Patriots sign Tucker Addington to 53-man roster as Joe Cardona lands on injured reserve

A streak reached its end as the New England Patriots ruled out Joe Cardona on the final injury report leading up the Cincinnati Bengals matchup. A season has since reached its end, as well.

The Navy product was placed on injured reserve Friday due to a reported torn tendon in his foot. In corresponding moves, the organization has signed fellow long snapper Tucker Addington to the 53-man roster and elevated tight end Scotty Washington and kicker Tristan Vizcaino from the practice squad.

Cardona, 30, had appeared in all 140 games, including postseason, for New England since arriving in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft.
