Patriots Center David Andrews Undergoes Surgery On His Thumb
Patriots starting center David Andrews underwent surgery on the right thumb of his snapping hand this week, a source confirmed to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports first reported the surgery, which is expected to keep Andrews out of Sunday’s home game against the Las Vegas Raiders (CBS, 1 p.m. ET) and possibly beyond.
Andrews, who injured the thumb in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, did not participate in team drills on Wednesday and Thursday, although he was present at the start of practice the last two days with a wrap/cast on his right thumb that extended down to his wrist. At one point, in individual drills, he attempted to snap with his left hand.
Andrews, one of the team’s captains and a key cog who makes the protection calls, is valued for his intelligence and toughness. He missed the 2019 season after being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs, but returned to form the first two games of this year.
“He’s the piece that holds it all together as the center,” starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn said this week. “With all his knowledge, he’s very reliable. When we don’t know something, he knows the answer to it. Just him being the key piece has been helpful and great.”
