Move over Alex Verdugo, there’s another No. 99 in New England. Jamie Collins will wear a brand new number after agreeing to a deal with the Patriots this week.

The veteran linebacker will be joining the Patriots for the fourth time. The 32-year-old will be added to the team’s practice squad.

For those updating Patriots rosters at home, which includes the practice squad, please add LB Jamie Collins as No. 99.

Collins will help with the Patriots run defense which has been abysmal the last two weeks.

Over the course of his career, Collins has appeared in 122 regular-season games (104 starts) and has been credited with 706 tackles, 19 forced fumbles and 12 interceptions.

To make room for the 6-foot-3 linebacker, the Patriots released Harvey Langi from the practice squad.
