Patriots Sign CB Jason Webster

After suffering several injuries throughout the season that have resulted in a mass scrambling of players in and out of positions and games like a jigsaw puzzle, the New England Patriots have been trying to rebuild their lineup for a more cushiony secondary. This week, after rookie linebacker Shawn Crable was placed on the injured reserve list with a shin injury, the Patriots have signed eight-year veteran cornerback Jason Webster back onto their roster.

Webster, a 31-year-old veteran in the NFL, most recently played with the Buffalo Bills, whom the Patriots will take on this Sunday in Week 10. The 5-foot-9, 187-pound Webster signed with New England this year in the off season but was cut after the team’s training camp. Originally out of Texas A&M, Webster was drafted by San Francisco in 2000 and played for the 49ers until the end of the ’03 season, thereafter becoming an Atlanta Falcon from 2004-06. Webster was traded to the Bills in 2007, and will now wear the number 23 jersey for the New England Patriots. The cornerback brings to New England 11 career interceptions, and the Patriots hope he’ll add depth to the team, as well.
