The New England Patriots could be getting big boosts on the offensive line before the end of the season. Coach Jerod Mayo noted in his press conference on Friday that both Cole Strange and rookie Caedan Wallace are expected to return before the end of the year.
Strange has been on the physically unable-to-perform list as he works his way back from a torn patellar tendon. Wallace was placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. He played in four games this season and started against the New York Jets back in September.
“That’s the plan,” Mayo told reporters in a team-provided video.
The offensive line has struggled with injuries and consistency issues this season. New England has gone through at least seven different starting offensive line combinations.
Perhaps the return of Strange and Wallace will help settle things down a bit.
