Coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that Strange (knee) won't be returning from injured reserve for Week 11, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Strange has sat out the entire season up to this point as he's recovered from a torn patella tendon he suffered near the end of last year, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. With that said, there is still hope he'll be able to suit up at some point later in 2024.

Coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that Strange (knee) won't be returning from injured reserve for Week 11, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Strange has sat out the entire season up to this point as he's recovered from a torn patella tendon he suffered near the end of last year, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. With that said, there is still hope he'll be able to suit up at some point later in 2024.
Strange (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list without an exact return timetable, is expected to play this season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Strange has already missed a requisite four games since opening the regular season on the PUP list, and while New England hasn't offered an actionable timetable for his return, the left guard is expected to contribute at some point this year. The 2022 first-round pick is recovering from a left patella tendon tear suffered Week 15 of the 2023 season.
The Patriots placed Strange (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Strange will miss at least the first four games of the season as he continues his rehab from a knee injury suffered in Week 15 of last season. Sidy Sow (ankle) and Mike Onwenu are pencilled in as the Patriots' current guards, assuming Sow is healthy for Week 1.
The Patriots placed Strange (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports. Strange is not expected to be ready for the start of the season, as he is still dealing with a knee injury suffered during Week 15 of last season. The Patriots will have until cut-down day to activate the 2022 first-round pick off the PUP list, or he will be forced to sit out at least four games.
Strange (knee) is expected to miss the start of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Strange's knee injury could keep him sidelined until the middle of the 2024 regular season, per Rapoport. The starting guard missed New England's first day of OTAs while continuing to rehab from the knee issue he sustained Week 15 versus the Chiefs in 2023, with coach Jerod Mayo calling him "month-to-month." Per Chad Graff of The Athletic, the Patriots started Sidy Sow and Nick Leverett at guard to kick off OTAs.
Strange (knee) was labeled as "month to month" in his recovery process by New England coach Jerod Mayo on Monday. The offensive guard suffered the knee injury during a Week 15 loss to the Chiefs in 2023. Strange then missed the Patriots' final three games of the season. The 2022 first-round pick started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and all 10 that he played in last season.
