Patriots promote K Nick Foles onto the active roster ahead of Week 1

The New England Patriots have their kicker for Sunday’s game against Miami. Nick Folk is being promoted to the active roster as reported by Mike Reiss.

There was some intrigue as to why the Patriots did not elect to have a kicker on their roster. For now, the situation appears set. According to new rules, teams can promote two players per week from the practice squad to the main roster. They can also send players to the practice squad two times without placing them on waivers.

Folk recorded five-of-five made field goal attempts in addition to 12-of-12 extra points in 2019 for New England.
