Patriots place Onwenu on IR, promote Wishnowsky after ankle fracture

The New England Patriots placed starting right guard Mike Onwenu on injured reserve on Tuesday following a fractured right ankle sustained during their Week 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move ensures Onwenu will miss at least four games, though the injury may end his season. To address the resulting depth issues, the team promoted punter Mitch Wishnowsky from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and added veteran tight end Tanner Conner. Greg Van Roten is expected to start at right guard, while the Patriots now face significant salary cap constraints and a thin interior offensive line backup pool.

Onwenu Takes Pay Cut to Boost Patriots' 2026 Cap

Patriots right guard Mike Onwenu reworked his contract for 2026, taking a $7.5 million pay cut to a $10 million final-year payout, with the entire amount guaranteed. The move frees $7.5 million in cap space and comes as Onwenu has started 66 of the last 68 regular-season games, potentially enabling another move like a long‑rumored trade for A.J. Brown, though New England was already well under the cap.

"Patriots Lock in Mike Onwenu with Lucrative Three-Year Deal"

Mike Onwenu, a versatile offensive lineman, has signed a three-year, $57 million contract with the New England Patriots, with $38 million guaranteed and a $22.5 million signing bonus. His return is seen as crucial for the team, but there is still work to be done on the offensive line, especially with the potential loss of Trent Brown. The Patriots' focus on solidifying their offensive line is heightened as they may draft a quarterback at No. 3 and need to ensure protection for the rookie.

Assessing the Impact of the Patriots' 2023 Draft on Roster and Future Prospects.

The New England Patriots drafted 12 players in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the focus is on the future of their 2020 rookie class, including Kyle Dugger, Josh Uche, and Mike Onwenu, who are set to become free agents in 2024. Despite drafting defensive end Keion White, hybrid linebacker Marte Mapu, and three interior offensive linemen early on day three, the Patriots should prioritize retaining their "hits" from the 2020 class, especially with a projected $100-plus million in cap space next spring. The team should build for the future by adding rookies to their core group, not replacing key pieces.
