Patriots Lock Up Final 2 Spots On Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed two players to their practice squad, Tuesday night, to round out the 10-man unit.

Defensive backs Mike Hilton and Vinnie Sunseri were both added to the team's practice squad to fill the final two available spots, headed into Sunday night's season opener.

Hilton, an undrafted rookie out of Mississippi, spent the majority of the preseason with the Jacksonville Jaguars, prior to being cut on August 29.

Sunseri had been with the Patriots this preseason after signing with the team as a free agent back in July. A former fifth round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints, the Alabama product was released by the Pats on September 3, as part of the team's final set of cuts.

The other eight players on the practice squad were all confirmed Monday.
