Patriots Fill Initial Practice Squad With Two More Signings

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.

Here is the breakdown of the Patriots' 17-man practice squad; Jotham Russell is an international exemption.
