Vederian Lowe Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Patriots vs Bengals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Aug 4, 2025
Activated from PUP list Monday
Lowe (undisclosed) was activated off the active/PUP list and took part in practice Monday, Tayloy Kyles of Patriots on CLNS reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe worked as the third-string left tackle Monday behind rookie Will Campbell and Demontrey Jacobs. Lowe made 13 starts for New England in 2024, so he may just be getting brought along slowly in his return from injury. The offensive lineman will look to climb the depth chart in the preseason, which begins for the Patriots on Friday against the Commanders.

Moves to PUP list
The Patriots placed Lowe on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear what type of issue Lowe is dealing with, but this move isn't necessarily an indication that he won't be ready for the start of the campaign, as players placed on the PUP list during the preseason can begin practicing and participating in games as soon as they are medically cleared.

Will return to action Week 8
Lowe (ankle) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lowe hurt his ankle Week 6 against Houston and was unable to play last Sunday versus Jacksonville. However, he was able to finish this week with a pair of limited practices, allowing him to return to action Sunday. Lowe should reprise his starting role at left tackle upon his return.
Oct 25, 2024
Chance to play Week 8
Lowe (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lowe suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans, which kept him off the field for Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. The 2022 sixth-round pick opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but he followed that up with consecutive limited practices and has given himself a chance at returning from a one-game absence. If Lowe is unable to play Sunday, Demontrey Jacobs would be in line to make his second-straight start at left tackle and be tasked with protecting Drake Maye's blindside.
Oct 17, 2024
Won't play Week 7
Lowe (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Lowe suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans. He underwent an MRI on his ankle Monday, and while the results of those tests haven't been announced, the injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for Week 7. Mike Onwenu shifted from right guard to left tackle after Lowe left Sunday's game, and the former could remain at that spot or Zachary Thomas could draw the start.
Oct 14, 2024
To undergo MRI
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Lowe will have an MRI to evaluate the ankle injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was knocked out of New England's contest in Week 6 after just 10 snaps, and now his team will have to hope his ankle issue doesn't keep him out even longer. 2022 Zachary Thomas is considered the next man up for the Patriots at tackle.
Oct 13, 2024
Ruled out
Lowe (ankle) will not return Sunday against the Texans, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe has had an injury-riddled 2024 campaign so far. He'll work to get healthy and return in Week 7 against the Jaguars.
Oct 13, 2024
Injured again
Lowe (ankle) has exited Sunday's game against the Texans, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe missed multiple games this season due to a knee injury and he'll now take to the sidelines with an ankle injury. Although he's questionable to return, Mike Onwenu will fill in for now at offensive tackle for the Illinois product.
Oct 6, 2024
Will return in Week 5
Lowe (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Lowe missed back-to-back games due to a knee injury but is cleared to return in Week 5. He'll presumably start at left tackle against Miami.
Sep 27, 2024
Ruled out for Week 4
Lowe (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowe will be forced to miss a second straight game due to a knee injury. Caedan Wallace (knee) is also questionable to play, so New England may be down to third-string Demontrey Jacobs at left tackle in Week 4.
Sep 18, 2024
Out for Thursday night
Lowe (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was unable to practice Wednesday after being estimated as a DNP on both Monday and Tuesday, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up in Week 3. Expect rookie Caedan Wallace to protect Jacoby Brissett's blindside in Lowe's stead.
Sep 15, 2024
Exits late
Lowe (knee) has left Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowe's absence will the Patriots without their left tackle for the remainder of the game. Caedan Wallace will likely finish the contest at the position, assuming the Illinois product doesn't return before the conclusion of it.
Sep 8, 2024
Will play Week 1
Lowe (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Lowe had been dealing with an oblique injury since mid-August. He was a limited participant in all three practices this week, and he will suit up for the Patriots' regular-season opener. The 2022 sixth-round pick will serve in a depth capacity on the Patriots' offensive line behind starting tackles Mike Onwenu and Chukwuma Okorafor.
Aug 22, 2024
Has oblique injury
Lowe is dealing with an oblique injury, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A sixth-round pick in 2022, Lowe made eight starts -- four at left tackle and four at right tackle -- last season for New England. The Patriots are still trying to sort out their 2024 offensive line, but there's belief Lowe has the edge for starting left tackle duties, with Mike Onwenu kicking inside to right guard and veteran Chukwuma Okorafor at right tackle.
May 21, 2024
Participating at OTAs
Lowe (head) practiced Tuesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe exited New England's season finale against the Jets due to a head injury, but the third-year pro appears to have put the injury in the rearview mirror. A sixth-round selection in 2022, Lowe saw reps ahead of 2024 third-round selection, Caedan Wallace.
Jan 7, 2024
Exits game with head injury
Lowe (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was shaken up after recovering a fumble late in the fourth quarter. With little time left in the game, he's likely to remain on the sideline.
Nov 5, 2023
Returning Sunday
Lowe (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year offensive lineman logged limited practice sessions throughout the week, and it now seems as if he'll be able to play through his ankle issue this Sunday. With Trent Brown (ankle) missing Sunday's contest, Lowe is expected to start at left tackle.
Oct 28, 2023
Will not play Week 8
Lowe (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was not on the injury report for Wednesday's practice, but was a limited participant in Thursday's session. The Patriots are dealing with multiple injuries on their offensive line, including veteran left tackle Trent Brown (ankle), who Lowe replaced in their 29-25 win over the Bills in Week 7.
Oct 25, 2023
Not on injury report
Lowe (ankle) did not appear on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was forced out of the team's Week 7 win over the Bills early with an ankle injury, but he now appears healthy heading into Week 8. The 24-year-old replaced Trent Brown (ankle) in the contest and it's possible he could draw a start at left tackle Sunday if Brown is unable to go.
Oct 22, 2023
Leaves game Sunday
Lowe (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Bills and is listed as questionable.
ANALYSIS
Lowe did not start the game but replaced left tackle Trent Brown after the latter entered the blue medical tent on the sideline. The second-year pro started five contests in 2023 before Sunday.
Aug 28, 2023
Dealt to New England
Lowe was traded from the Vikings to the Patriots in exchange for a sixth-round pick Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was a sixth-round pick by the Vikings in 2022, and he appeared in just four games as a rookie. He'll now attempt to carve out a role on the Patriots' offensive line.
Apr 30, 2022
Slots in with Minnesota
The Vikings selected Lowe in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 184th overall.
ANALYSIS
Lowe was a five-year starter at Illinois, but he played almost exclusively at left tackle. While the 23-year-old has the necessary arm length to be an effective blocker at the NFL level, it remains to be seen whether he can be athletic enough to play at tackle, or if the Vikings will move Lowe to a swing guard spot.
