According to various sources on twitter. Sad.

Too bad. He may have played his last game as a Patriot.

Mason is also said to be walking better so I would guess that 1-2 week timeframe is probably applicable to him too.

2013: Mankins - Wendell - Connolly

2015: Kline - Andrews/Stork - Mason/Jackson


The interior of the OL was replaced quickly in two years. The new group is solid and all 25 years old or younger.

I agree that Wendell is a goner.

Foxboro Flu strikes again.

This was an eventuality.

I can't remember the last time our Offensive Line was so decimated with injuries....this is really unfortunate, that it's become the weakest link of our offense

I'm sorry but our depth in the OL just took another severe blow, if this is true. And to make matters worse, our experience along the offensive line is almost none existent. Think about this. After Volmer, 3rd year player, Josh Kline is the next most experience lineman on the team. That is CRAZY. If I were Bill I'd be calling up Dan Connolly to see what kind of shape he's in. It is that bad.

BTW- I was watching some of the clips and if you look at the OL on some of the Dolphin game highlights, our best pass blocker is Brady. Our OL was getting blown up, and Brady would have been killed if he had to hold on to the ball one more second.

2005. By the time the Denver game ended, they were down to their #3LT, #2LG, #2C, #1RG and #3RT.

I expect an addition or two to the active roster, Causell, Barker, or both.

Bummer. He's a solid vet and good locker room presence to have. I'm happy to see Stork back though. It remains to be seen whether Stork can be as versatile as Wendell was.

@jeffphowe: Wendell had more snaps on special teams (18) than offense (13) this season. Played 12 OL snaps after Tre' Jackson's injury, 1 at fullback.

Nonexistent this year.

Not surprised.. think Andrews goes to G and Stork to C. Andrews will cover for Jackson. Think we are good for now, as Williams is the emergency tackle backup.

But if Vollmer goes down, we are really screwed.

Yes, while great depth this wont affect performance at all as long as the line stays healthy. Stork back is a huge plus.

We can drop the safety we picked up from the Colts and sign someone from the PS.

Then reload the PS.

We added Stork, a better player, and lost Wendell, a more versatile one.

Get the W and NO injuries this weekend.

Stork is a lot bigger. I think he makes more sense at G for now.

Stork for Wendell was probably always going to be the roster move made.

Wendell was inactive for the first 5 games and then when Mason got injured he didn't see any playing time in the jests game and didn't come into the game until Jackson got injured and that was 12 snaps. Which I never saw him get injured in that game and he oddly enough pops up on the injury report with a knee problem the week Stork can come back.

Mason and Jackson have surpassed Wendell at G and Andrews surpassed him as a C.

We're at 53
