Andrews (undisclosed) was placed on New England's active/PUP list Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
The Patriots are now shorthanded on the interior of their offensive line for the start of training camp, as both Andrews and Cole Strange (knee) are now on the PUP list. Once healthy, the 2023 fourth-round pick will have an opportunity to compete for the starting center job.

Patriots' Jake Andrews: Adds interior line depth for Pats
Rotowire
The Patriots selected Andrews in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 107th overall.
Andrews has modest pedigree out of Troy, but he's very experienced as an interior lineman and has good athletic metrics by center standards. Center might be Andrews' primary position for the Pats while otherwise serving as a swing backup at guard, because at center Andrews' frame (6-foot-3, 305 pounds) and reach (32 and 7/8-inch arms) grade a little better than at guard.
