Five veterans will start on the sidelines as training camp starts in Foxborough.
The New England Patriots moved running back Antonio Gibson to the non-football injury list on Tuesday, per the NFL transaction wire, while wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, offensive linemen Cole Strange and Jake Andrews as well as linebacker Sione Takitaki have been moved to the physically unable to perform list.
Each continues to count as active while awaiting clearance and can begin practicing at any point in the preseason.
Gibson, 26, arrived on a three-year contract in March after beginning his NFL run with the Washington Commanders.
