  • Converts pair of field goals

    Folk made two field goals in Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: For a second straight week, Folk made two field goals but didn't attempt an extra point. The New England offense's sudden turn toward lethargy instead of the high-powered attack we witnessed over the first three weeks hasn't affected Folk too much, as he's connected on five field goals, including four from beyond 40 yards, over the last three games. However, that could be his ceiling, especially in games where the Patriots start trailing quickly. Folk carries some risk as a result, but he…read more

  • Drills both field goals

    Folk made both field-goal attempts in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Folk missed two field goals over the first two weeks, but he's been perfect over the last three games, connecting on six field goals. On Sunday, he hit kicks from 38 and 41 yards. Folk's season long is from 43 yards, but he's made every attempt from within 40 yards. Next week, the Patriots will play the 49ers, which have allowed just 21.5 points per game; however, Folk could see some extra opportunities since they've allowed the third-lowest red-zone success rate (46.7 percent) in the NFL.

  • Makes both kicks

    Folk made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Monday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Folk was only provided two scoring opportunities and capitalized on them both, with his field goal coming from 43 yards. Although he only produced four points, Folk can be pleased by Monday marking his first outing without a miss this season, giving him some positive momentum ahead of Week 5's game against the Broncos.

  • Accounts for 12 points

    Folk made three field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: All of Folk's field goals came from within 40 yards, but it's a good sign that he was perfect from that range considering he's missed both field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season. The missed extra point didn't have an effect on the final score, but he'll need to clean that up before Week 4's matchup versus the Chiefs.

  • Misses long field goal

    Folk made two of three field goals and all three extra points in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Folk sent a 51-yard field goal wide left late in the second quarter, a miss that had reprecussions on the final score. This comes after Folk misfired ona 45-yard attempt in Week 1. However, coach Bill Belichick reiterated Monday that "[Folk] is our kicker," according to Doug Kyed of NESN.com. Expect the veteran to be in the lineup for Week 3's showdown against the Raiders, but his leash could be getting shorter with rookie fifth-round pick Justin Rohrwasser on the practice squad.

  • Added to 53-man roster

    Folk was officially added to the Patriots' 53-man roster Tuesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: He was promoted from the practice squad for the team's opener and although Folk missed his lone field-goal attempt, a 45-yarder, in Week 1's win over the Dolphins, the team is satisfied with the veteran kicker and will retain him on the active roster. Rookie fifth-rounder Justin Rohrwasser is still on the practice squad in case Folk slips up, but moving forward, Folk will be the Patriots' kicker.

  • Back with practice squad

    The Patriots have sent Folk back to their practice squad, Nick O'Malley of masslive.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran kicker had been elevated to the team's 53-man roster in advance of Week 1 and kicked Sunday against the Dolphins, missing his only field-goal attempt (from 45 yards) and hitting three extra points. Folk now joins rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser back on the expanded 2020 practice squad, with one of the two presumably in line to be promoted before Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

  • Taking over as starter

    Folk was elevated from the practice squad and will start Sunday against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Bill Belichick seems to have made a decision in regard to his starting kicker. Folk was in contention with Justin Rohrwasser for the starting job during the summer, only for both of them to be cut following the 53-man roster deadline last weekend. It's possible the Patriots could continue to use the additional two roster spaces this year to continually juggle the position week in and week out, but at least for Week 1, it's Folk's job to lose.

  • Stuck in ambiguous situation

    Head coach Bill Belichick hasn't named a starting kicker for Week 1, Chris Mason of MassLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots cut both Nick Folk and rookie Justin Rohrwasser on Saturday, keeping no kickers on their final 53-man roster. Belichick believes both are capable NFL kickers, but Folk should be considered the favorite to begin the year, as he played seven games for the Patriots last season and converted on 14 of 17 field goals (82 percent) and all 12 extra points. The team will promote one to the active roster for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

  • Joins practice squad

    Folk signed to New England's practice squad Sunday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: Folk and Justin Rohrwasser both competed for the Patriots' starting kicker gig in training camp, were cut Saturday, and have now joined the team's practice squad. It looks as though competition between the two will resume, and it wouldn't be surprising if one of them was activated ahead of Sept. 13's season-opener against Miami.

  • Patriots let go both kickers

    Updating a previous report, Zack Cox of NESN.com relays that the Patriots plan to cut both Folk and Justin Rohrwasser.

    Analysis: When reports that Rohrwasser would be let go initially came out, it looked safe to assume that Folk had secured the job, but it now looks like Patriots have different plans. With that in mind, Doug Kyed of NESN.com suggests that it's possible the Patriots might bring Folk back later or alternatively sign a free-agent kicker now that NFL cut-downs have transpired.

  • Lands kicking job

    With Justin Rohrwasser slated to be waived, Folk heads into Week 1 as the Patriots' kicker, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rohrwasser was a fifth-round draft pick, but that didn't prevent the Patriots from turning to Folk, who spent time with the team last season. Rohrwasser is thus a practice squad candidate, while Folk will now kick behind a New England offense headed by new QB Cam Newton.

  • Appears to have edge

    Folk could be named the Patriots' kicker after rookie Justin Rohrwasser struggled during training camp, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.

    Analysis: Folk finished last year with New England, making 14 of 17 field goals and all 12 of his extra points in seven games following long-time kicker Stephen Gostkowski's season-ending hip injury. With Gostkowski now in Tennessee, the Patriots selected Rohrwasser in the fifth round of this year's draft, but they also re-signed Folk in the wake of inconsistency from the rookie during camp. After making 86 percent of his kicks over the team's final five sessions, Folk emerged as the favorite over…read more

  • Records 54 points in seven games

    Folk made 14 of his 17 field-goal attempts and all 12 of his extra-point tries, en route to logging 54 points in seven games for the Patriots during the 2019 regular season.

    Analysis: The 35-year-old, who didn't kick in the NFL in 2018, was one of four kickers used by the Patriots this past year in the wake of Stephen Gostkowski's campaign-ending hip injury. Folk will remain remain the team's kicker during the team's postseason run, but by the time next season rolls around, Gostkowski -- who is under contract through 2020 -- should be ready to reclaim the job that he assumed back in 2006.

  • Converts all four kicks

    Folk made all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt during Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Folk continued his strong campaign for New England by converting from 20, 36 and 51 yards in the pivotal divisional matchup. The 35-year-old is 13-for-16 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in six games, though two of those misses came from 40-plus yards in brutal weather Week 12.

  • Impressive in win

    Folk made two field goals and four extra points in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Folk didn't miss Sunday, as he converted field goals from 40 and 46 yards. After missing three kicks over the previous two weeks, this is a good sign for Folk, who tightened his grasp on the starting placekicker role. The Patriots host the Bills in Week 16.

  • Has kick blocked in return

    Folk connected on one of two field goals and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: After undergoing an emergency appendectomy and sitting out Week 13, Folk returned as the Patriots' starting kicker in this outing. The veteran converted on a 29-yard try but had a 41-yarder blocked in the first quarter. It's on to Cincinnati, and Folk should have plenty of opportunities to bounce back against the league's 23rd-ranked defense (25.8 points allowed per game).

  • Starting kicker against Chiefs

    Folk will be the Patriots' starting kicker for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.

    Analysis: Folk didn't play in Week 13's loss to the Texans after undergoing an appendectomy, but his replacement -- Kai Forbath -- didn't perform well in Folk's stead. As a result, Folk will resume his duties. The 35-year-old has connected on seven of nine field-goal tries this year with his only misses coming during brutal conditions Week 12 versus Dallas.

  • Re-ups with Patriots

    Folk (abdomen) re-signed with the Patriots on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Folk, who underwent an appendectomy nine days ago and was subsequently released, will rejoin the Patriots in a move that was foreshadowed by the team's decision not to carry a kicker on its active roster as of Friday. Folk went 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts in his three-week stink with the Patriots in early November.

  • Expected to re-sign after workout

    Folk (abdomen) worked out for the Patriots on Friday and is expected to re-sign with the team and serve as their kicker Week 14 versus the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though coach Bill Belichick was non-committal Friday when asked if Folk would be brought back following his release a week earlier, the Patriots apparently were satisfied with the veteran kicker's health following his recent appendectomy. New England will likely officially announce Folk's re-signing at some point prior to Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for Week 14 transactions. Prior to his release after he required the emergency procedure, Folk had converted seven of nine field-goal attempts…read more

  • Uncertain to rejoin New England

    Folk (abdomen) has yet to receive medical clearance to resume kicking and may not be ready to sign with the Patriots in advance of their Week 14 game against the Chiefs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Friday that Folk was in line to re-sign with New England after the team waived him last week when he required an appendectomy, but Rapoport backed down on that initial report shortly thereafter. Apparently, Folk was slated to kick Friday as a test of his health, but the Patriots ultimately concluded the day without a kicker on their roster, per Nora Princiotti of The Boston Globe. New England will have until Saturday at 4 p.m. ET to add a kicker to…read more

  • Poised to rejoin New England

    The Patriots are expected to re-sign Folk (abdomen) ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: New England cut Folk last week after he required an emergency appendectomy that would have made him unavailable for the team's eventual loss to the Texans, but the veteran kicker has apparently since recovered from the procedure. He'll presumably be added to the 53-man roster prior to Saturday's deadline as the replacement for Kai Forbath, who was released after a one-week stint with the team. Folk previously kicked in three games for New England, going 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts while…read more

  • Released by Patriots

    The Patriots released Folk (abdomen) on Friday.

    Analysis: Folk is unable to kick Sunday against the Texans after undergoing an appendectomy, so the Patriots removed him from the roster entirely and replaced him with Kai Forbath. Folk isn't expected to require a lengthy recovery, so the Patriots could decide to bring him back once he's 100 percent healthy.

  • Won't kick Sunday

    Folk (appendectomy) will not be available for Sunday night's game against the Texans, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

    Analysis: While Folk won't be able to kick this weekend, his absence is not expected to be a lengthy one. Per Reiss, the Patriots must now decide whether to sign another kicker in advance of Week 13 action, or alternatively, employ punter Jake Bailey as a short-term replacement for Folk.

  • Reportedly undergoes appendectomy

    Folk recently underwent an appendectomy that is expected to sideline him Sunday against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: We'll await official confirmation from the team, while Rapoport notes that Folk's expected absence isn't likely to be lengthy, given that his procedure was reportedly minimally invasive. Either way, it looks like the Patriots will be on to their fourth kicker of the season when they face Houston on Sunday.

  • Struggles in harsh weather

    Folk made two of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: It was raining sideways in Foxborough on Sunday, so it was as tough on kickers as it was for quarterbacks. Folk still managed to drill field goals from 42 and 44 yards, but he missed two tries from beyond 40 as well. Leading up to this contest, Folk was a perfect 5-for-5, so he'll look to get back on track in Houston's dome stadium Week 13.

  • Another perfect outing

    Folk made all three field-goal attempts during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Folk had three field-goal tries during the second quarter of Sunday's contest, and he took full advantage of New England's offense struggling to close out drives. The Patriots can be trusted to reliably provide scoring opportunities, making Folk a viable weekly fantasy option, but it's worth noting that the 34-year-old has yet to attempt a kick from 40 yards out or further this season.

  • Perfect in Patriots debut

    Folk made both field-goal tries and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Folk converted two field goals, from 22 yards and 19 yards, during his first game with the Patriots. His accuracy is a piece of good news for New England, with long-time kicker Stephen Gostkowski (hip) on IR, but it's worth noting that Folk still remains untested outside of chip shots. After the Patriots' bye, the 34-year-old will look to log another strong performance against the Eagles in Week 11.
