FOXBORO -- What could be gleaned from Patriots practice attendance was confirmed by the team: Rookie defensive tackle Marcus Forston was signed to, and safety Cyhl Quarles was released from, the practice squad Friday.
Forston was released just Wednesday. The 22-year old originally came in as a rookie free agent in May of 2012. He was inactive for the first two games of the regular season and made his debut on defense and special teams Sunday against Baltimore.
Quarles, released by the Ravens in August, didn't get any game snaps for New England.
