The Patriots re-signed a pair offensive linemen to fill out their 90-man roster.

Undrafted rookie offensive lineman Matt Stankiewitch and rookie long snapper Mike Zupancic were re-signed by the team ahead of practice on Monday, Bill Belichick said at his press conference on Monday morning.

Stankiewitch was originally signed by the team on May 3 after going undrafted out of Penn State. He was released on July 25 after being placed on the non-football injury list just ahead of the start of training camp.

Zupancic, who was a standout at Eastern Michigan, was also signed by the team on May 3. He competed with veteran long snapper Danny Aiken in camp but was released on Aug. 2.

The Patriots need as much depth as possible as they prepare to travel to Philadelphia for their first preseason game on Friday night.
