Patriots' offensive line changes after Van Roten suffers thigh injury

During a recent game, New England Patriots offensive line faced challenges after Greg Van Roten left in the second quarter with a thigh injury. Van Roten's absence, due to his replacement by Walter Rouse, raised concerns as Rouse allowed significant pressure, including a sack. Head coach Mike Vrabel noted that Ben Brown, who missed the season opener due to a knee injury, may play a critical role moving forward. Brown's previous experience starting at left guard could see him in a more prominent position if Van Roten is unable to recover quickly. Updates on Van Roten's condition will follow after further tests.
