FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots' game of musical chairs along the offensive line continued in Sunday’s 33-16 win over the Tennessee Titans, as starting center Bryan Stork was inactive and undrafted rookie David Andrews stepped in.
Stork’s absence was described by coach Bill Belichick as a “coach’s decision” and it was later learned that Stork -- who had missed Friday’s practice -- has been grieving the loss of a close relative. He was present at Gillette Stadium on Sunday morning, with reporters seeing him depart in the 10 o’clock hour.
