The Patriots will have more moving pieces along their offensive line against the Chiefs.
Starting right guard Shaq Mason (calf) was one of the four inactives, so someone will need to slide in to replace him and the line will have a new look for the second straight week after Joe Thuney replaced David Andrews at center last week.
One option is keeping Thuney at center and having Hjalte Froholdt/James Ferentz play right guard. Another option is moving Michael Onwenu from left guard to right guard, shifting Thuney back to his normal spot at left guard, and going with Froholdt/Ferentz at center.
The other three inactives are Dalton Keene, Jakobi Meyers and Myles Bryant.
Jarrett Stidham and Korey Cunningham are active for the first time this year, while James White and Anfernee Jennings will return.
