The New England Patriots place offensive guard Greg Van Roten on injured reserve, a team announcement says. Yahoo Sports reports that the move keeps him out for at least the next four games.
The reports also note Van Roten’s recent playing time, including a start in Week 3 at EverBank Stadium. Other coverage frames the transaction within a broader context of accumulating injuries for the Patriots’ roster. With Van Roten sidelined, the team adjusts its offensive line depth for upcoming games while he remains unavailable under IR rules.
Across the sources, the central point is consistent: Van Roten is officially placed on injured reserve by the Patriots, and his absence is expected to cover multiple upcoming weeks. None of the excerpts provide additional detail on the specific injury, timing beyond the IR designation, or a confirmed return date.
