Rookie kicker Quinn Nordin cleared waivers and is expected to continue with the New England Patriots on the practice squad, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.
The 23-year-old Michigan product had his 21-day return window open on Tuesday prior to being placed on waivers amid a series of transactions on Wednesday.
Nordin made New England’s initial 53-man roster following a preseason in which he went 6-of-8 on field goals and 4-of-7 on extra points with longs of 48 and 50 yards. Inactive for September’s season opener against the Miami Dolphins, the undrafted arrival was subsequently moved injured reserve due to an abdomen issue.
