Onwenu (hand) participated in Wednesday's practice, Paul Perillo of Patriots.com reports. Onwenu was limited at OTAs in the spring due to his hand injury, but he now appears to be back at full strength. The 27-year-old has been an important component of the Patriots' offensive line, starting all 17 games last season. Onwenu is projected to slot in at right guard alongside recent addition Morgan Moses in 2025.

Onwenu has been limited at OTAs this spring due to a hand injury, NFL.com reports. It doesn't sound serious. Onwenu opened the 2024 season at right tackle but was kicked back inside to right guard in Week 5. After New England signed veteran RT Morgan Moses in free agency and then drafted LT Will Campbell with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Onwenu figures to stick at guard this coming season.

Onwenu is slated to be the Patriots' starting right tackle in 2024, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports. Owenwu has bounced around New England's offensive line playing guard and tackle for the last two seasons, but that is no longer the plan for the 26-year-old. The 2020 sixth-rounder recently signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension with the team, whose new coaching staff views the Michigan product as exclusively a tackle.

The Patriots plan to sign Onwenu to a three-year, $57 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Over four years with New England, Onwenu has missed just two games, so the Patriots expect to retain stability on their offensive line for the future. They're also hoping to improve a rushing offense that ranked 26th in the league in 2023.

Onwenu (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo. New England's starting right guard is in line to play Sunday after suffering an ankle injury during the team's Week 6 loss to the Raiders and logging limited practice sessions all week. Onwenu continues to be an iron man for the Patriots, as he's only missed one game throughout his four-year NFL career.
