For the second straight year, Isaiah Wynn will end up on IR. The Patriots will shut down their left tackle starter for the time being, with Field Yates reporting (via Twitter) the foot injury he suffered in Week 2 will result in an IR stay.
Wynn, who missed all of his rookie season, will be out at least eight weeks. The Pats signed former Buccaneers starter Caleb Benenoch earlier Tuesday, and he will end up taking Wynn’s roster spot.
The 2018 first-round pick left New England’s Week 2 shutout in Miami due to turf toe. Benenoch is the latest new face on the Pats’ front. They made three preseason trades for offensive linemen and turned to newcomers Korey Cunningham and Marshall Newhouse in place of Wynn. The Pats lost Marcus Cannon to a Week 1 injury; he missed Week 2. Now they’ll have to get by without Wynn. The defending Super Bowl champions are already without center David Andrews for the season.
Even though they won Super Bowl LIII without Wynn’s services, the Pats no longer have Trent Brown as an insurance policy. Some lower-profile veterans will now be charged with protecting Tom Brady‘s blind side. While offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has proven repeatedly to be able to construct high-end blocking groups, this will be his latest challenge.
I see a Belichek call to DC in the cards. I think Trent Williams would be a good fit there and the have extra picks.
They don’t have the cap space to make it happen
The Bank of Brady will make it happen
Great chance for the Redskins to dispose of Trent Williams and for the Patriots to solve their blind side issue in what is obviously a Super Bowl run for Tom Brady.
That is, if Brady doesn’t get obliterated like Brees or Rothlisberger or Alex Smith or any of the other star veteran quarterbacks to end up on IR in the last two years.
Come on Bill get those draft picks out of your pocket. Your first only counts as a second. The Redskins probably need a pack of three since you pick so low.
Have to be impressed that the Redskins have only yielded 2 sacks so far but lets see how the OL does against the Bears on Monday. If they pass that test then Williams will be considered more expendable.
I my personal opinion, I think the Pats should get more wide receivers.
this guy is a walking injury waiting to happen.
