10:30 a.m. ET: The New England Patriots added some much needed depth to their offensive line Saturday, when they activated Bryan Stork, but question marks still remain along the unit heading into Sunday's matchup with the Washington Redskins.
The Patriots have just five healthy offensive linemen heading into the Week 9 matchup. Guard Tre' Jackson (knee) and offensive tackle Marcus Cannon (toe) were ruled out Friday, and guard Shaq Mason is questionable to play with his own knee injury.
That leaves just Stork, center David Andrews, guard Josh Kline, left tackle Sebastian Vollmer and right tackle Cameron Fleming. Whether Kline plays on the left or right side of the line will depend on whether Stork or Mason starts. Mason only has played left guard this season, while Stork seems like a better fit on the right side. Kline has played both left and right guard this season. The Patriots also could elect to start Stork at center. He's been practicing at center and guard this week.
It might not matter who starts on the offensive line this week, however, because the 7-0 Patriots are 14.5-point favorites for good reason over the 3-4 Redskins.
Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins was added to the injury report with an illness Saturday. We'll keep an eye on the field to see if he shows up before the inactives are released at 11:30 a.m.
