The Patriots added some offensive line depth Sunday by trading for Atlanta Falcons offensive lineman Quinn Ojinnaka in a trade.

According to FoxSports.com's Adam Caplan, the Patriots acquired the 6-foot-5, 299-pound lineman from the Falcons for undisclosed compensation.

The 26-year-old played in nine games last season for Atlanta, starting five of them.

Ojinnaka, who can play both guard and tackle, is entering his fifth season in the NFL. His versatility may be useful for a Patriots offensive line that is missing guards Logan Mankins and perhaps Nick Kaczur, who may miss the season following a back injury.
