The New England Patriots filled their initial 17-man practice squad Monday.
New England announced it signed linebackers Joe Giles-Harris and Yvandy Rigby to the practice squad.
Giles-Harris was on the Patriots practice squad last season and spent this summer fighting for a roster spot but was released as part of the 53-man cutdown.
Rigby was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted rookie free agent this offseason but was cut as part of the 53-man roster cutdown. The 24-year-old played 35 games during his career at Temple and accumulated 207 total tackles, six passes defended and one forced fumble.
