Defensive lineman Joe Vellano of the New England Patriots was signed to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad on Saturday, the team announced.

To make room for Vallano, tight end Steve Maneri was released.

Vellano was released by the Patriots on Oct. 7 and signed to the practice squad on Oct. 8.

The 6-7, 280-pound Maneri, 26, was signed to the Patriots on Dec. 17, 2014, and played only in the season-finale against Buffalo on Dec. 28.
