The New England Patriots will roll with Nick Folk to begin the season.
The team had two kickers on the practice squad but none on the active roster before promoting the former Arizona Wildcat on Saturday in advance of Sunday’s season opener against the Miami Dolphins.
Folk, 35, was competing with rookie and fifth-round pick Justin Rohrwasser for the job.
Transactions: The #Patriots promote K Nick Folk to the 53-man roster; The Jets signed QB Mike White to their active roster; The #49ers placed WR Deebo Samuel on IR, and they’re hopeful he’ll play in Week 4; The #Bears activated K Cairo Santos.
