The New England Patriots placed right tackle Marcus Cannon on the injured reserve on Wednesday because his right ankle injury had not been healing well and required surgery. Cannon was named Second Team All Pro in 2016 so his loss is a large one- and it just adds to the list of key Patriots players that can no longer play due to their injuries.
Cannon isn’t the only 2016 Second Team All Pro on the Patriots injured reserve. Linebacker Dont’a Hightower and special teamer Nate Ebner are both also on the injured reserve.
