FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots plan to sign veteran kicker Mike Nugent after placing Stephen Gostkowski on injured reserve, league sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Nugent, 37, was one of seven kickers the Patriots worked out over the last two days.
He is 253 of 311 on field goal attempts in his career, having kicked for the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders.
Nugent, who has appeared in five playoff games, was the most experienced kicker to work out with the Patriots.
