Caleb Lomu competes for larger role in Patriots' preseason game

Caleb Lomu, the Patriots' first-round rookie, aims to solidify his role in the team's offensive line during Saturday’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium. With injuries to Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich, Lomu's performance becomes critical as the team assesses its depth at tackle. Previous practices highlighted the importance of the offensive line, which provided a strong foundation for quarterback Drake Maye. Lomu has the opportunity to demonstrate he can be more than just a developmental tackle, potentially altering the team's roster strategy. The game is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET.
