New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel indicated that rookie offensive tackle Caleb Lomu will be in the mix at guard, according to Boston Herald's Doug Kyed.
Along with Lomu, veteran offensive tackle James Hudson will also continue to get reps at the guard position.
The depth at guard has been questionable behind Alijah Vera-Tucker and Mike Onwenu. That has pushed the Patriots to search for other options for emergency situations. It never hurts to be prepared, and either Lomu or Hudson could have their number called if something catastrophic happens.
Along with Lomu and Hudson, Ben Brown is also expected to be in the mix for backup duties.
The Patriots drafted Lomu in the first round as the expected replacement for veteran right tackle Morgan Moses at some point. However, there were no guarantees that would happen this season.
