Ravens' Tight End Mark Andrews Placed on Injured Reserve

Andrews' Ankle Injury Sparks Debate Over 'Hip Drop Tackle', Uncertainty Over Return This Season

Mark Andrews, the Baltimore Ravens' tight end, has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The injury, which occurred during a controversial 'hip drop tackle', has sparked debate about the legality of such tackles.
Andrews underwent surgery and will be unavailable for at least the next four weeks, although there is some optimism about a possible return this season.
The Ravens did not elevate a tight end to replace Andrews, suggesting that tight end Charlie Kolar may be available after missing a recent practice due to illness.
Andrews' absence is expected to be a significant loss for the Ravens, as he has been a key part of the team's offense.
