The New England Patriots will need to find a new starting left guard to begin the 2024 season.
Offensive lineman Cole Strange is expected to miss the start of the 2024 NFL season and "may be out until the middle of the season" as he recovers from a "significant" knee injury, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday.
The Patriots' first-round pick (No. 29 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft, Strange started all 17 games at left guard as a rookie and made 10 starts in 2023 before missing the final three games due to injury.
