Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was involved in a car accident while driving to the team’s facility in Owings Mills early Wednesday morning, the team said shortly before practice.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection was evaluated by medical staff at the Ravens’ facility and did not suffer any apparent injuries, according to a statement from the team. He later joined the team for morning meetings.

“He’s feeling good,” coach John Harbaugh said after practice, noting that the accident, which took place about 1 1/2 miles from the team’s facility, was “significant” and that Andrews was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. “He came out of it with nothing at all. Not a scrape.”

According to a Baltimore County Police spokesperson, officers responded to the 9700 block of Lyons Mill Road in Owings Mills at approximately 9:45 a.m. about a motor vehicle crash involving two vehicles that sustained “heavy damage.” No injuries were reported, and the case remains open.

The Ravens also said that Andrews, 28, was originally scheduled to have the day off from practice Wednesday and is expected to return to the field in “the coming days.”

“I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and well wishes,” Andrews said in a statement. “This is a great reminder about the importance of wearing seatbelts and remaining alert while driving a car.”

When exactly Andrews will return to the field is unknown.

The Ravens will practice again Thursday before a walk-through Friday and will play their second preseason game Saturday afternoon against the Atlanta Falcons at M&T Bank Stadium. The team then heads to Green Bay for a joint practice with the Packers next Thursday before their preseason finale two days later at Lambeau Field.

Andrews is coming off a season in which he appeared in just 10 games during the regular season because of an ankle injury he suffered in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium. He finished with 45 catches for 544 yards and a team-high six receiving touchdowns before returning for the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs with two catches for 15 yards in the 17-10 loss.

Baltimore will open the regular season Sept. 5 against the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
