Wallace (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
The rookie offensive lineman from Penn State was designated to return from injured reserve Monday after sustaining an ankle injury in early October, but it now appears he'll need to wait another week to make his return. Wallace will remain on injured reserve, with Vederian Lowe (shoulder) or Demontrey Jacobs likely to serve as the Patriots' top left tackle in Week 15.

Wallace (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Wallace has been sidelined and on IR since Oct. 4, but he'll now be able to return to practice. The Penn State product will have 21 days to work with the team before needing to be placed back on the 53-man roster or return to injured reserve.
The Patriots placed Wallace (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
Head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters earlier Friday that Wallace would be placed on injured reserve, and this move made it official. The rookie tackle will miss New England's next four contests, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 9, when the Patriots take on the Titans.

Head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters Friday that Wallace (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Wallace hasn't officially been placed on IR yet; however, he's set to miss an extended period of time after sustaining an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers. Vederian Lowe could start at left tackle Sunday after missing the Patriots' last two contests with a knee issue, but if he's unable to go as well, expect Demontrey Jacobs to protect Jacoby Brissett's blindside.
Wallace was using crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot after Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The offensive tackle exited Sunday's game with an apparent ankle injury and did not return. Wallace was already replacing starting left tackle Vederian Lowe (knee). Zachary Thomas filled in for Wallace on Sunday.

Wallace (ankle) has exited Sunday's game against the 49ers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Wallace's exit is a further blow to the Patriots' offensive line, especially at left tackle. With Chukwuma Okorafor (undisclosed) now on the exempt/left squad list and Vederian Lowe (knee) out as well, the Patriots will need to turn to Demontrey Jacobs or Zachary Thomas at left tackle.
