Very similar to Tyrone Wheatley Jr., who New England acquired earlier on Sunday of their swap with Cleveland involving Pierre Sturdy, Lowe doesn’t have quite a lot of expertise within the NFL ranks.
However given the state of New England’s depth on the sort out place, it’s clear that Invoice Belichick and his employees are prioritizing extra assistance on the skin of their offensive line following a lackluster preseason from that total unit.
Past Trent Brown, the Patriots have struggled to seek out regular play at sort out all summer time.

Past Brown, the Patriots tried to shore up their spots at sort out by bringing again veteran Conor McDermott, in addition to signing veteran tackles Calvin Anderson and Riley Reiff in free company.
Little has gone proper since then.
McDermott struggled for prolonged stretches of camp and has now been absent on account of an undisclosed harm. Anderson has but to participate in a workforce follow this whole summer time on account of a non-football sickness (NFI), whereas Reiff was shifted over to proper guard halfway by means of preseason play, solely to endure a leg harm throughout Friday’s preseason finale in opposition to the Titans.
Despite the fact that Wheatley and Lowe are unproven merchandise, they at the least stand as succesful depth choices at a place the place New England has little to show to with two weeks remaining till the common season will get underway.
