FOXBOROUGH - Joseph Addai faced the Patriots five times while a member of the Colts, getting a close look at one of the best recent rivalries in the NFL. The running back’s most productive game came in 2007, when he rushed for 112 yards and added 114 receiving in a 24-20 Patriots win, part of their unbeaten regular season.

Now Addai is on the other side, joining the Patriots May 5 after the Colts cut him loose. He’ll welcome his former teammates in a game Nov. 18 at Gillette Stadium - assuming he’s on the team - and healthy.
