The New England Patriots filled the practice squad to its 16-man capacity on Sunday by announcing the signing of defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale.
Ekuale, 27, entered the NFL with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2018. The Washington State product has appeared 16 career games and recorded 17 tackles. Listed at 6-foot-3, 305-pounds, Ekuale began the 2020 season on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster before the calendar turned to October on the way to making five starts. His first career sack arrived in December against Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.
