Ben Brown prepares for potential starting role for Patriots against Bills
Summary

Ben Brown is poised to step in at right guard for the New England Patriots as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots lost starter Mike Onwenu to a fractured ankle and his replacement, Greg Van Roten, is also sidelined due to injury. Brown, a rookie free agent in 2022 who has mostly played guard and center, stated he feels ready to contribute if called upon. With the depth chart now limited, the team looks to Brown, Walter Rouse, and Matt Pryor to fill the gap on the offensive line.
