The New England Patriots are fine-tuning their roster until the very end of the 2020 season.
The Patriots have signed defensive back Dee Virgin, the team announced Friday.
The 27-year-old signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent out of West Alabama (Malcolm Butler's alma mater) in 2017. He joined the Lions in 2018 and appeared in 21 games for Detroit over the course of three seasons, mostly seeing time on special teams.
Virgin signed with the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad on Dec. 22 after the Lions released him on Dec.
