The New England Patriots have listed C David Andrews as inactive for Thursday night's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Long-time center for New England, David Andrews, and T Isaiah Wynn are both inactive, which will be hard for the Patriots' running game captained by RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris. The Vikings are again without DL Dalvin Tomlinson, though. The Patriots are also listing RB Kevin Harris, DT Sam Roberts, FS Joshuah Bledsoe and CB Shaun Wade as inactive for Thanksgiving night.

Patriots guard David Andrews (shoulder) underwent offseason surgery for his shoulder Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Andrews 2021 season was ravaged by injuries, including some he attempted to play through. If healthy, Andrews will return to lead a formidable Patriots offensive line as they attempt to take their next step in the roster reconstruction centered around rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

Free agent center David Andrews is finalizing a four-year deal to return to the New England Patriots, according to Field Yates.

Fantasy Impact

Andrews, who has spent his entire career in New England, opted to test free agency prior to re-signing with the Pats. This move should benefit both sides as Andrews is a team captain and one of the respected players in the locker room, per Yates. He'll help shore up New England's offensive line, which just lost stud guard Joe Thuney to the Chiefs in free agency.

Patriots starting center David Andrews' season is in jeopardy after he was found to have a blood clot in his lung.

Fantasy Impact
