The Pats showed interest after Lake went undrafted last April.
The signing is reportedly for the practice squad, but the NFL's COVID-19 rules have led to a number of practice squad elevations taking place during the season.
Lake, 23, went undrafted in April's draft after starting 42 games at BYU. Lake recorded seven interceptions, two sacks, and 149 tackles during his collegiate career.
Lake signed with the Rams after the draft but was waived when the team made its final cuts in early September. The Patriots worked out Lake on Monday.
