Ominous signing as it relates to the walking wounded D-Lineman.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots have made a one-for-one swap on the defensive line, signing free-agent Landon Cohen with the roster spot creating by releasing Louis Leonard.
Cohen (6-foot-3, 300 pounds) worked out for the Patriots this week. He entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft choice of the Detroit Lions in 2008 after playing at Ohio. As a rookie, he played in six games, and then followed that up by playing 14 games (4 starts) his second season.
The Lions waived Cohen at the final roster cutdown at the end of training camp this year, and the Jaguars claimed him. Cohen appeared in two games for the Jaguars before he was released in early November.
Over his two-plus year career, Cohen has played in 22 NFL games and accumulated 26 total tackles.
With yesterday's news that the Patriots had waived Leonard, one line of thinking was that it could have been a reflection of improvement by injured linemen Mike Wright (concussion), Ron Brace (concussion) and Myron Pryor (back). But with Cohen coming aboard, it clouds that line of thinking.
