Patriots practice squad tracker: Latest news, rumors and signings originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The New England Patriots trimmed down their roster to 53 players by Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, but building out the initial practice squad for the upcoming NFL season remains a work in progress.

The Patriots announced their first seven practice squad signings Wednesday afternoon. All of them took part in Patriots training camp this summer.

A practice squad can have a maximum of 16 players, so we should expect more additions in the coming days and weeks.
