A lot has changed for New England Patriots fourth-year offensive lineman Cole Strange in the span of 365 days.
Around this time in 2024, Strange was beginning his recovery from a severe injury he suffered during the previous regular season. Strange tore a patellar tendon in his left knee in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 17, 2023, which kept him off the field for the rest of the season and much of the next one.
He has since fully recuperated and did not carry any injury designations into the Patriots' OTAs, which took place over the last three weeks.
