The Patriots will be down a couple of notable players when they take the field against the Jets on Sunday.
Center and captain David Andrews remains in concussion protocol after suffering a blindside hit in the Patriots’ 33-14 loss to the Bears on Monday night, ruling him out for Sunday’s game. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore is also still out due to a knee injury he suffered against the Browns in Week 6, which caused him to miss the Monday night game and not practice all week.
Patriots senior adviser/offensive line coach Matt Patricia said Andrews’s absence is big, but has trust in James Ferentz to play well in his spot.
