Rookie report: First-round pick Caleb Lomu worked at right tackle with the top unit (no practice for veteran Morgan Mose

What happened: First-round pick Caleb Lomu ran with the starting offensive line at right tackle during Wednesday's session, with veteran Morgan Moses not practicing. Lomu also rotated in as the second-unit left tackle, showing the kind of position flexibility coaches prize on the edge.

Why it matters: Bouncing between both tackle spots is the clearest sign yet that New England views Lomu as its top swing tackle entering the 2026 season. That role carries real weight on a line where the rookie could be the first man up if either starting tackle goes down, making his June reps a window into the team's contingency planning.

By the numbers: Lomu arrived as the No.

What to watch: Watch whether Moses returns to practice in the coming days and whether Lomu holds onto the first-team right tackle reps, an early read on how quickly the rookie is trusted.
