After a shoulder injury knocked him out of the New England Patriots’ Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers, David Andrews had a decision to make: try to play through the injury but risk making it worse, or undergo season-ending shoulder.
The Patriots’ starting center decided to go the second route. But while his 2024 season is now over as a consequence, the 32-year-old is hopeful about a full recovery and the chance to return to the team in 2025.
As Andrews mentioned on the latest episode of his Quick Snap podcast, that aspect was a driving motivator behind opting for surgery.
