Ravens TE Mark Andrews likely suffered season-ending ankle injury vs. Bengals; WR Odell Beckham Jr., QB Joe Burrow hurt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

Ravens tight end Mark Andrews injured his left ankle on the opening drive Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals and did not return as Baltimore secured a 34-20 victory.After the game, coach John Harbaugh said it looks like a “season-ending injury.”“Our prayers will be with Mark,” Harbaugh said. “Nobody cares more about the team and being there for the guys than Mark Andrews, so it’s going to be hard for him but we’re going to be there for him all the way.”Andrews caught a short pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in the red zone and was tackled by Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson, who rolled onto Andrews’ legs as he brought him down. The Ravens’ medical staff attended to Andrews as he lay on his back. Jackson threw his helmet to the ground in frustration as he saw Andrews in pain.After a few minutes, the tight end stood up with help and walked gingerly to the sideline. He then left the field and went into the locker ...

WR Zay Flowers sets record for most catches by a Ravens rookie

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

The breakout season continues for Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers.With a 33-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, Flowers set the franchise record for the most receptions by a rookie in a single season.With 51 and counting, Flowers passed Torrey Smith, the former Terps star and Ravens fan favorite who caught 50 passes for 841 yards in his debut season in 2011.A first-round draft pick out of Boston College, Flowers has quickly become quarterback Lamar Jackson’s favorite target, entering Thursday with a team-high 545 receiving yards. His eight catches of 20 yards or more are also tied for the most on the team with tight end Mark Andrews, who exited with a left ankle injury after being tackled short of the goal line on the Ravens’ opening touchdown drive and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game.Flowers’ emergence is significant considering the Ravens’ poor history at wide receiver. Since taking S...

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, DE Broderick Washington inactive vs. Bengals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

If the Ravens are going to complete a season sweep of the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals, they’ll have to do so without their top cornerback.Marlon Humphrey, who didn’t practice all week because of a calf injury and was doubtful coming into the “Thursday Night Football” matchup, is inactive. Brandon Stephens, Rock Ya-Sin and Arthur Maulet are the Ravens’ top cornerbacks behind the three-time Pro Bowl selection.The bigger surprise, however, is that defensive end Broderick Washington appears to be a healthy scratch.Washington, who signed a three-year, $17.5 million extension three months ago and has started five games this season, was not on this week’s injury report. However, his snap counts have decreased each of the past two games, including just 27 in a 33-31 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.Veteran Brent Urban will likely receive more playing time in place of Washington, who has 12 tackles, one sack and two tackles for this loss this ...

Column: As others look at the big picture with Justin Fields, Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy is focused on ‘getting better’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

While there’s ample debate about what quarterback Justin Fields can prove over the final seven games of the Chicago Bears season, that chatter isn’t taking place inside the walls of Halas Hall.Yes, coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that seven weeks “is enough time to show consistency,” but Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy are existing only in the here and now — preparing for Sunday’s game at Ford Field against the first-place Detroit Lions.Just as Fields talked Wednesday about a singular focus, Getsy spoke Thursday of that same approach, giving a measured assessment of the situation as Fields returns after missing four games with a dislocated right thumb.The focus on Fields and the remaining slate is understandable, as the Bears will have to choose a path at the end of the season: roll into 2024 with Fields or move on and draft a quarterback in the first round. It seems rather unlikely general manager Ryan Poles would keep Fields and g...

Instant analysis from Ravens’ 34-20 win over Cincinnati Bengals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 34-20 win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday night’s Week 11 game at M&T Bank Stadium.Brian Wacker: This one was over the moment Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow injured his right wrist with just under six minutes to go in the first half and never returned. Still, trailing 10-7 when Burrow went out, the Ravens did what they always do: leaned on their defense and the arm and legs of quarterback Lamar Jackson.Even without tight end and security blanket Mark Andrews, who was injured on the Ravens’ opening scoring drive, Jackson was good enough on a weird night of penalties and uneven play. It helped, too, that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. flashed some of his old speed (before heading to the locker room in the fourth quarter), while Nelson Agholor found himself the recipient of a fortuitous deflection and raced into the end zone for a score.The Bengals, meanwhil...

Biden signs temporary spending bill averting government shutdown, pushing budget fight into new year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday signed a temporary spending bill a day before a potential government shutdown, pushing a fight with congressional Republicans over the federal budget into the new year, as wartime aid for Ukraine and Israel remains stalled.The measure passed the House and Senate by wide bipartisan margins this week, ensuring the government remains open until after the holiday season, and potentially giving lawmakers more time to sort out their considerable differences over government spending levels for the current fiscal year. Biden signed the bill in San Francisco, where he is hosting the summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economies. News of the signing came late at night. The president signed the bill at the Legion of Honor Museum, where he held a dinner for APEC members.The spending package keeps government funding at current levels for roughly two more months while a long-term package is negotiated. It splits the deadlines for passin...

Biden seizes a chance to refocus on Asia as wars rage in Europe and the Mideast

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:30:01 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Sometimes it can be easy to forget that President Joe Biden’s original foreign policy priority was reasserting American influence in Asia. After all, that was before Russian tanks tried to blitz Ukraine, and before Israel and Hamas descended into a fresh round of bloody fighting. With each new crisis, it appeared that Asia was slipping further down the presidential to-do list. But this week was a rare opportunity for Biden to demonstrate otherwise. While playing host for an annual summit of Asian leaders in San Francisco, he could finally refocus on the continent that he views as key to the future. “The United States remains vital to the future of the region, and the region is more vital than ever to the United States of America,” he told a gathering of business executives during one of the summit’s many receptions. “That’s been my administration’s outlook from day one.”Turning that vision into a reality has never been more challeng...
