After a week of not knowing what was going to happen, the Patriots have a kicker for Sunday against the Chiefs, and likely for the rest of the season.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the team is expected to re-sign Nick Folk and he will be ready to kick Sunday.
The veteran was released last week after needing an appendectomy and the team needing a roster spot for Kai Forbath. Forbath kicked against Houston, but was released on Monday. After a week of questions, Folk ultimately kicked for the team Friday and showed he was healthy enough to be brought back.
In three games with the Patriots, Folk was 7-for-9 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points. The two misses came on field goal attempts of 40-plus yards and in miserable conditions against the Cowboys.
Folk replaced Mike Nugent who was released after trying to replace Stephen Gostkowski after he landed on injured reserve.
