The Patriots are entering their matchup against the Colts with a hefty injury report.
Offensive lineman Cole Strange was the only player New England declared out for Week 13. Strange, the Patriots’ 2022 first-round draft pick, was designated for return last week as he recovers from a knee injury he sustained last season. He practiced for the first time this season last Wednesday and has been a limited participant since.
Though Strange has solely played as a guard in New England, all signs point toward him playing center upon his eventual return. The 26-year-old has been receiving coaching from veteran center David Andrews as the pair have been sidelined with their respective ailments.
