Who Should I Start? Charles Cross or Cole Strange

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross (toe) got in another full practice on Friday and will play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year tackle sprained his toe in Week 1 and missed the next three games as a result. Seattle had a bye in Week 5 and the extra time off proved to be enough for Cross to get back on the field for Week 6. Cross will be tasked with protecting quarterback Geno Smith against a pesky Bengals defense on Sunday. His return should give all relevant Seattle skill players a boost.

New England Patriots offensive guard Cole Strange (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time during the regular season. The 2022 first-round pick out of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has been sidelined all year due to a torn patellar tendon. Although he has not lived up to his draft capital, he could provide a boost for a struggling offensive line when he returns. It remains to be seen if he has a shot to play this week against the Miami Dolphins, but the organization could decide to ramp him up slowly. Strange has played in just 27 games since entering the NFL, so there is still time for him to develop and be a key piece of the Drake Maye era in New England.
