Ravens TE Mark Andrews & OLB Matt Judon Test Positive For COVID-19

According to Jay Glazer, Ravens TE Mark Andrews has tested positive for COVID-19, along with another defensive starter. 

Ian Rapoport reports that starter is OLB Matt Judon, who will join Andrews on the COVID-19 list. 

Andrews has Type-I diabetes, which puts him at higher risk for a negative outcome from the virus. He would have qualified as a high-risk opt-out at the beginning of the season but declined to do so. 

Andrews and Judon make it a dozen players who have gone on the COVID-19 list in the past week. Both will miss Tuesday’s game against the Steelers, which currently remains set to be played. 

Andrews, 25, was drafted by the Ravens in the third round out of Oklahoma in 2018. He’s in the third year of a four-year, $3.6 million rookie deal and set to make base salaries of $750,000 and $920,000 the final two years of his deal. 

In 2020, Andrews has appeared in 10 games for the Ravens and caught 38 passes for 454 yards and six touchdowns. 

Judon, 28, is a former fifth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.595 million contract before being franchised by the Ravens.

Judon is in line to be an unrestricted free agent in 2021. 

In 2020, Judon has appeared in 10 games for the Ravens and recorded 35 total tackles, four sacks and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 70 edge defender out of 103 qualifying players.
