Patriots' Jack Westover: Signed to Patriots' active roster
Rotowire
New England signed Westover from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.
Westover signed with the Patriots' practice squad in early October after being waived by the Seahawks in late August with an injury settlement due to an undisclosed issue. The undrafted free agent out of Washington was elevated to the Patriots' active roster twice and played mostly on special teams. Assuming he's active for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills, Westover will provide depth at the tight end position behind Hunter Henry (foot), Austin Hooper and Jaheim Bell.

Jack Westover: Let go with injury settlement
Rotowire
The Seahawks waived Westover (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Westover signed with the Seahawks in April as an undrafted free agent. The Washington product played in the preseason opener against the Chargers on Aug. 10, but his unspecified injury kept him out of the following two exhibition contests.
