Patriots Rumors: Marcus Cannon needs big improvement to play Week 2

Recent New England Patriots rumors involve offensive lineman and starting right tackle, Marcus Cannon. The Patriots have been hit hard by injuries at running back and wide receiver, and now the offensive line is suffering from injuries as well.

Cannon played through a leg injury in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. However, he was not near full strength. Cannon played only 46 out of 75 offensive snaps, equaling out to 61 percent. LaAdrian Waddle played 39 percent of the snaps, as he was on the field for 29 plays.

While he battled through Week 1, it sounds like New England may not have him at all in Week 2.
