Source -- Patriots to release kicker Mike Nugent
The New England Patriots are releasing kicker Mike Nugent, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Nugent was signed by the team on Oct. 3 to replace Stephen Gostkowski, who was put on injured reserve.
The 37-year-old Nugent was 5-of-8 on field goals and 15-of-16 on extra points. On Sunday, he missed a 34-yard field-goal attempt and had a 29-yard try blocked in the team's 27-13 win over Cleveland.
The Patriots will likely re-enter the market for a place kicker, as they don't have another on the roster.
