Patriots sign former Steelers second-round pick Sean Davis to practice squad

The Patriots signed safety Sean Davis, a former Steelers second-round pick, to their practice squad Wednesday, according to the NFL Network.

After four years in Pittsburgh, Davis signed with the Colts last spring as a free agent, then got cut after their season opener. The Bengals added Davis to their practice squad days later, and he appeared in two games before again being released. Davis  entered the league as a second-round pick out of Maryland in 2016 and started 42 of 68 possible games in Pittsburgh.

He worked out for the Patriots on Tuesday.

For his career, Davis has recorded 259 tackles, five interceptions and one forced fumble, all with the Steelers. He joins Elijah Benton, D’Angelo Ross and Myles Bryant as available defensive backs on the Pats’ practice squad. Bryant has been elevated to the active roster each of the past two games.
