BOSTON — Patriots center David Andrews says he believes the blood clot issue in his lungs that caused him to miss all of last season was a “freak accident” that he’s ready to put behind him heading into the 2020 season.

“It was definitely a very interesting situation. I’m very fortunate that I am able to continue playing this game,” Andrews said Tuesday during a conference call with reporters. “I’m just really looking forward to moving forward and getting back to being a football player again.”

Andrews declined to elaborate on what caused the issue but said he has been cleared by doctors to resume playing football.
