The New England Patriots are set to play their fourth game of the 2024 season on Sunday afternoon, as they've hit the road for an interconference battle with the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium.

For the matchup, the Patriots have listed six players as inactive, including linebacker Anfernee Jennings.

Joining Jennings on this list are tight end Jaheim Bell, defensive end Jamree Kromah, offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, guard Michael Jordan and quarterback Joe Milton III (emergency third quarterback).

There's a good chance that Demontrey Jacobs will get the start at left tackle for New England, making him the fourth tackle that the team has started at the position in four weeks. That's obviously not ideal and is a big reason why the offense has struggled so far this season.

The best news is that guard Sidy Sow isn't on this list, and he'll make his 2024 debut at guard, which should help solidify the interior alongside David Andrews and Layden Robinson at least until Cole Strange returns.
