Patriots Re-Sign Vildor: Practice Squad Boosted
6 Nov
Summary
- Kindle Vildor re-signed to Patriots practice squad Thursday.
- This move provides immediate depth for the upcoming game.
- Vildor returns after being released from the active roster.
The New England Patriots have officially re-signed veteran cornerback Kindle Vildor to the 17-man practice squad. This decision was made on Thursday, just days after the team released him from the active 53-man roster. Vildor's return to Foxborough is intended to provide immediate depth ahead of the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers.
Vildor, a 28-year-old, brings valuable experience to the Patriots. He signed a one-year deal in March and has played in five games this fall, recording seven tackles and one forced fumble. His ability to step into a game without delay is critical as the schedule intensifies. He previously earned a game ball after a significant victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Patriots are focused on depth as the season progresses. Although they have a crowded cornerback room, Vildor fills a vacant spot and offers the reliability of a seasoned player. With 27 career starts and 85 NFL games played, his experience is seen as more beneficial than that of a rookie. This move ensures the team is better prepared for the Packers' passing attack when they visit Gillette Stadium on Sunday, November 8, with kickoff at 4:25 p.m. ET.
