"The biggest hits came when rookie offensive lineman Jared Wilson left the game during the team's first drive with an ankle injury. He was carted to the locker room, immediately worrying fans about his availability. The same was also felt not too long later, when starting left tackle Will Campbell left the game with a leg injury."
"But in the meantime, that means the Patriots' depth will be tested on the offensive line, and although many analysts and fans are concerned about who will be filling in for the impressive rookies, the most important person of all is not at all worried. Drake Maye doesn't seem at all concerned about how the Patriots' offensive line backups will play the rest of the season. As of now, the expectation is that Vederian Lowe will fill in at left tackle, who rotated at the position for much of last season, and Ben Brown will fill in at left guard or center, wherever he is needed."
The New England Patriots scraped out a close win over the Cincinnati Bengals, marking a ninth straight victory. Rookie offensive lineman Jared Wilson left with an ankle injury and starting left tackle Will Campbell exited with a leg injury. Early reports indicate neither injury is season-ending and both are expected to return in time for the playoffs. Vederian Lowe is expected to plug in at left tackle while Ben Brown may shift to left guard or center. Drake Maye expressed confidence that the unit's prior reps together will ease the transition and maintain comfort.
