Cole Stange’s 2023 season has come to an end.
The Patriots announced on Monday evening that they placed the second-year offensive lineman on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury during New England’s 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
The 2022 first-round pick by New England needed to be carted off the field at Gillette Stadium in the first half of Sunday’s showdown with Kansas City, with the team immediately ruling him out for the rest of the afternoon due to a knee injury.
While New England didn’t have an update on the 25-year-old guard’s condition on Monday morning, Strange’s IR designation means he will not return to the gridiron for the remainder of the 2023 season.
