What happened: Lucas Patrick hobbled during Friday’s practice, leaving the interior line short on healthy options. The incoming center worked out for New York earlier this week.
Why it matters: He brings five seasons of NFL experience, most of it with the Los Angeles Chargers. He spent last season with the New England Patriots.
By the numbers: He played four games last season, totaling 22 offensive snaps and 28 special-teams snaps.
What to watch: Completion of the signing and the distribution of center reps will be the next checkpoints.
