Patriots' Vederian Lowe: To undergo MRI

Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Lowe will have an MRI to determine the severity of the ankle injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Lowe was knocked out of New England's contest in Week 6 after just 10 snaps, and the hope is his ankle issue doesn't keep him out even longer. Zachary Thomas, a 2022 sixth-round pick, is considered the next man up for the Patriots at tackle.
