Patriots O-Lineman Reportedly On Shelf After Offseason Surgery

New England Patriots offensive lineman Mike Onwenu isn’t expected to be on the field during organized team activities this week after reportedly undergoing offseason surgery.

ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Sunday reported on Onwenu’s offseason surgery in his weekly notes column. Reiss shared how the procedure was conducted after Onwenu suffered from lingering ankle injury last season.

New England is scheduled to begin OTAs on Monday.

The versatile Onwenu is expected to be New England’s starting right guard in 2023 after having played both tackle positions in his first and second years. Onwenu is set to enter his fourth campaign after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
