New England Patriots backup center Jake Andrews was officially placed on season-ending injured reserve on Monday. Now, we have a potential answer as to why.
During a media conference on Friday, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo noted that Andrews suffered an injury in the offseason that required surgery. It's a tough turn of events for Andrews, who started training camp on the PUP list.
There was hope he could work his way up to being a reliable backup for David Andrews at center or potentially filling in at guard.
Jake Andrews was a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
