Patriots rule out offensive captain and defensive star for Sunday’s game vs Jets

Sunday’s road trip to MetLife Stadium will be an unusually difficult one for the New England Patriots with the New York Jets sitting at 5-2 and riding a four-game winning streak.

The Patriots will also be without an offensive captain and key defensive star heading into the matchup. On Friday, the team announced that center David Andrews and defensive tackle Christian Barmore will both be out.

Barmore is still dealing with a knee injury from the team’s Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns, while Andrews was on the receiving end of what is being called an “extremely dirty play” by Chicago Bears defensive lineman Mike Pennel.
