Patriots waive rookie K Quinn Nordin, may re-sign him soon

The Patriots waived rookie kicker Quinn Nordin from injured reserve Wednesday.

Nordin had been designated to return off IR earlier this week. The undrafted rookie was sidelined by an abdomen injury in Week 2. He impressed during training camp, but ultimately lost the starting job to veteran Nick Folk, who is tracking for a career year.

Through a dozen games, Folk is 31-of-34, with all three misses from 50-plus yards away. His 91.2% field goal percentage would rank as the third-best of his career.

Folk has, however, been dealing with a knee injury all season. If Nordin clears waivers Thursday, the Pats can re-sign him to their practice squad. Nordin went a combined 10-of-15 on field goals and extra points in the preseason and made almost every kick over two in-stadium practices during training camp.
