Patriots offensive lineman Jake Andrews has been placed on injured reserve, the team announced Monday.
The team did not say what caused Andrews to be placed on the list.
Andrews played in 16 games last season with one start in the regular-season finale against the Jets on Jan. 7. Andrews primarily plays center but started that game at left guard.
The Patriots drafted Andrews in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent most of his rookie year backing up veteran center David Andrews.
Without Jake Andrews in the mix during training camp, the Patriots have turned to Nick Leverett for the backup center role.
