Patriots Fill Final Practice Squad Spot By Signing Cornerback

The New England Patriots now have a full practice squad after making a couple additions Wednesday.

The Patriots not only signed former Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book, who played in college against Mac Jones, but also added little-known cornerback William Hooper. Hooper is the 16th member of the team’s practice squad.

Hooper, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Northwestern State, spent the summer with the Green Bay Packers, which offered the Patriots a glimpse of him when the two sides held joint practices and a preseason game in August.

The 23-year-old recorded just one tackle in the exhibition matchup against the Patriots.
