Onwenu started the 2021 season as the Patriots’ left guard but got benched for Ted Karras in Week 4. He wound up starting eight games that season split between left guard and right tackle. He exclusively played right guard in 17 starts in 2022 and moved between right guard and right tackle in 15 starts last season.

Mike Onwenu is a man of many roles along the New England Patriots offensive line, and he may be filling a new one Sunday in Chicago.

Mike Onwenu has been moved around so many times this season on the offensive line, and it looks like this week is no different. After moving between tackle and guard on the right side, it seems the coaching staff is now moving him to the left side.

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt indicated that the team is considering moving star tackle Mike Onwenu to left guard if it improves the offensive line situation. Onwenu has spent the season working in at right tackle and right guard.
