Starting center David Andrews and rookie linebacker Josh Uche will be placed on injured reserve, the Patriots announced Saturday.
Center James Ferentz will be promoted from the practice squad and could start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN’s Field Yates reported. Hjalte Froholdt is also an option.
In other news, wide receiver Isaiah Zuber and defensive tackle Nick Thurman are moving from the practice squad to the 53-man roster for Sunday’s game.
Andrews had surgery on the broken thumb on his snapping hand earlier this week.
