Could Patriots' first-round pick OL be in line for position change?

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo confirmed the team is considering working injured guard Cole Strange out at center when he's healthy enough to return.

Strange is not ready to practice yet, as he is still working his way back from a torn patellar tendon. The Patriots could use some center depth behind longtime starter David Andrews.

Nick Leverett struggled in Sunday’s preseason finale against the Washington Commanders, and his struggles have lasted throughout the entire preseason. Mayo left the door open for Strange potentially taking reps at center when asked about the possibility, as transcribed by Pro Football Network's Dakota Randall.
