Due to injury and retirement, the Patriots Super Bowl offensive line hasn't been available for the 2015 season. Captain and left guard Dan Connolly has retired. Center Bryan Stork is on the short term injured reserve. Right guard and current captain Ryan Wendell has been incapacitated with an illness.
In true New England fashion, the next man stepped up across the board and the offense has been performing. Through three games, all seven active offensive linemen have been greatly involved and the young players have been playing well.
