Mike Vrabel open to rookie trying new position with injuries mounting
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is considering playing rookie offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at guard amid a wave of injuries at the position.
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is considering playing rookie offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at guard to address the team's injuries. Speaking before training camp practice, Vrabel said, "Certainly could." The team has lost guard Andrew Rupcich to a season-ending MCL injury and backup guard Ben Brown for multiple weeks due to a leg injury.
Lomu has been the backup left tackle behind Will Campbell. The 21-year-old is now a candidate to play behind left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and right guard Mike Onwenu as the Patriots prepare for the season.
