New England signed cornerback Chidi Iwuoma

New England signed cornerback Chidi Iwuoma on Wednesday to provide depth in the injury-riddled secondary. Iwuoma was released Sept. 6 after spending the past four seasons with Pittsburgh. He was with Detroit for one season before that. Last season he was one of the special teams captains for the Steelers.

The Patriots are expected to be without starting cornerback Ellis Hobbs (broken wrist) for a second straight game Sunday against Miami. Starting safety Eugene Wilson (hamstring) missed last Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

New England also has four defensive backs on injured reserve: safeties Tebucky Jones and Mel Mitchell, and cornerbacks Randall Gay and Gemara Williams.
