Andrews is listed as C (center) for Texans, implying potential interior line concerns. His health affects the run game’s consistency and the QB’s protection, particularly in inside-zone and short-yardage plays.

Andrews left the Rams game with an ankle injury and is not expected to play Week 2. His absence strains the Texans’ interior line and could affect protection and run schemes.

Andrews is sidelined with an ankle injury, paving the way for Jarrett Patterson to start at center. Patterson performed well in relief last season and did not allow a pressure in 11 pass-blocking reps in the latest game, giving Houston a more stable interior with Ingram back.

Andrews’ ankle status adds a complication to Houston’s interior line. His absence would threaten pass protection and interior run gaps, complicating the Week 2 game plan against TB’s edge rush.

Andrews' ankle injury creates a center contingency: Patterson would snap for Stroud if Andrews is unavailable. Patterson excelled in Week 1 with zero pressures across 11 pass-blocking reps, showing proficiency in the role and a viable Week 2 plug-in for the Texans' line.
