Practice squad move

The Patriots announced that they have signed cornerback Antwain Spann to their practice squad today.

Additionally, the team released cornerback Gemara Williams from the practice squad and placed tight end Jason Rader on the practice squad reserve/injured list.

A bit from the press release on Spann:

Spann, 24, was originally signed by the Patriots as a free agent on Jan. 19, 2006. Last season, he was signed from the Patriots practice squad to the active roster on three occasions and saw action in eight games. The 6-foot, 195-pound cornerback notched six special teams tackles on coverage units in 2006. The Louisiana-Lafayette product was released by the Patriots on July 19, 2007.
