Wendell, who underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, was a candidate to start in place of the injured Bryan Stork, but he was also ruled out.
This mean’s that undrafted free-agent David Andrews will start at center for the champions.
Also inactive for the Patriots tonight are safety Tavon Wilson, cornerback Justin Coleman, defensive end Rufus Johnson, defensive tackle Khyrie Thornton, running back Travaris Cadet and defensive end Trey Flowers.
Meanwhile, for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as expected quarterback Landry Jones (concussion), heads the list of players on the inactive list for the visitors.
Receiver Sammie Coates, guard Chris Hubbard, cornerback Ross Cockrell, tight end Jesse James, and defensive ends L.T. Walton and Caushaud Lyons are also inactive for tonight’s contest.
The New England Patriots will look to become the first team in 11 seasons to repeat as champions.
