Patriots place Marcus Cannon on injured reserve, activate two skill players

The New England Patriots' depth on the offensive line will be tested for at least the next four weeks.

The Patriots placed veteran offensive lineman Marcus Cannon on injured reserve Saturday, one day after ruling Cannon out of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a concussion.

New England signed running back J.J. Taylor to the 53-man roster from its practice squad in a corresponding move and also elevated wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. and offensive lineman Kody Russey from the practice squad.
