David Andrews, James White and Josh Uche out for Patriots’ Week 3 game

David Andrews will miss the Week 3 matchup with a broken thumb.

The New England Patriots will be without James White, David Andrews and Josh Uche in their Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

White’s father passed away last Sunday in a tragic car accident, leaving an unknown timetable on his return. David Andrews broke his thumb and had surgery on it earlier this week. He’s out for this week and potentially longer, with second-year interior lineman Hjalte Froholdt likely stepping up in his place.

Uche, the Patriots’ rookie third-round linebacker, hasn’t yet seen the field in an NFL game. He missed the first two games with an ankle injury and it’ll keep him sidelined for the third consecutive week.

New England has five important players listed as questionable; Adam Butler, Isaiah Wynn, Julian Edelman, N’Keal Harry and Kyle Dugger.

The Raiders will be without left tackle Trent Brown and linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski.
