New England Patriots former starting guard Cole Strange was activated last week but didn't get any snaps in the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
That could change in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Strange suffered a season-ending knee last year and has been preparing for a late 2024 return. Coach Jerod Mayo confirmed starting center Ben Brown was in concussion protocol on Thursday. When asked if Strange could be in line for snaps at center, Mayo named both Strange and Lecitus Smith as options to potentially replace Brown if he fails to clear protocol in time.
