It was a crowded injury report for the New England Patriots on Tuesday, particularly along the offensive front.
All five of the Patriots starting offensive linemen were listed as either non-participants or limited participants on the report. It isn’t exactly ideal for the entire offensive line to be injured two days before the Thursday Night Football game against the New York Jets.
Vederian Lowe, who has been starting at left tackle, was out with a knee injury, and Sidy Sow is still sidelined with an ankle injury.
David Andrews, Layden Robinson and Mike Onwenu were all limited at practice. Here’s the full injury report for the Patriots on Thursday:
The one change to the #Patriots injury was that C David Andrews (hip) was upgraded to a limited participant on Tuesday.

The offensive line struggled in pass protection in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Rookie Caedan Wallace stepped in at left tackle when Lowe went down during the game. He might have to do the same on Thursday if the veteran isn’t able to play.
With such a quick turnaround, it’s a murky situation for the beleaguered unit.
