In an unfortunate turn of events for the Baltimore Ravens, tight end Mark Andrews is set to undergo surgery for a high-ankle sprain. The procedure is being performed by renowned foot and ankle specialist, Dr. Robert Anderson, in Charlotte.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Andrews is expected to be out for the rest of the year, with a slim possibility of returning if the Ravens make a deep run in the playoffs. Coach John Harbaugh expressed some optimism immediately after the game, stating that the injury was not as bad as initially feared.

The injury occurred during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals when Andrews was tackled by linebacker Logan Wilson. The tight end suffered ligament damage in his ankle and also cracked his fibula due to the impact.

In Andrews' absence, the Ravens will rely on Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar to fill the void at the tight end position. They will be tasked with stepping up and contributing to the team's offensive efforts.

Mark Andrews has had an impressive season, recording 45 receptions for 544 yards and six touchdowns. His performance has earned him a place in the Pro Bowl for the past two seasons, making his absence a significant blow to the Ravens' offense.

The team will now need to adjust their game plan and find ways to compensate for Andrews' absence. Losing a player of his caliber will undoubtedly impact their offensive strategy, but the Ravens remain determined to persevere.

As Andrews embarks on his road to recovery, the Ravens will be hoping for a successful surgery and rehabilitation process. The team and fans alike are eager to see their star tight end back on the field in the future, but for now, their focus will be on rallying together and continuing to compete at a high level.
