FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots employed a three-man rotation at offensive tackle in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Panthers. The snaps breakdown:
LT Matt Light -- 55 of 75
LT/RT Sebastian Vollmer -- 54 of 75
RT Nick Kaczur -- 41 of 75
Kaczur's shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, which knocked him out of the game, skewed the numbers a bit. While more time will be needed to assess how each tackle played, here is the breakdown of the combinations (left tackle/right tackle):
Light/Kaczur (starting combination)
Playtime: 21 of 75 snaps
Results: Punt, punt, punt, turnover
Highlight: 19-yard run by Kevin Faulk; 17-yard run by Sammy Morris
Vollmer/Kaczur (first rotation)
