Practice squad transactions

The Patriots added two players and subtracted one from their practice squad today, signing center Pat Ross and cornerback Tim Mixon. Defensive lineman Zach West was cut.

Ross' signing could raise eyebrows because Dan Koppen missed Sunday's game with an ankle injury, and Ross' arrival may be a sign that Koppen will be out for a longer amount of time. Russ Hochstein started at center against Cleveland.

Ross, like Koppen, played at Boston College -- he took over the job after Koppen graduated; he spent all of last year on Seattle's practice squad.

Mixon, an undrafted rookie from Cal, is a 5-foot-9, 184 pound corner; he has spent time with the Bears and Browns.
