Fails physical
Andrews (shoulder) was released by the Patriots on Thursday with a failed physical designation, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old played just four games in 2024 due to the injury and is in the process of rehabbing from surgery. The failed physical designation likely indicates the severity of the injury. Andrews spent 10 seasons in New England, won two Super Bowls and was named a captain in eight different campaigns, but he will now have to make a decision about his future.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mulling retirement
Andrews isn't sure if he'll keep playing in 2025, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center was released by the Patriots last week, and he'll need shoulder surgery before being able to get back onto the field, which puts his NFL future in limbo. If Andrews does elect to continue his career, he may not draw any interest as a free agent until he undergoes the surgery and can prove he's healthy afterward.
