The Patriots have plenty of injury issues on the offensive line as they head into Thursday night’s game against the Jets.

Left tackle Vederian Lowe and left guard Sidy Sow have both been ruled out for the game. Lowe has a knee injury and did not finish last Sunday’s game. Sow has not played yet this season due to an ankle injury...

..."Like, the contract they offered Nick Caley was a very healthy contract, so it makes sense that you would have the person who's negotiating that contract in there. Now, Nick Caley turned it down, but (it was) a very healthy contract for a first-time coordinator. So, the fact that you would have the person who's writing that contract in the room does make some sense."

According to Front Office Sports, the NFL's highest-paid offensive coordinators -- Todd Monken of the Baltimore Ravens and Mike Kafka of the New York Giants -- both make roughly $3 million per year. Breer says the Patriots were prepared to nearly match that number.

"Nick got offered almost $3 million a year," Breer added. "So, the fact that you're willing to pay a first-time coordinator that number -- that's really, really good number...

The Patriots may get starting left guard Sidy Sow back for this weekend's game against the 49ers in San Francisco. That's great news for a New England offensive line that can use all the help it can get.

Sow missed the first three games of the season with an ankle injury, but took the practice field on Monday in Foxboro. The Patriots don't usually practice on Mondays, but practiced this Monday after having the weekend off following last Thursday night's loss to the New York Jets.
Sow has been sidelined since Aug. 25, so getting him out for practice is a huge step. But as he tends to do with injured players, head coach Jerod Mayo said that how Sow feels on Tuesday will give a better indication of his recovery.

"He'll be out there today, hopefully moving around a little bit," Mayo said of Sow during his Monday morning press conference at Gillette Stadium. "We'll see how he responds the next day."
