While preparing for their Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans, the New England Patriots have made some roster moves.

Along with signing center Ben Brown to the 53-man roster, New England also released defensive lineman Trysten Hill from the practice squad.

Hill was originally a second-round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in 2019 out of Central Florida. He also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns before joining the Patriots last year. He appeared in three games with New England over the last two seasons.

The Patriots still have some depth on the defensive line as they have Davon Godchaux, Daniel Ekuale, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Eric Johnson II and Jacquelin Roy.
