.

Against the Buccaneers on Thursday, a win is necessary to retain top spot in the AFC North.
