Source: Wynn put on IR in latest blow to Pats' OL

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have placed starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn on injured reserve with a toe injury, a source told ESPN's Field Yates, but there is a chance he could return later in the season.

A player placed on injured reserve during the season can't practice for six weeks, and isn't eligible to play in a game for eight weeks. So that means the earliest Wynn could play is Nov. 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The loss of Wynn is yet another blow to the Patriots' offensive line, which has dealt with a string of injuries and retirements since the spring.
