The New England Patriots found out on Wednesday that center David Andrews is expected to have season-ending shoulder surgery and land on injured reserve after leaving Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers just nine snaps in.
New England has already dealt with many different issues on their offensive line, as they've started four different left tackles and two left guards (neither of which is the starter at the position).
With David and Jake Andrews both out for the year, the Patriots turn to guard Nick Leverett to be their starting center.
