I just cited an example of a player who had the same injury and then came back and put up a monster game. It's clearly not impossible, so how could Spagnuolo have the confidence to say with certainty that the all pro tight end is a gimp and should be ignored? That's a pretty risky proposition sight unseen. Spagnuolo has no more information than you or I about Andrews' status except that he has been a full participant in practice and has to be accounted for as if he's going to be active. You're hand waving Mark Andrews away in a fashion that I'm sure no one in the Chiefs' building can afford to do. So even if Andrews doesn't actually have nine catches for 122 yards, he has to be gameplanned for.
