Vederian Lowe

Patriots OT Vederian Lowe (ankle) left New England’s Week 6 game against the Texans and was ruled out.

Zach Thomas — not that one — took over at left tackle for the Patriots. Lowe appeared to get rolled up on by a teammate at some point in the first half. A New England line that was already in rough shape at the start of the season has been besieged by injuries. The quick rule out does not augur well for Lowe’s short-term future.
