The New England Patriots are bringing in some additional insurance behind David Andrews.
The Patriots are expected to sign center Tyler Gauthier to fill their final vacant roster spot, according to a report Monday from ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Gauthier reportedly visited the Patriots on Monday and must pass a physical and COVID-19 test before signing.
Gauthier is a familiar face for the Patriots, who signed him as an undrafted rookie out of Miami last spring. Released during final roster cuts, the 23-year-old landed on New England’s practice squad last October, then was signed away by the Jacksonville Jaguars in December.
