The shuffling of the weapons for quarterback Tom Brady continues in New England.

First, the Patriots signed Kellen Winslow on Tuesday after losing tight end Aaron Hernandez for several weeks with a knee injury. Now, wide receiver Deion Branch, long a favorite target of Brady's, is heading back to New England for another tour of duty with the Patriots, according to the Boston Herald.

Branch was released by the Patriots in final cuts, but curiously his locker plate was never removed in the New England locker room, leading to speculation that he would eventually be back.
