Patriots Center David Andrews Reportedly Cleared to Play in 2020
By Andrew Gullotta
The Patriots' offensive line is set to get a huge boost after this positive health report!
Per the man himself, New England center David Andrews is now cleared to return in the 2020 season. Andrews missed all of the 2019 campaign with blood clots in his lungs, and will be a boon to a Pats line that truly missed his rock-steady production after a stunning last-minute development.

The veteran lineman will add leadership to the offense, as he enters his sixth season in the league. His return will undoubtedly help whoever plays quarterback for the Patriots get acclimated to the offense.
Andrews won't be the only veteran at the line of scrimmage, as Joe Thuney will also returning to New England. The good news about all this change with the Patriots is that they aren't losing any starters on the offensive line, which is a significant advantage they have over other teams that have movement upfront. This aspect will help keep the offense somewhat stable in 2020.
Announcement from David Andrews on Instagram: He’s good to go.

After all the question marks the Patriots have going into this season, it is nice to see one familiar face for the team's offense locking and loading. If Jarrett Stidham's the guy, he just got one hell of a bodyguard.
