Nick Folk: Another promotion looming

With Quinn Nordin (abdomen) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, look for Folk to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the team's active roster ahead of the contest.

It's an assignment that Folk could hold on to in the coming weeks, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggesting that Nordin is a candidate to go on IR. Either way, Folk -- who made all three of his field-goal attempts in the the team's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins, en route to recording 10 points -- is on track to kick again for New England this weekend, and likely beyond.
