Maybe not a gameday question...but sure would like to see him get some gameday experience this year.....it will pay dividends next year.
Was he on PUP or nonfootball related injury, and is there any difference in the rules if he was?A player that starts the regular season on PUP must sit out his team's first six games (which Cannon already did). After that point a team has three weeks to start having the player practice (which the Pats have done); once the player begins practicing, the team has another three weeks to put the player on the active roster. If the player is not activated by that time (or if he does not begin practicing within that three week window, which is not the case here) he must remain on the PUP list (or go on IR) for the remainder of the season.
With all that legalese out of the way, I believe the bottom line is that the Pats will not need to make a decision on Cannon until after the Jets game. Cannon started practicing on the October 25 if I'm not mistaken, which would make the deadline to activate him November 15.

Good point; it was NFI and not PUP. However, I am fairly certain the rules about the window to activate him once he began practicing are the same.
I dont think we need to open up a spot for him as ...we have needs in other areas..for any spots...so he stays on IR and BB figures who else to glue in there
Umm, I think he can at least take the inactive spot being "held down" by Donald Thomas. . . .
I would trade roster spots for those two in a heart beat.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
And there is still no hint as to wether Cannon is in or out for the rest of the year. I for one would like to see the deapth on the OL and have him get some reps this year.
He'll be on the roster.
The return date for Ventrone's playbook is tomorrow and he can't afford the late charges.
Having him on the active roster will help his development for next season. Having a young player in the pipeline with his potential bodes well for the future of the Pats OL ....Vollmer,Solder and Cannon give them 3 youngsters that can be a solid foundation in the near future.....Now if they can find Koppen's replacement they will be all set....Not sure DC is the long term answer to Center altho it looks like he's not a HUGE downgrade at the position...OL and depth should be set for the near future.....Matt Light can retire without leaving a huge hole....
Rebuilding on the go and still being at the top is a good sign....
