Andrews, who's a type 1 diabetic, is going to miss Tuesday night's contest versus the Pittsburgh Steelers due to testing positive. The pass-catching tight end is joining Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram and J.K Dobbins as notable skill players for the Ravens who have tested positive for COVID-19.
Altogether, Baltimore has had 11 players test positive, with 20 players in total being added to the COVID-19 reserve list. In addition, the Ravens have also had 10 staff members test positive, forcing the NFL to postpone their game with the Steelers.
Before the season took place, some people wondered whether or not Andrews would opt out due to being a diabetic. However, he never considered opting out, instilling trust in the league and his teammates to follow the protocols given to them.
Besides Baltimore's outbreak, the Steelers have also experienced positive cases this week. Quite a few players, including Stephon Tuitt, have been placed on Pittsburgh's COVID-19 reserve list.
Of course, Andrews is one of the go-to targets in Baltimore's passing attack. The former third-round pick leads the Ravens with 38 receptions for 454 yards and six touchdowns at the tight end position.
But after testing positive over the weekend, Andrews won't be able to suit up for Baltimore in its pivotal game against Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
