FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- There was a moment in the third quarter of the New England Patriots' victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday that sparked a potential dilemma: How would the team possibly replace starting left tackle Trent Brown?
Brown had entered the pop-up blue medical tent on the sideline during a break in the action, and when the Patriots’ offense returned to the field soon thereafter, he remained in the tent. So LaAdrian Waddle took over at left tackle.
