Patriots' Vederian Lowe: Will return to action Week 8
Rotowire
Lowe (ankle) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Lowe hurt his ankle Week 6 against Houston and was unable to play last Sunday versus Jacksonville. However, he was able to finish this week with a pair of limited practices, allowing him to return to action Sunday. Lowe should reprise his starting role at left tackle upon his return.
Lowe (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Lowe suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans, which kept him off the field for Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. The 2022 sixth-round pick opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but he followed that up with consecutive limited practices and has given himself a chance at returning from a one-game absence. If Lowe is unable to play Sunday, Demontrey Jacobs would be in line to make his second straight start at left tackle and be tasked with protecting Drake Maye's blindside.
Lowe (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Lowe suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans. He underwent an MRI on his ankle Monday, and while the results of those tests haven't been announced, the injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for Week 7. Mike Onwenu shifted from right guard to left tackle after Lowe left Sunday's game, and the former could remain at that spot or Zachary Thomas could draw the start.
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Lowe will have an MRI to determine the severity of the ankle injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Lowe was knocked out of New England's contest in Week 6 after just 10 snaps, and the hope is his ankle issue doesn't keep him out even longer. Zachary Thomas, a 2022 sixth-round pick, is considered the next man up for the Patriots at tackle.
