The New England Patriots added another quarterback Friday by signing Will Grier to their 53-man roster from the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad.

Grier was present as Friday's practice and wore No. 19.

When asked about the reasoning behind bringing in Grier, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told reporters Friday, "Feel like we need depth at that position. Two quarterbacks. Long year."
