The Patriots’ offensive line performed above expectations in New England’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. However, the unit could be without multiple players in Week 2.

Guard Sidy Sow will miss a second straight game versus the Seattle Seahawks in the Patriots’ home opener on Sunday. Sow is recovering from an ankle injury, an ailment he’s been dealing with since the beginning of the month. 

Rookie Layden Robinson helped fill in for Sow at guard last week. Robinson himself landed on New England’s injury report this week, though, due to a shoulder injury, and is questionable to play on Sunday. He popped up on the report on Thursday when he was a limited participant during practice. Robinson was listed as a full participant for Friday’s practice.

The 23-year-old played 100 percent of snaps in his first NFL game last week. Robinson didn’t allow a sack, nor did he draw a penalty against the Bengals. He also received a 64.0 run blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

Also on offense, the Patriots could be without running back JaMycal Hasty, who’s questionable with a knee injury. He did not play against Cincinnati as Antonio Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson saw the field ahead of him.

Defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. and safety Kyle Dugger round out New England’s questionable players ahead of Sunday. Wise Jr. is dealing with a shoulder injury, per the injury report. He was a limited practice participant all week.

Wise Jr. logged two total pressures last week, according to PFF. He played less than 50 percent of defensive snaps in Week 1.

Dugger, who landed on the injury report on Thursday, is experiencing an ankle injury. He was limited in practice the last two days. Dugger played all 51 defensive snaps last week; in that, he allowed just one reception, broke up a pass, and forced a fumble to prevent a touchdown in the first half.

The Patriots listed the following players as full practice participants on their Week 2 injury report: Center David Andrews (not injury related/rest), Gibson (hip), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (wrist/knee), tackle Vederian Lowe (abdomen), safety Jabrill Peppers (hip), Stevenson (not injury related/rest), and linebacker Joshua Uche (foot).

Notably, Seattle listed running back Kenneth Walker III as doubtful with an oblique injury. Walker appeared to suffer the ailment last week versus the Broncos.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday.
