Patriots sign DL Forston from practice squad

The New England Patriots announced Saturday that they signed rookie defensive lineman Marcus Forston from the practice squad.

Forston takes tight end Rob Gronkowski's spot on the 53-man roster. Gronkowski was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.

New England hosts the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC title game on Sunday.

Forston, 22, was on the practice squad since Sept. 28.
