The Patriots’ offensive line was porous for extended stretches during the 2022 season, due in large part to lackluster play at the tackle position.
If New England plans on righting the ship in a key area of its offense, it needs a rebound season from returning starter Trent Brown.
So far, the 6-foot-8 tackle’s bounce-back campaign has pretty much been grounded.
After not taking part in voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) in Foxboro, Brown was not present during Monday’s mandatory minicamp due to reported travel issues. When he was on the field Tuesday, he worked primarily on conditioning drills and did not participate in any 7-on-7s or 11-on-11s.
