The Patriots, who were already dealing with offensive line issues, will be without one of their starters on Sunday as they open the season on the road against Cincinnati.
Offensive guard Sidy Sow has been ruled out with an ankle injury, according to the team’s injury report. Sow, who had missed three consecutive practices, was the only Patriot ruled out so far.
Rookie guard Layden Robinson, who had been battling with Sow during the preseason will likely start. Michael Jordan, Nick Leverett, and Zach Thomas are also candidates to pitch in, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
