Patriots will try to bounce back at home against Steelers
- On Sunday, Patriots right guard Mike Onwenu was carted off the field during the first quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a significant right ankle injury suffered with less than one minute remaining in the opening quarter.
- Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt lunged at quarterback Drake Maye while pursuing a sack, missed the quarterback, and landed awkwardly on Onwenu's right leg from behind.
- Marking his 100th career regular-season game, the seven-year veteran Onwenu had been remarkably durable; veteran Greg Van Roten replaced him at right guard.
- Team officials ruled Onwenu out for the remainder of the game, joining linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, who suffered a shoulder injury attempting to recover an Aaron Rodgers fumble.
- The 28-year-old is in the final year of his contract and now faces uncertainty regarding availability for the remainder of the 2026 season following the significant injury.
