Andrews released a statement through the team saying: “I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and well wishes. This is a great reminder about the importance of wearing seatbelts and remaining alert while driving a car.”
Mark Andrews is looking to have a much better and healthier season in 2024 after having surgery to repair a fractured fibula and ligament damage caused by a hip-drop tackle.
He was one of the reasons why the league moved to remove the tackle from the game at an owner’s meeting earlier this spring.
Violations will now be hit with a 15-yard penalty if it’s called during a game this upcoming season.
He was a fan of that change.
“I’m always an advocate for making the game safer,” Andrews said, via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “You look at the last five years, there’s been a lot of big injuries with that. So just bringing the awareness to that type of tackle, I think, is good.”
