The Patriots announced a series of roster moves on Friday.
They signed tackle Kellen Diesch and safety A.J. Thomas to their 90-man roster. Tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. and running back Deshaun Fenwick were released in corresponding moves.
Diesch has spent time with the Dolphins, Bears, Steelers, and Browns over the last two years, but has not seen any regular season action. Thomas played six games for the Bears over the last two seasons and had three interceptions in the UFL this year.
Wheatley played two games for the Patriots last season after being acquired in a trade with the Browns, but then landed on injured reserve. Fenwick was signed as an undrafted free agent this year.
