FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - New England Patriots starting center David Andrews is reportedly hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
The 27-year-old Andrews has anchored the Patriots offensive line after he was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2015.
Andrews, who has served as a co-team captain in each of the last two seasons, is expected to miss a significant portion of the upcoming 2019 season.
Andrews has only missed two games in the last four years.
With number 60 sidelined indefinitely, former sixth-round pick Ted Karras will likely take the lead as starting center.
