Practice squad transactions

Hey all --

The Patriots have made some practice squad moves, re-signing (actually, re-re-re-signing) cornerback Antowain Spann, while releasing Gemara Williams from practice squad and placing tight end Jason Rader on practice squad IR.

The 6-foot, 195-pound, 24-year old Spann was released just before the start of training camp. The former Louisiana-Lafayette standout had three stints on the 53-man roster last year. He played in eight games, making six special teams tackles.

League rules mandate that players who played in more than nine regular-season games last year no longer qualify for practice squad, so Spann was just under the number.

Williams also has been bounced about -- he spent last year on injured reserve, was cut in August and then signed to the practice squad on Sept. 12.

Rader was signed to New England's practice squad Sept. 3; he spent last year between the Dolphins' active and practice rosters.
