The practice squad has returned to its limit for the New England Patriots.
The organization signed cornerback William Hooper on Wednesday, according to the NFL transaction wire.
Hooper, 23, went undrafted out of Northwestern State and joined the Green Bay Packers following a tryout at rookie minicamp in May. The FCS product was part of the 53-man cutdown in August after appearing in all three preseason games. Pro Football Focus charted his coverage for a 4-of-10 passing line with 30 yards against a pair of deflections.
During his five years with the Demons, Hooper started 33 of his 46 appearances.
