The New England Patriots finally have a full 10-man practice squad.
The Patriots signed linebacker Deontae Skinner and cornerbacks Justin Green and Daxton Swanson to their practice squad Wednesday. The team had three open spots on its scout team.
Skinner, 24, has bounced on and off the Patriots’ 53-man roster and practice squad this season. The rookie played seven games with one start, recording 10 tackles, before being released Oct. 29. Skinner was released from the practice squad with Swanson last Wednesday.
Swanson, 23, is a second-year player out of Sam Houston State who has spent most of the season on the Patriots’ practice squad. Swanson was a standout in Patriots OTAs and minicamp.
Green, 23, played in two regular-season games with the Patriots last season but spent most of the year on the practice squad as a rookie. He was traded by the Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 15 for defensive tackle Ben Bass. Green was released by the Cowboys on Sept. 1.
