The shuffling continued in Foxborough heading into Labor Day weekend.
The New England Patriots officially signed cornerback Corey Ballentine, linebacker Mark Robinson and defensive tackles Fabien Lovett and Cory Durden to the practice squad amid a series of moves on Thursday.
Ballentine, 29, was selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft at No. 180 overall. The 5-foot-11, 196-pound former Chris Harris Award winner out of Washburn has appeared in 69 games since then. A veteran of 11 starts in the secondary, Ballentine has also spent time with the New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers.
