I asked Zack Cox about the O-line this week, see his answer below: I'd rather push Onwenu out to RT if Wynn can't go, but what Cox says makes sense.

Hi Zack, What is the starting O-Line this Sunday in your opinion? Do you see Wynn being able to go?
If Isaiah Wynn can go, it’ll be (from left to right) Trent Brown, Cole Strange, David Andrews, Mike Onwnu and Wynn. If the back injury Wynn has been dealing with sidelines him, then things get interesting.
I probably would start Yodny Cajuste at right tackle in the event of a Wynn absence, but what we saw late in the preseason suggests Justin Herron would be the next man up. Herron has been a solid backup at left tackle throughout his career, but he has not been effective when playing on the right side. He didn’t look great there in training camp, either.
The Patriots talked up their offensive tackle depth ahead of cutdown day — director of player personnel Matt Groh said he felt “very fortunate and very confident” in it — but their decision to sign old friend Marcus Cannon to the practice squad Thursday indicated they have some reservations about their setup there. Wynn and starting left tackle Trent Brown both have lengthy injury histories, so New England needs to have a strong backup plan.
