Texans' Jake Andrews: Injures foot vs. LAR
Rotowire
Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters that the Texans will monitor a foot injury Andrews picked up during Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Andrews was carted off the field in the second half of Sunday's game with what was reported at the time as an ankle injury. He'll undergo further tests to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury, but it puts the 2023 fourth-rounder in jeopardy of missing the Texans' Week 2 clash against the Buccaneers on Monday, Sept. 15.

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.
