Andrews (shoulder) said Tuesday that he sustained a torn right rotator cuff in the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers and will miss the remainder of the season, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Andrews turned 32 years old back in July and wants to continue his playing career next season, assuming he makes a full recovery from surgery. Nick Leverett replaced Andrews as the starting center in Week 5 and had a rough afternoon in the Patriots' loss to Miami, allowing 10 pressures, the most by a center in at least the last 18 seasons.
