With Wilson sidelined, Ben Brown stepped in as the left guard. Brown previously started when Wilson missed a game in September and has experience as a starter, including ten games at center last year. Additionally, the Patriots have Caedan Wallace on the active roster, who trained as a guard during the summer, alongside Brenden Jaimes and Andrew Rupcich on the practice squad, ensuring depth on the interior offensive line.
