The Pats officially announced their 10-man practice squad. The members include: OL Chris Barker, OL Blaine Clausell, TE Asante Cleveland, LB Xzavier Dickson, LB Darius Fleming, LB Brandon King, WR Nathan Palmer, DT Jimmy Staten, DB Daxton Swanson and WR Kenbrell Thompkins.
All of those players with the exception of Clausell, Palmer, Staten and Thompkins were with the team for at least part of the preseason. Thompkins spent the 2013 season and part of the 2014 season with the Patriots before being claimed off waivers by Oakland, where he finished the year.
Clausell, 23, entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Baltimore out of Mississippi State.
