The Patriots made a shocking move on Sunday, claiming Khyri Thornton off waivers. Thornton was previously a 3rd round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2014, but a hamstring injury ruined his rookie campaign. In 2015, the Packers felt that Thornton was not going to be a big part of their future plans or they thought they could outsmart everyone and sneak him onto their practice squad. The former Southern Mississippi defensive tackle is now on the Patriots roster, where he'll likely be competing for a 46-man roster spot since the Patriots already have four solid options on the interior in Sealver Siliga, Alan Branch, Dominique Easley, and Malcom Brown.
