Ian Rapoport reports that Andrews suffered a fractured fibula and damage to an ankle ligament.

Andrews had a pair of catches for 23 yards on the opening drive but was forced to exit the game before Gus Edward scored the first of two rushing touchdowns on the night.

Andrews is Lamar Jackson’s favorite target and will finish this season with 45 receptions for 544 yards and six touchdowns.
