Patriots’ offensive line hit a rough patch in preseason opener as starters Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich both went down with lower-body injuries. Brown needed help off the field, while Rupcich left after a play—both seemed okay but are now being evaluated. With depth thin at guard and center, backups like rookie Jacob Rizy stepped in. The team may need to bolster the position, especially with veteran Greg Van Roten already worked out. While not yet serious, this is a key area to monitor as the season nears.
