FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots’ offense was dealt a serious blow Wednesday when it was revealed that starting left tackle Nate Solder will be lost for the rest of the 2015-16 campaign.
According to a team source, Solder will require season-ending surgery for a torn right biceps suffered late in the first half of Sunday’s 30-6 victory over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas....
“Yeah, that was a call they made and we’re just going to roll forward and see what happens,’’ the 6-foot-8-inch, 325-pound Solder said before exiting the locker room with an ice pack on his arm.

Belichick didn’t reveal the team’s plan, which will either be flipping seven-year veteran Sebastian Vollmer (6-foot-8, 320 pounds) from right tackle to left tackle, or simply inserting five-year veteran Marcus Cannon (6-5, 335) at left tackle, but spoke confidently about both players.
