FOXBORO, Mass. — Entering spring practices, the belief was that Trent Brown would be the starting right tackle for the Patriots, assuming good health.
Then, once left Isaiah Wynn showed up for mandatory minicamp, he and Brown flip-flopped, with Wynn handling the bulk of snaps at right tackle. With the two maintaining those spots at the start of training camp, it appeared as if Wynn was primed to be New England’s starter on the right side.
But what if Wynn isn’t around, either because he gets traded or suffers an injury?
OK, then experienced swing tackle Justin Herron would take his spot, right?
