There's a good chance that the New England Patriots' starting offensive line will look significantly different heading into Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears.
When speaking with media members on Tuesday, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel revealed that both starting guards from last week, Ben Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker, will "probably not" play in the Week 7 game. Brown left Sunday's game with a knee injury, while Vera-Tucker was knocked out with a hamstring injury.
As for starting right tackle Morgan Moses, according to Vrabel, the veteran offensive lineman has a chance to play in the game.
Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse stepped in as the replacement guards against the Jets. So one would think those two will once again be the go-to options for
the Patriots up front. On Monday, Vrabel announced the practice squad signings of Andrew Rupcich and Jacob Rizy to help fill some of the depth issues on the roster.

It has been astonishing to see offensive linemen drop like flies every week, and even players on the team are struggling to make sense of it.
“It's my second year in the NFL. I played college and I played high school. I've never, in my life, seen this, even just watching football,” Patriots center Jared Wilson said.
