FOXBORO -- The Patriots are adding a familiar face back to their locker room. The team announced on Tuesday night that it has claimed offensive lineman Chris Martin off of waivers.
Martin was an undrafted rookie last season who was originally signed by the Patriots on June 23, 2014. New England then released the 6-foot-5, 305-pounder on Aug. 30 and signed him to the practice squad on Sept. 1. He was released on Sept. 26, but signed with the practice squad again on Oct. 8 and lasted until Oct. 13.
Martin spent the majority of this year's camp with the Dolphins but was released on Sunday.
