LB Ja’Whaun Bentley (shoulder)
T Vederian Lowe (knee)
G Sidy Sow (ankle)
LB Oshane Ximines (knee)

LIMITED PARTICIPATION

LB Anfernee Jennings (knee)
CB Marcus Jones (knee)
OL Mike Onwenu (wrist)
S Jabrill Peppers (shoulder)
G Layden Robinson (shoulder)
DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (shoulder)

Jennings, Jones, Onwenu, Peppers and Robinson are all starters, as well.

Injuries to Bentley, Low, Sow and Ximines were known. Andrews finished Sunday’s overtime loss to the Seahawks despite his hip injury.

Jennings, Jones, Onwenu, Peppers, Robinson and Wise also finished the 23-20 loss in Week 2.

If Lowe can’t play, the Patriots would be on their third starting left tackle. Chukwuma Okorafor, who started Week 1, left the team on Saturday. Rookie Caedan Wallace would be the next in line to start.

Raekwon McMillan filled in for Bentley on Sunday. Sow has yet to play this season with Michael Jordan subbing in at left guard.

If Andrews can’t play Sunday, then Nick Leverett would likely be the starting center.
