The New England Patriots added a body to their offensive line ahead of their Monday night matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
The Patriots signed veteran center Marcus Martin to their 53-man roster Monday afternoon, announcing the transaction less than three hours before kickoff.
Martin, a third-round draft pick in 2014, spent his first three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, starting 24 of the 26 games he appeared in. Since then, the 27-year-old has spent time with Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions but hasn’t played an offensive snap since 2016.
Martin did not appear in a single regular-season game in 2017, 2018 or 2019.
