The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson host the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. Both teams have key players listed on the injury report as questionable or out.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews, who has been out since Week 11 with an ankle injury, will be active on Sunday. He practiced with the team during the postseason as his rehab progressed.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said of Andrews’ toughness to come back: “I would say it’s an amazing amount of toughness — physical toughness in terms of the work [Andrews] had to put in and the pain. The physical pain he went through — I saw him in the training room — a very painful injury, a very painful rehab. Then, just the mental toughness, too.”
