The New England Patriots will have their four primary starting offensive linemen in the lineup for the first time in the 2023 season.
Trent Brown, Mike Onwenu, Cole Strange and David Andrews will all be on the field for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
It has been a revolving door at right tackle for the Patriots. So it remains to be seen how that position will shake out when facing a tough Jets defense. New England could give extended work to Vederian Lowe, or they could roll veteran Calvin Anderson out for a third straight week.
Regardless, the offensive line will be in a much better position to protect quarterback Mac Jones and finally get the run game going. Here’s the full list of inactives for the Patriots and Jets:

Cornerback Jonathan Jones was ruled out for the game on Saturday. So the Patriots will be entering this game depleted in the defensive backfield.
It’ll be down to rookie first-round draft pick Christian Gonzalez, Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade to hold off a Jets receiving corps spearheaded by star wideout Garrett Wilson.
