The 2022 first-round pick is recovering from a left patella tendon tear suffered Week 15 of the 2023 season.

  Strange (knee) is expected to miss the start of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The starting guard missed New England's first day of OTAs while continuing to rehab from the knee issue he sustained in Week 15 versus Kansas City last year, with coach Jerod Mayo calling him "month-to-month."
