Patriots rule out starting offensive lineman for Week 7 vs. Jaguars

The New England Patriots are traveling to London, England on Thursday for a Week 7 battle with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

After practice, New England released a practice injury report with two players who didn't participate - running back Rhamondre Stevenson and offensive tackle Vederian Lowe.

Thursday night, the Patriots officially ruled Lowe out for Sunday's matchup, likely meaning that he didn't make the trip across the Atlantic Ocean.

New England has started three defensive left tackles through four six weeks with Chukwuma Okorafor and Caedan Wallace each starting one and Lowe starting the other four.

This will make a fourth starter at left tackle this season with Okorafor on the reserve/left squad list and Wallace on injured reserve. The Patriots could flip Michael Ownenu, who had moved back to guard, over to left tackle. They could also start Zach Thomas or Demontrey Jacobs, neither of which are ideal.

The good thing about this news is that Stevenson hasn't been ruled out yet, meaning he likely traveled with the team to London. So, there's a chance that he plays on Sunday if his health improve. If not, New England will lean on Antonio Gibson, JaMycal Hasty and practice squad elevation again.
