Lynn Bowden Jr. call-up among Patriots' intriguing roster moves entering Colts matchup

The Patriots made a handful of roster moves on Saturday that are worthy of our attention.

Marcus Cannon being placed on injured reserve with a concussion should headline the list. He was the team's starter at right tackle -- replacing Isaiah Wynn, who has struggled -- as of last week. Now he'll miss at least the next four weeks before he's allowed to return, if he can pass through the league's concussion protocol.

One teammate described the situation as "scary" earlier this week, though Cannon was in the facility Friday, and his presence was a source of some optimism in the Patriots locker room.
