Patriots DB Lockett on IR, DL Adams activated

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have activated defensive lineman Titus Adams from their practice squad and placed defensive back Bret Lockett on season-ending injured reserve with a groin injury.

They also announced Wednesday the signings of quarterback Jeff Rowe and wide receiver Darnell Jenkins to the practice squad.

Adams was a seventh-round draft choice by the New York Jets out of Nebraska in 2006. He spent all last season and this season on the Patriots practice squad. Lockett played in 10 games for the Patriots, mostly on special teams.

Rowe was waived by the Seattle Seahawks before this year's regular season. Jenkins was on the practice squads of the Texans and Cleveland Browns this year.
