Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews missed their Week 1 game against the Houston Texans. He was dealing with a quad injury and wasn't able to recover in time to play.
The Ravens did end up winning the game, but they missed Andrews' presence on the field. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has great chemistry with his tight end and would hope that he is back on the field soon.

Mark Andrews was initially listed as questionable for the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, it is now confirmed that he will play.
The Ravens have a different game plan under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and Andrews could perfectly fit in the system. Last week we saw rookie Zay Flowers receive the most targets, but with the presence of the 27-year-old tight end, the ball is likely to be spread a lot more.
So far in Lamar Jackson's career, Andrews has been his most reliable target. Now with the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. and Flowers, if the Ravens' offense clicks, it could be special.

Ravens offense didn't look good without Mark Andrews
Going up against the Cincinnati Bengals won't be easy for the Ravens. Given how the Ravens' offense struggled against the Texans in Week 1, they desperately need Andrews back.
Last season, the Ravens tight end played 15 games, in which he recorded 73 receptions for 847 yards and scored five touchdowns. With Lamar Jackson now fully healthy and the Ravens having more threats in the passing game, Andrews is projected to have a big season.
The Bengals suffered a devasting loss in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, and it will be interesting to see how they respond. The Ravens are the underdogs heading into this game, but it won't be a surprise if they come away with a win.
