00:03 - Talking about tight ends here, Doc,

00:04 coming up this weekend and coming back from injuries,

00:07 Mark Andrews, one of those players

00:08 that we weren't sure if we would see again this season

00:10 unless the Baltimore Ravens advance

00:12 to at least the AFC Championship game.

00:14 Here we are in the AFC Championship game.

00:16 Mark Andrews, who practiced last week,

00:18 give us some prognosis this week

00:20 on what we can anticipate

00:21 to see if maybe Mark Andrews plays this week

00:23 and how well possibly he can play.

00:25 - I spoke on Sports Grid last week.

00:28 I didn't believe at all that Mark Andrews would play

00:31 in the divisional round,

00:33 despite two straight full practices.

00:35 'Cause the definition of full practice is not full health.

00:38 The definition of full practice

00:39 is the player did everything the team asked him to do.

00:43 And he didn't play.

00:44 Now, this week, all along,

00:46 I thought he had a chance to return,

00:48 a good chance to return to the Super Bowl.

00:50 He's a little ahead of that.

00:51 I think he can return Sam Laporta-esque

00:56 last week or this week

00:57 for this conference championship game,

01:00 and maybe be better than that.

01:01 Remember, the fracture is healed,

01:03 but there's associated soft tissue and ligament damage

01:06 and swelling still in that ankle

01:08 from that high ankle fracture.

01:10 - We have not seen Mark Andrews

01:13 in over two months since November 16th,

01:15 Thursday night football game against the Bengals

01:18 when he was injured on the opening offensive possession

01:21 for the Baltimore Ravens.

01:22 Now to the other side of the football, Dr. Chow,

01:24 for the flock, Marlon Humphrey,

01:26 if he is out there on Sunday,

01:28 we'll have a challenge to contain Patrick Mahomes

01:31 in Kansas City's offense.

01:33 What is the status of Marlon Humphrey

01:35 for Baltimore in the AFC championship game?

01:37 - Yeah, he's iffy with the calf strain.

01:40 And part of the reason with that

01:42 is it's his second time on the same calf,

01:44 and we haven't seen him since the injury.

01:47 So he's gotta make some good progress.

01:48 Remember, that's probably one of the worst positions

01:51 to have a calf injury.

01:52 You know, you have to defend, not know where you're going.

01:55 And so that is a big question mark.
