Patriots will be without Mike Onwenu against Jaguars
Summary

The New England Patriots announced that offensive lineman Mike Onwenu will not play in their Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. Onwenu suffered the injury in last week's game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Veteran offensive lineman Greg Van Roten is set to start in Onwenu's place. While Van Roten brings extensive experience with 146 career games, concerns remain about the offensive line's performance without Onwenu. The Patriots are considering the possibility of Onwenu returning later in the season, but the outlook is uncertain given the nature of the injury.
