Isaiah Wynn is back at Patriots practice in positive step toward return

Share

The New England Patriots had a welcome addition at practice Wednesday with the return of left tackle Isaiah Wynn.

Wynn suffered a foot injury in New England's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins and was placed on injured reserve soon after

Wynn's return also is a signal that two other Patriots players on injured reserve, fullback James Develin and offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste, won't play again this season. The Patriots can only activate two players from IR or NFI, and it appears rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry and Wynn have been chosen.

Wynn must miss at least eight games because he went on injured reserve. Therefore, the earliest Wynn can return to game action is Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. 

His return would be a huge boost for a Patriots offensive line that has struggled at times this season, particularly in the run game. Marshall Newhouse has replaced Wynn as the starting left tackle since the University of Georgia product went down with an injury.

The Patriots will try to improve their unbeaten record to 9-0 when they play the Baltimore Ravens on the road Sunday night.
