FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots signed LB Bruce Davis to the practice squad today. New England had an open spot on the eight-man practice squad after LB Prescott Burgess was signed from the practice squad to the Baltimore 53-man roster.
Davis, 6-3, 252 pounds, was originally a third-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers out of UCLA in 2008. He saw action in five games as a rookie last season in Pittsburgh as a contributor on special teams. Davis was waived by Pittsburgh on September 5, 2009.
