Tristan Vizcaino successfully parlayed his minicamp tryout into a New England Patriots roster spot.
Two days after wrapping up mandatory minicamp, the Patriots on Friday signed Vizcaino to their 90-man roster and released kicker Quinn Nordin.
The 25-year-old Vizcaino worked out for the Patriots earlier this week and then attended their minicamp on a tryout basis. He kicked in six games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season, going 6-for-7 on field-goal attempts with a long of 46 yards and 10-for-15 on extra points.
Vizcaino, who’s also spent time with Cincinnati, Dallas, Minnesota, San Francisco and Buffalo, will compete with veteran incumbent Nick Folk in training camp.
