New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo announced center David Andrews and rookie offensive tackle Caedan Wallace would go on injured reserve Friday.
It was announced on Wednesday that Andrews would be undergoing season-ending surgery on his shoulder. Meanwhile, Wallace is dealing with an ankle injury. There’s still a chance he could return this season.
These are major developments for the offensive line. Wallace got his first NFL start against the New York Jets in Week 3, and he has played in all four games so far this season. Andrews is a longtime team captain and a key veteran piece on the line.

This is just more unfortunate news for an offensive line that has been decimated by both injuries and inconsistent play. The Patriots need to improve immediately along the offensive front, but they currently have few options for doing so.
