Good news for Patriots' O-line

The Patriots offensive line has not been good this season. They have allowed the most sacks in the NFL, and they have struggled to create running lanes for their running backs. However, they received some good news on Sunday when starting right tackle Isaiah Wynn was activated from injured reserve.

Wynn missed the first five games of the season with a foot injury. He returned to practice last week, and he was able to start against the Jets. His return is a big boost for the Patriots' offensive line. He is a solid pass blocker, and he can also create running lanes for the running backs.

Other notes

The Patriots also got some good news on the injury front when running back Damien Harris was able to return after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. Harris was limited in practice this week, but he was able to start against the Jets. He is a key part of the Patriots' offense, and his return is a big boost.

The Jets will be without starting quarterback Joe Flacco, who is out with a neck injury. Mike White will start in Flacco's place. White has started two games this season, and he has played well. He has completed 66.7% of his passes for 524 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Patriots are favored by 6.5 points in this game. They are the better team, and they are at home. However, the Jets have played the Patriots tough in recent years. This game could be closer than the spread indicates.
