FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots starting center David Andrews was hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs and his 2019 season is in jeopardy, league sources confirm.
A team captain in his fifth NFL season, Andrews played 28 snaps in the Patriots' preseason win over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night but wasn't at practice the past two days.
Andrews' leadership and steadiness have been critical for the Patriots since he became a full-time starter in 2016, as he developed a rapport with quarterback Tom Brady. With Andrews at center, and up-and-coming Joe Thuney (fourth year) and Shaq Mason (fifth year) as starting guards, the interior of the line has been one of the strengths of the team.
