Patriots Make Four Moves, Place OT Marcus Cannon On IR

The team is also elevating OL Kody Russey and Lynn Bowden from the practice squad.

Cannon, 34, is a former fifth-round pick of the Patriots back in 2011. He was in the final year of his three-year, $9 million contract when the Patriots signed him to a five-year extension worth $32.5 million that included $14.5 million guaranteed.

New England traded Cannon to the Texans last year. However, Houston cut him loose back in March and he eventually returned to the Patriots on a practice squad deal. 

In 2022, Cannon has appeared in five games and made four starts at right tackle for the Patriots.
