According to Jamison Hensley on Twitter, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was limited in Thursday's practice with a thigh injury.

Andrews is a limited tag warrior who produced a monster 2019 season despite spending almost the entire season on the injury report. Andrews has recorded 57 or more receiving yards and two touchdowns in two of his four games in 2020 and is the TE6 on the season. He s expected to play this weekend against the Bengals and is our third ranked tight end for Week 5.

The reality is, the Ravens just aren’t running many offensive plays. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The Ravens had two- and three-play touchdown drives Sunday. You’ll take the quick strikes all the time. But they do impact how much the Ravens are able to get their myriad offensive players involved. Take away nine plays per game and about four minutes of possession time and that’s significant in terms of how many touches certain players are able to get and how many snaps guys play.

Ingram who is second on the team to Jackson with 34 carries, is already averaging five fewer carries per game than he got through the course of last year. Edwards, who has looked like the Ravens’ most effective back, is on pace to average two fewer touches per game than he got last year. Wide receiver Brown has 24 targets and 16 catches. Last year, he had 34 targets and 18 catches through this point. Tight end Andrews has 12 catches on 20 targets. Through four games last year, he had 23 catches on 32 targets. The Ravens haven’t been able to spread the ball around and get as many players as involved as they’d like. They just haven’t had enough plays to do that, the story went on to say.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews was also practicing.

It's good news for owners but there is still reason for concern given how deep the Ravens are at TE. It's short week against the Jets so it's possible the Ravens play this safe with Andrews even if he is active.

Sigh of relief: The knee injury suffered by Ravens TE Mark Andrews is considered a minor one, source said. One of Baltimore’s key weapons should be OK moving forward.

Certainly good news for fantasy owners. But something to keep in mind the tweet didn't talk about is the Ravens play the Jets on Thursday night this week, so it's a short week for Andrews. We can assume Andrews could be ready to go for Week 15. Boyle and Hurst may get more time even if Andrews plays but isn't 100%.

Tight end Mark Andrews went to the locker room in the first quarter with a right knee injury and did not return, taking a key piece away from Baltimore’s offense.

After the game, HC John Harbaugh said that Andrews injury wasn't major - perhaps a "thigh bruise type of thing." Andrews leads the team in both receptions (54) and receiving yards (707) and has emerged as one of the NFL’s top pass-catching tight ends. He had one catch for 14 yards Sunday.
