FOXBORO -- Cole Strange may make his return for the New England Patriots on Saturday, and he'd do so in a new position. With starting center Ben Brown already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium, Strange will likely be the man snapping the football to Drake Maye in Week 17.

New England Patriots guard Cole Strange is ready to step in as the starting center if Ben Brown isn’t able to play in Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Strange was activated for his first game in almost a year against the Buffalo Bills last Sunday,

"The position I’m in, is really no different than the position that a lot of guys across the league are in, coming back from injury." The post Cole Strange nearing a return for Patriots … at center? appeared first on Boston.

The Chargers will hit the road to face Drake Maye and a Patriots offense that ranks dead last in passing yards per game.
