With Sunday's Week Four matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers closing in on the horizon, the New England Patriots welcomed four specialists for workouts on Thursday. Kickers Riley Patterson and Brett Maher were among those invited to Gillette Stadium, as reported by Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus.
The workouts come on the heels of Patriots kicker Nick Folk having been limited in his practice participation both on Wednesday and Thursday. The 36 year-old was listed with a left knee injury. It should be noted that Folk kicks with his right leg. However, his injury could still cause difficulty in his motion and progression.
