The New England Patriots have shifted offensive lineman Mike Onwenu to the injured reserve list as part of a series of roster adjustments heading into the third week of the professional football calendar. The team made the transaction following an incident where the guard was transported off the turf on a cart during the opening quarter of a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
