A three-time Pro Bowler who missed nearly half of last season due to an injury caused by a now-banned tackling technique, Andrews was in a car accident on Wednesday morning while heading to the team&#8217;s training facility. According to a team announcement, he was assessed by the medical staff at the Under Armour Performance Center and fortunately did not sustain any injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens stated that &#8220;Mark was originally scheduled for a non-practice day on Wednesday and is expected to return to practice soon.&#8221; While specific details about the accident were not disclosed, The Baltimore Sun reported that two vehicles were involved and both suffered significant damage without any injuries reported.<\/p>\n<p>This incident must have been a relief for Andrews, who had previously faced serious setbacks last year when he fractured his fibula and injured an ankle ligament during Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was taken down by what is known as a &#8220;hip-drop tackle,&#8221; which has since been outlawed in the NFL following a vote by team owners in March. Despite these challenges, Andrews made it back just in time for the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs in January but had limited success with only two catches for 15 yards.<\/p>\n<p>His continued health is crucial for both him and his team as they prepare for their season opener against the Super Bowl champion Chiefs on September 5. Losing another key player would be detrimental. Fans also expressed their relief on social media after hearing about his condition post-accident.<\/p>\n<p>Andrews himself shared his gratitude: \u201cI appreciate everyone\u2019s thoughts and well wishes,\u201d he said in response to inquiries from fans. \u201cThis serves as an important reminder about wearing seat belts and staying alert while driving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mark-Andrews.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[34080,38169,7215],"class_list":["post-2324666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-car-accident","tag-mark-andrews","tag-nfl"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mark-Andrews.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
