James Ferentz admits he can’t replace David Andrews alone

New England Patriots center David Andrews left Sunday’s game against the New York Jets with a concussion. He played 15 snaps before being helped off the field to the locker room.

It appears as though the injury could potentially end Andrews’ season, and that would be a big blow for a Patriots offensive line that is currently struggling. Backup center James Ferentz took Andrews’ place on Sunday.

Ferentz has familiarity with the offensive line. He has been with the Patriots since 2017 and has appeared in 712 total offensive snaps in five seasons. He appeared in a career-high 69 percent of the offensive snaps in 2021 and has appeared and 66 percent of the snaps in 2022.
