FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots center David Andrews will undergo shoulder surgery and likely miss the rest of the season, coach Jerod Mayo announced Wednesday, adding that he is considering starting running back Antonio Gibson over Rhamondre Stevenson against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday due to Stevenson's early-season fumbling issues.
Mayo cited Andrews' toughness and leadership as an eight-year captain while also noting how his communication is critical for the offensive line.
"It's definitely a huge loss," Mayo said, adding that Andrews will remain around the team and possibly help in the future in a coaching-type role.
