Mon Sep 23 17:43:37 UTC 2024: ## Patriots Offensive Line Gets Boost as Key Players Return to Practice
**FOXBORO, MA** – The New England Patriots received a much-needed boost on Monday as key offensive linemen Sidy Sow and Vederian Lowe returned to practice after missing significant time due to injuries. Sow, the team’s left guard, participated fully for the first time since August 25th, while Lowe, the starting left tackle, was limited.
Sow’s return is particularly significant, as the team has struggled to maintain consistency on the offensive line in his absence. The Patriots were forced to rely on veteran journeyman Michael Jordan, who was limited in practice on Monday and allowed two sacks in the team’s recent loss to the Jets.
Lowe’s return, while limited, also provides a welcome relief. He was initially the backup at left tackle before starting in Week 2 and suffering an injury in the fourth quarter. This forced rookie Caedan Wallace into action, who himself was injured against the Jets. Thankfully, Wallace was also present at practice on Monday.
The return of these offensive linemen comes as good news for a Patriots team that has been struggling to protect their quarterback and open up running lanes.
However, the team did suffer a setback with the absence of tight end Hunter Henry, who was missing from practice for unknown reasons. Henry was spotted walking through the locker room before practice and did not appear to have left last Thursday’s game due to injury.
The Patriots will be off on Tuesday and will resume their regular practice schedule on Wednesday. The team’s first injury report of the week will be released on Wednesday night.
