The Patriots could be making some more roster moves ahead of their season-opening matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Rookie Quinn Nordin is the only kicker on the Patriots’ 53-man roster even after having a shaky performance in the preseason. Veteran Nick Folk, who kicked for the Patriots last season, is currently on the practice squad.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked Friday if he’d elevate Folk to the 53-man roster prior to Sunday’s game. Belichick didn’t shut down the possibility.
“I think there’s a lot of merit to it,” Belichick said. “That’s why he’s on the practice squad, and, as all the players are, with the two standard activations that teams are allowed to have, that’s a lot different than it was going back to ‘19 where it was a whole different set of rules.
