Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings. He's back. Special edition episode for the return of the big dog.

Mark, I almost choked myself. Mark Andrews at everything big almost got me. Mark Andrews is back at Ravens practice.

He's been designated for a return from injured reserve.

This opens his 21-day window.

A week before the Ravens, about a week before they kick off the playoffs.

And eight weeks and one day after he suffered his ankle injury, Mark Andrews is back

on the field. Yeah, it was an awesome day on Friday. I think a surprising news for a lot of people

to get. I know, you know, the Ravens have said all along, there was a sliver of hope that

Mark could return, but at no point did they say it was definite. And I think the fact that he's

back before the playoffs even begin on the field, at least, is surprising was definite. And I think the fact that he's back before the playoffs even

begin on the field at least is surprising to everybody. And you, you, I'm going to give you the

big point. Big point, you said, well, it'll be highly. We got to rewind. Bryson, can you go back to

the tape, Garrett? You know, it was a post-game reaction. He said, well, it'd be highly unlikely that Mark would return for the

divisional playoffs. I said, I wouldn't rule it out. I mean, look, I'm surprised. I did not

expect him to be back on the field. Now, just so listeners know, he's back at practice. He has not

yet been activated to the 53-man roster. That, of course, would need to happen in order for him

to play in the divisional round or any other round past that. So that has not happened yet, but it certainly could based on how he

progresses over the course of the next week at practice. But look, I'm not, I'm the first to

say I'm surprised at how quick of a timeline this has been for Mark. Like when this injury happened,

John Harbaugh, after the game told reporters it looks like it's season ending. Then he had surgery and it was like, you know what?

Once they got in there, it maybe looked a little bit better and it's not necessarily

season ending.
