The Giants took a chance on defensive tackle Mike Patterson, and now they’re giving him another one.

The veteran defensive tackle was brought back, the team announced, along with the previously reported deal for cornerback Zack Bowman.

Patterson’s perhaps best known for his seizure while with the Eagles in 2011, but he bounced back with the Giants last year and was a solid rotational player.

Hanging onto him gives them some depth up front, at a time when they’re re-working their defense at several levels.
