Who Should I Start? Abraham Lucas or Vederian Lowe

The Seattle Seahawks placed seven players on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, including starting right tackle Abraham Lucas (knee), who had knee surgery after the end of the 2023 season. In addition to Lucas, the Seahawks placed linebackers Jerome Baker (wrist) and Tyrel Dodson (undisclosed), cornerback Lance Boykin (undisclosed), safety Jerrick Reed II (knee), linebacker Drake Thomas (knee) and nose tackle Cameron Young (undisclosed) on the PUP list. Lucas, 25, missed 11 of the team's 17 games in 2023 due to his knee injury and now won't be ready for the start of training camp practices next week. However, he can be taken off the PUP list at any point during camp and still has a chance to be a part of Seattle's starting offensive line in Week 1 of the regular season.

The New England Patriots acquired offensive lineman Vederian Lowe from the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in exchange for a sixth-round pick, according to a league source. Lowe was a sixth-round pick by the Vikings a year ago out of Illinois and he played only four games (zero starts) for Minnesota in his first year in the NFL. The 24-year-old will look to serve as offensive-line depth in his new home in New England in his second season in the NFL in 2023.
