FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Junior Seau signed with the New England Patriots on Friday, coming out of retirement again to help bolster his former team's injury-depleted defense.The 39-year-old linebacker takes the roster spot of Adalius Thomas, who was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season after breaking his left forearm Nov. 9 against Buffalo. The Patriots, 7-5 with an outside shot at the playoffs, also are without injured linebackers Eric Alexander and Pierre Woods.
Seau rejoined New England two days after linebacker Rosevelt Colvin also came back to the team. Neither has played this season.
Seau retired after last season after two years with the Patriots, who had lured him out of a brief retirement in August 2006. He also played 13 seasons for the San Diego Chargers and three with the Miami Dolphins.
Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowl player, had 76 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a career-high three interceptions in 19 games last season.
Marvin Demoff, Seau's agent, did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Friday.
Colvin, a nine-year veteran, spent five seasons with the Patriots before being released in February. He signed with the Houston Texans but was released in August.
