Pats moves
The Patriots announced the signing of defensive back James Patrick and punter Tom Malone to their practice squad today. Patrick begins his second stint on the practice squad, while the 22-year-old Malone was orginally signed as a rookie free agent by the 49ers on May 5. He was released by the 49ers on June 29. Malone punted for the University of Southern California from 2002-2005, where he recorded a 44-yard career average and placed 95 of his 185 career punts inside the 20 yard-line. Malone was a two-time semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's top punter, and set a school record in 2003 by averaging 49 yards per punt.

Patrick was initially signed to the Patriots' practice squad on Nov. 1 and was released Dec. 12.

Why not just bring back Gus Scott?

I agree. Perhaps he balked at signing with the PS again, in the (fruitless?) hope that he can land a 53-man gig.
