Patriots’ entire starting offensive line dealing with injuries

The Patriots did not practice on Monday, but released a projected injury report based on what they expected to happen if they did practice.

The results weren’t great for the offensive line. Three of the starters were on the did not participate list: center David Andrews (hip), offensive guard Sidy Sow (ankle), and offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (knee).

Two more starters were listed as limited: offensive tackle Mike Onwenu (wrist) and offensive guard Layden Robinson (shoulder).

The Patriots were also without offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, who has left the team according to coach Jerod Mayo.

“Chuks left the building. He’s not with the team,” Mayo said. “He’s doing some thinking, but at this point in time, he’s not with the team, so I don’t want to get into that. I told you guys I did give him a call. We had a good call. It had nothing to do with football or a roster spot; it had everything to do with just making sure that he was okay.”

The Patriots moved the ball effectively with the run game on Sunday, tallying 181 yards on the ground and averaging 5.1 yards per carry. However, they struggles with pass protection, allowing Jacoby Brissett to be sacked three times.

“You never want your quarterback to get hit,” Mayo said. “We have to do a better job in our pass-pro up front, and we have to keep him clean because even when he’s not getting hit — or any quarterback, if they’re back there and they feel people around them, it always is going to affect you a little bit.”

“Now in saying that, I’ve always said Jacoby is a great leader, he’s a competitor, but he’s also a very tough player mentally and physically. Look, we’ll try to keep him clean going forward, but look, he has shoulder pads on just like everyone else, so we’ll see how it goes.”

New England signed offensive guard Michael Jordan, who started the last two games after being called up to the practice squad, to the 53-man roster.

The Patriots also had a pair of linebackers, Ja’Whaun Bentley (shoulder) and Oshane Ximines (knee) on the did not participate list.
