Patriots-Jets injury report: Patriots rule out two key players for Week 8

The New England Patriots will be missing two important players in Sunday's pivotal Week 8 road game against the rival New York Jets.

Starting center David Andrews was ruled out Friday with a concussion. He suffered the injury as a result of an illegal blindside hit in Monday night's Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears. James Ferentz will replace Andrews at center.

New England also will be without defensive lineman Christian Barmore because of a knee injury. He also didn't play against the Bears.

Three key members of the Patriots secondary -- safeties Kyle Dugger and Adrian Phillips, as well as cornerback Jonathan Jones -- are listed as questionable.

Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones was removed from the injury report earlier in the week, but he is dealing with some numbness in his left toes and foot, per NFL Network's Mike Giardi.
