The Patriots have signed undrafted rookie defensive lineman Justus Tavai, the team announced Friday.

Tavai, who played at San Diego State last season, recently participated in the Patriots’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. The 24-year-old is the younger brother of Pats linebacker Jahlani Tavai. He stands at 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds and fills the roster spot vacated by offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste, who was released Thursday.

Tavai posted 3.5 sacks and 38 tackles last season. He spent the previous four years at Hawaii, where he recorded 72 tackles and four sacks. Tavai started his career at El Camino College in 2017.

He joins Davon Godchaux, Deatrich Wise, Christian Barmore, Lawrence Guy, Daniel Ekuale, Carl Davis and Sam Roberts on the defensive line depth chart.
