The Patriots ruled starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn out for their playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Wynn, who started 15 games and played in 82 percent of snaps this season, is dealing with both a hip and ankle injury and missed practice Wednesday and Thursday as a result.
In his absence, Justin Herron could see a significant role. It’s also possible the Patriots will slide Trent Brown to left tackle and place Mike Onwenu at right tackle, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Cornerbacks Jalen Mills and Shaun Wade are still on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
