The New England Patriots started the on-field preparation for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday, and they had a pair of new faces present at practice. While one remains a mystery for now, the other appears to be Brian Poole: according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have signed the veteran cornerback to their practice squad.
The move comes exactly one week after the team brought Poole in for a workout. The free agent initially left without signing a contract, though, and instead had another workout with the Houston Texans.
