Patriots vs. Chargers inactives: Ben Brown OUT, Cole Strange IN

The New England Patriots' offensive line could undergo some significant changes in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Center Ben Brown is officially inactive due to a concussion, which opens the door for former first-round draft pick Cole Strange to get his first start at center for the team. Lecitus Smith is the other option on the roster for the Patriots.

Strange stepping into the role is intriguing considering the team is still searching for long-term stability at the position behind injured team captain David Andrews.

Rookie tackle Caedan Wallace is also officially active for Saturday's game.
