The New England Patriots made a series of moves on a short week Monday, ahead of their Thursday Night Football showdown against the New York Jets.
They announced they had signed veteran offensive guard Michael Jordan to the 53-man roster, along with the practice squad signings of rookie cornerback DJ James and safety Mark Perry.
To make room for the newest practice squad additions, the team released safety AJ Thomas and linebacker Yvandy Rigby.
Jordan signing to the main roster comes on the heels of the Patriots putting veteran offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor on the exempt/left squad list.
