Patriots injury report: Key lineman could return for 49ers game originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots could have four of their five starting offensive linemen active for Sunday’s Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Left guard Sidy Sow is officially listed as questionable on New England’s Friday injury report. The 2023 fourth-round pick has been sidelined since Week 1 with an ankle issue.
Sow’s availability will be key as his replacement, Michael Jordan, has been ruled out with an ankle injury. If Sow and Jordan are out, preseason acquisition Zachary Thomas would likely start at left guard against San Francisco.
Left tackle remains a concern with Chukwuma Okorafor on exempt/left team roster and Vederian Lowe injured in the knee. Rookie right tackle Caedan Wallace moved to the left side in Week 3, but is listed as questionable due to a knee issue.
Demontrey Jacobs looks like the next man up at left tackle. According to to our Phil PerryJacobs “did a real job in practice this week.”
Cornerback Alex Austin (ankle) will be out for Sunday’s game. Corner Jonathan Jones and linebacker Anfernee Jennings are questionable due to shoulder injuries.
Sunday’s game between the Patriots and 49ers is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Both teams enter with 1-2 records and two losses.
