Quarterback isn’t the only position where the Patriots appear to have a competition for the starting job.
According to coach Bill Belichick, the role is also open at kicker.
“We’ll see how it goes,” Belichick said Wednesday. “That will be up to them to decide.”
The Patriots have two kickers on their roster: fifth-round pick Justin Rohrwasser and 35-year-old Nick Folk.
The team signed Folk on Sunday, prompting some to wonder whether the move was in response to Rohrwasser’s performance. The Athletic‘s Jeff Howe also reported Rohrwasser was “dealing with an injury,” which explains why he didn’t attempt any live field goals all last week.
