The New England Patriots placed veteran offensive tackle Marcus Cannon on injured reserve in advance of Sunday’s matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.
In corresponding moves, the organization has signed running back J.J. Taylor to the 53-man roster and elevated wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. as well as center Kody Russey from the practice squad.
ESPN’s Field Yates first reported the series of transactions.
Cannon, 34, entered the NFL’s concussion protocol following Wednesday’s practice and was officially ruled out on Friday. The three-time Super Bowl champion has started four games since returning to the Patriots as part of the practice squad in September.
