Marcus Forston, Justin Green re-signed by New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have re-signed defensive lineman Marcus Forston and defensive tackle Justin Green to their practice squad.

Both players were cut from the roster on Tuesday but have returned to the practice squad, according to the club's official website.

"The Patriots announced they have re-signed DL Marcus Forston and DB Justin Green to the practice squad," a statement read.

Forston has three tackles for the season to date and Green was signed earlier in the summer as an undrafted free agent.
