FOXBORO — New England Patriots rookie offensive linemen Chasen Hines and Andrew Stueber will apparently be waiting a bit longer to make their on-field debut.
With New England’s rookie class reporting to training camp on Tuesday, both Hines and Stueber have been placed on the active/non-football injury (NFI) list.
In order to be placed on the NFI list, a rookie must have suffered the injury in their previous collegiate season. Though players placed on NFI are not eligible to practice, they will continue to count against the 90-man roster. As such, they may be activated at any point before the start of the regular season.
