The rich get richer, and the Baltimore Ravens are wealthy.
Todd Monken’s offense could have a huge reinforcement on the field for the AFC Championship Game.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, star tight end Mark Andrews is expected to make his return vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, barring a major turn of events (via Sarah Ellison).

Andrews has been out for the past two months.
Most people thought his ankle injury would keep him on the shelf for the remainder of the season, but he was quite close to being activated last week for the AFC Divisional Round game vs. the Houston Texans.
Andrews is one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the game and Lamar Jackson’s favorite target, so this is obviously a huge boost for the offense at the most crucial time in the season.
Isaiah Likely has done a great job of filling in for him in the meantime, becoming a steady contributor to the passing game.
The Ravens cannot leave anything to chance.
They’re about to host Patrick Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champions, and everybody knows just how dangerous the Kansas City Chiefs can be.
Steve Spagnuolo’s defense will have their hands full trying to contain Jackson and the Ravens’ explosive and efficient offense, and now, they’ll have another stellar pass-catcher to worry about and game-plan for ahead of the biggest game of the season.
