The Patriots released veteran kicker Nick Folk and rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser, the team announced Saturday.
When reports surfaced that Rohrwasser, a 2020 fifth-round selection, was released, the consensus was that Folk would likely re-inherit the starting spot he held for part of last season. Later, however, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reported that the team also released Folk.
Howe said it’s possible Folk could return in the coming days, and he noted there’s “a lot of other activity on the docket” this weekend.
It's also conceivable Folk could return in the coming days, pending other transactions.
