The injury bug has once again hit Baltimore Ravens training camp. Today, one of the team’s top pass catchers— tight end Mark Andrews —went down.
Earlier this morning, Andrews left practice on a cart, and was given an IV, according to Ravens reporter Lindsey Ok. He then “collapsed,” and an ambulance went to treat him, per her tweet.
That is obviously a scary scene for the star tight end. Luckily, it doesn’t sound like the issue is major. Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, he was dealing with cramps, and did not have to be hospitalized.
It is currently 82 degrees in Owings Mills, Md., where the Ravens hold training camp, though it is expected to get up to almost 90 today. The humidity is also at 67-percent, making for a pretty uncomfortable day.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews, who was dealing with cramps, is being treated on site. He was not transported to the hospital.

“Mark’s cramping. He had some pretty serious cramping going on,” John Harbaugh told the media after practice. “He’s gotta work through it. Humidity shot up and obviously he’s been working super hard. He’s gotta get that calmed down a little bit.”

Mark Andrews has been one of the Baltimore Ravens’ top pass-catching weapons since entering the league in 2018. He broke out in his second season, catching 64 passes for 852 yards and 10 touchdowns during Lamar Jackson’s MVP season. Last year, he went for 58/701/7.
Hopefully this isn’t a persistent issue for Andrews, who turns 26 a week before the season begins.
The Ravens play their second preseason game on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers. They open the regular season on Monday Night Football on Sept. 13, at the Las Vegas Raiders.
