Thai Jet Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Just read on PFT per ESPN. Hip (left) surgery out for the season. I know the Pat's brought in 3 kickers this week but everyone thought it was just due diligence on their part. Guess not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache 51 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 earlier today: NFL rumors: Patriots place kicker Stephen Gostkowski on injured reserve | What it means for Giants, Jets, Eagles Updated 3:36 PM; Today 2:52 PM AP New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday. By Brian Fonseca | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com UPDATE (3:34 p.m. EDT): Patriots placekicker Stephen Gostkowski is out for the season. He will undergo season-ending surgery on his left hip, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Patriots’ kicker Stephen Gostkowski has a left hip injury that will require season-ending surgery, per source. He is expected to be ready to kick for the 2020 season. Patriots’ kicker Stephen Gostkowski has a left hip injury that will require season-ending surgery, per source. He is expected to be ready to kick for the 2020 season. The New England Patriots brought in free-agent kickers to workout on Wednesday morning, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Now it’s clear why. The Patriots placed veteran placekicker Stephen Gostkowski on the injured reserve list, according to The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride. Gostkowski, 35, missed four PATs and a field goal through four games this season. It is unclear whether Gostkowski is placed on season-ending IR. At the very least, he will miss eight weeks of action. The earliest he can come back is in Week 13, when the Patriots host fellow AFC title contender Kansas City Chiefs on December 8, 2019. This bodes well for three local teams. The Giants face the Patriots in Foxborough on Thursday Night Football next week, while the Jets host New England in Week 7. The Eagles host the Patriots in Week 11. The struggles are a surprise given how consistent Gostkowski has been throughout his 14-year career. Prior to this year, where Gostkowski is 11-for-15 on extra points, he had missed just six out of 649 attempts. He set a NFL record with 479 consecutive extra points made during that stretch. “Yeah, I think as a team, there’s a lot of things that we can do better, so we’re working every area to improve,” head coach Bill Belichick said when asked about the kicking struggles, per CBS Boston. “I think we can improve in all three phases of the game and within those phases there’s a lot of things we can work on there as well. We need work on everything. It’s barely October. We’ve got a long way to go.” Gostkowski has won three Super Bowls and made four Pro Bowls with the Patriots. The two-time All-Pro selection was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Memphis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 You would HAVE TO think that after the Jets couldn't scrape up a kicker over several months and ultimately lost a Week 1 game vs. the Bills after their Kicker missed both a FG and XP, the Patriots couldn't possibly find anyone to do a decent job for them. However....we all know they'll sign a guy who was working at Walmart on Tuesday and he'll kick a 52 yarder to win the Super Bowl for the Pats in February. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SammySweetheart Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The search seems to be down to Kai Forbath and former Jet/future Ring of Honor player Mike Nugent. Thinking back Nugent may have had the longest NFL tenure of any Jets 2nd round pick in the last few decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange since this has NEVER bothered me if a guy is a member of the Cheaters. Whole organization cheats from the owner to the coaches to the players. Even in Sunday's Bills game the Bills HC had to escort 2 of the Pat's coaches (1 being Belipricks son) off the field during the Bills warm ups. They were lingering way past the time they were allowed. Spying no doubt. Just a push the envelope type of organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
