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.

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.

Patriots' Caedan Wallace: New England adds in third round
Rotowire
The Patriots selected Wallace in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 68th overall.
Although he was overshadowed by teammate and fellow tackle Olu Fashanu, Wallace was a standout right tackle for Penn State and looks like a fine pickup for New England this late. Wallace (6-foot-5, 314 pounds) should have a good shot to emerge as an average or better starter at either guard or tackle, and like seemingly all Penn State prospects Wallace is an excellent athlete (31-inch vertical, 116-inch broad jump).
