Two more practice squad notes worth passing along on the Patriots:

•According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Patriots have added linebacker Jeff Tarpinian to the practice squad. The Patriots originally acquired the 6-foot-2, 235-pounder as an undrafted free agent signing following the 2011 draft. The Iowa product played in seven games last season, recording seven tackles.

•Wilson also reports that the Patriots will not bring wide receiver Kerry Taylor along to the practice squad. The 6-foot, 200-pounder, a rookie out of Arizona State, was picked up late last month as a free agent.
