New England Patriots down four starting offensive linemen Sunday vs. Houston Texans

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have had almost their entire starting offensive line wiped out leading into Sunday's road game against the Houston Texans (CBS, 1 p.m. ET).

The team has already ruled out right guard Shaq Mason (abdomen) and right tackle Trent Brown (right calf) with injuries (Brown was placed on injured reserve Saturday), and left tackle Isaiah Wynn and left guard Mike Onwenu remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list after having not practiced all week.

Only starting center David Andrews is in place for a unit that knows it must protect rookie quarterback Mac Jones better.
