Mike Onwenu Placed on Injured Reserve After Sustaining Broken Right Ankle

The New England Patriots officially placed starting right guard Mike Onwenu on injured reserve after he sustained a broken right ankle during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Onwenu will be sidelined short-term at minimum, with a return this season uncertain. Greg Van Roten replaced him on the line, while the Patriots promoted punter Mitch Wishnowsky and signed tight end Tanner Conner to the practice squad in corresponding roster moves.
