With the Patriots hosting the Seahawks in their home opener at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, New England elevated G Michael Jordan and placed OT Chuks Okorafor on the exempt/left squad list on Saturday.
Jordan being a standard elevation for the second week in a row was the expectation after the Patriots ruled out starting left guard Sidy Sow (ankle) on Friday. After suffering the injury in New England's preseason finale last month, Sow will miss a second consecutive game due to his ankle injury. Furthermore, the second-year guard has yet to practice since sustaining the injury, and with a Thursday night game in Week 3, Sow could be looking at an extended absence.
