Bernard and Blidi are both undrafted rookies who signed with the Tennessee Titans on May 8.
The 5-foot-10, 206-pound Bernard was a productive running back at Utah during his college career, playing in 47 games. He was cut on June 2 by Tennessee.
Meanwhile, the 6-foot-3, 297-pound Blidi played for Texas Tech, Indiana and then Auburn in college. He was released by the Titans on Sunday.
The two signings give the Patriots some depth at positions that have been thinned out due to injury.
Second-year running back Terrell Jennings has been absent from practice recently. Meanwhile, defensive lineman Isaiah Iton was recently placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
