Patriots add veteran Greg Van Roten to offensive line depth

The New England Patriots signed Greg Van Roten to address interior offensive line concerns following injuries to Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich during a preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. The 36-year-old enters his 15th NFL season with experience across nine different franchises. Last year with the New York Giants, Van Roten started all 17 games and played every offensive snap. His scouting report highlights his pass protection skills and durability, though his run blocking and foot speed have declined with age. Van Roten arrives in Foxborough as a versatile interior option intended to provide stability for the Patriots’ offensive unit.
