The Patriots placed Andrews (thumb) on injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Andrews recently had right thumb surgery and will now be forced to miss at least three games. Since the Patriots have a Week 6 bye, he won't be eligible to return until Week 7 versus the 49ers. Hjalte Froholdt -- a 2019 fourth-round pick -- is expected to start at center until Andrews can return.
