The Los Angeles Rams are facing ongoing challenges with their offensive line as they prepare to take on the New England Patriots. Right tackle Rob Havenstein will miss his second straight game due to an ankle injury, and Joe Noteboom is doubtful, leading to Warren McClendon Jr. likely starting at right tackle.

Coach Sean McVay has yet to confirm McClendon's starting role, but Noteboom's absence from practice raises concerns. The Rams are looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins, where the offensive line struggled significantly, contributing to quarterback Matthew Stafford being sacked four times.

With the potential for further lineup changes, the Rams are also managing injuries to tight end Tyler Higbee and safety John Johnson III, while the Patriots are dealing with multiple questionable players ahead of the matchup.
