The Baltimore Ravens are set to get back two more Pro Bowl players after activating tight end Mark Andrews, outside linebacker Matthew Judon, and offensive lineman Will Holden from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, per the team’s Twitter account.
While it’s unclear if Judon and Andrews will be able to play in Monday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, being activated so early gives hope. The Ravens saw the return of quarterback Lamar Jackson and fullback Patrick Ricard for Tuesday’s game despite being activated just one day prior. If Andrews and Judon are able to get some practice time in, it seems likely they’ll be able to suit up for this critical AFC North showdown on Monday night.
Baltimore was hit hard by an outbreak of COVID-19 over the last two weeks, putting 23 players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list from the Monday following Week 11’s game against the Tennessee Titans all the way up to Week 12’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The coronavirus outbreak caused Week 12’s game against the Steelers to be rescheduled three times and Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys to be moved twice. The Ravens went 1-1 in those two games, putting up valiant efforts in both matchups despite missing so many impact players.
