Patriots host Greg Van Roten for offensive line depth evaluation

The New England Patriots hosted veteran guard Greg Van Roten for a free-agent visit on August 6, 2026, as they assess their offensive line depth. Van Roten, 36, has played 105 games and is noted for his durability, having not missed a snap in the last two seasons. The Patriots are exploring backup options as training camp progresses, particularly behind a starting line that includes Will Campbell and Alijah Vera-Tucker. Van Roten’s familiarity with NFL dynamics and historical performance could provide valuable experience for the team. No contract has been signed yet, and the Patriots would need to make a corresponding roster move to secure Van Roten's services.
