Patriots center David Andrews is one of five players who will start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, the team announced on Thursday.
Andrews underwent a shoulder procedure shortly after the Patriots season ended to repair a torn labrum, which he likely suffered in Week 13. He posted a photo of himself post-procedure in January, with his son sitting with him on the bed. Despite the injury, Andrews started and played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in 16 of the Patriots’ 18 games.
Defensive back Jonathan Jones also underwent shoulder surgery after suffering an undisclosed injury on Oct.
