Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens has returned to practice for the first time since a car accident on August 14, which initially raised concerns but was later deemed to have caused only a minor injury. His participation in Friday's practice suggests he is on track to play in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 5. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had previously indicated that Andrews was dealing with a 'very minor thing' and expected him to be fine. Andrews missed seven games last season and will aim to bounce back alongside tight end Isaiah Likely to form a formidable duo. Other notable players missing from practice included offensive lineman Patrick Mekari, safety Eddie Jackson, and rookie linebacker Adisa Isaac. Tyler Linderbaum, who also faced injury issues, has been cleared for practice, wearing a non-contact jersey as he ramps up for the opener.
