UPDATE (11:15 a.m. ET): Jerod Mayo confirmed David Andrews will undergo shoulder surgery, land on injured reserve and probably miss the rest of the season.

ORIGINAL STORY: The outlook of the Patriots offensive line worsened Wednesday.

David Andrews suffered a shoulder injury in New England’s blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. The captain reportedly mulled the idea of playing through the injury, but that could have put his 2025 season in jeopardy.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Andrews will undergo shoulder surgery and he is expected to be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

The expected surgery was a brutal blow for the two-time Super Bowl champion, who will contemplate his future in the NFL.

Nick Leverett replaced Andrews when the center exited last Sunday’s game, and he’ll be the presumed starter moving forward. New England did not have a direct backup on the roster or the practice squad as of Wednesday morning. That likely will change after the Patriots reportedly hosted an offensive lineman for a workout and other pending roster moves likely will be made.

Andrews’ injury coincided with the other offensive line injuries New England dealt with through four weeks including to rookie Caedan Wallace, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 4.

The 32-year-old will join fellow captain Ja’Whaun Bentley on season-ending injured reserve as the Patriots continue to deal with major injuries this season.
