With the NFL's roster cutdown deadline looming, the New England Patriots have already started making moves.
New England will open up a roster spot without waiving or releasing a player, as they plan to keep offensive lineman Cole Strange on the PUP list to start the season, according to MassLive's Mark Daniels. This means Strange will miss at least the first four games of the 2024 season.
Strange, 26, suffered a torn patellar tendon in December which cost him the end of last season. Through his first two seasons, the 2022 first-round pick has appeared and started in 27 games for the Patriots.
