FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The New England Patriots have signed 39-year-old linebacker Junior Seau to replace Adalius Thomas.

Seau is a 19-year veteran and 12-time Pro Bowl player. He played 27 games for the Patriots the last two seasons but hasn't been with a team this season.

Thomas will miss the rest of the season because of an arm injury and was placed on injured reserve Friday. The Patriots also are without injured linebackers Eric Alexander and Pierre Woods

Insider linebacker Tedy Bruschi has been limited in practice recently by a knee injury.

Agent Marvin Demoff told The Boston Herald that coach Bill Belichick called Seau on Wednesday and the player arrived in Foxborough on Thursday afternoon.

Demoff said Seau has fully recovered from offseason surgery on a torn rotator cuff and had told the agent that the Patriots were the only team he would consider joining..

The Patriots signed another veteran, Rosevelt Colvin, on Wednesday. Colvin was cut by the Texans before the season.
