The Patriots will turn to their fourth kicker of the season, as they signed veteran Kai Forbath, according to a league source.
Forbath, 32, went undrafted in 2011 but still found a place in the league. The UCLA product signed with the Washington Redskins, setting the record for consecutive field goals to start an NFL career with 17 in a row. He finished his tenure with the Redskins as the second-most accurate kicker in franchise history, making 60 of his 69 field-goal attempts.
Forbath went on to kick for the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and Jacksonville Jaguars.
