The New England Patriots announced the signings of safety Vinnie Sunseri and offensive lineman Kyler Kerbyson on Sunday.

Sunseri was a fifth-round selection by the New Orleans Saints in 2014. He appeared in nine games for New Orleans before being released by the Saints in April. He recorded five tackles - four on special teams, one on defense - before an arm injury landed him on injured reserve.

A knee injury last year led the Saints to waive Sunseri and he spent all of last season on injured reserve after clearing waivers.

Kerbyson went undrafted after starting two seasons at the University of Tennessee. He’s played both tackle positions and left guard during his tenure with Tennessee.

After the signings, the Patriots still have one open spot on their 90-man roster.
