Translating…

TheNew England Patriotscould be without their starting center for some time.

David Andrewshas been hospitalized with a blood clot in his lungs and his season could be in jeopardy, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports, per a source informed. The Athletic first reported the news.

NFL Network’s Mike Giardi later confirmed a report from The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride that Andrewshad been releasedfrom the hospital.

Since signing with New England as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in 2015, Andrews has been an integral part ofTom Brady‘s offensive line. Andrews has played in 71 games and started in 66, including the postseason. He was Brady’s snapper for New England’s last threeSuper Bowlappearances and twoSuper Bowlvictories.

Andrews doesn’t have much of an injury history. New England signed the starter to a three-year, $9 million extension through 2020 in May 2017. He is set to earn around $3.1 million in 2019.

Behind Andrews on New England’s depth chart isTed Karras, a fourth-year guard out of Illinois with 45 games played and five starts under his belt. Expected to fill in at center, Karras will be flanked to his left byIsaiah WynnandJoe Thuneyand to his right byShaq MasonandMarcus Cannon.

New England’s offensive line, now with two new starters in Wynn and Karras, will have to build continuity quickly ahead of its season opener in 13 days against thePittsburgh Steelers.

Andrews’ loss is significant but not unmanageable, especially for offensive line wundercoach Dante Scarnecchia and this veteran coaching staff.
