The Patriots have hired Giants defensive assistant Zak Kuhr, according to reports.

The New England Patriots have been busy over the last few weeks, as they've moved on from coaches and hired more to take their place. On Thursday, MassLive's Karen Guregian and Mark Daniels reported that the Patriots are hiring Zak Kuhr to join Mike Vrabel's staff.

Springer’s assistant, Tom Quinn, will be back in Foxborough, too. It’s not terribly surprising given Quinn was one of Mike Vrabel’s special teams coaches with the Titans, but his return hadn’t been reported until the Patriots coach revealed it on WBZ. Quinn joined New England’s staff last season.
