It's being reported by PFT. With our luck he'll end up kicking the game winning fg for them in the Super Bowl.
Obviously Belichick bribed Doug Brien to miss those FGs back in 2005, so we'd identify their future Super Bowl kicker 14 years before they'd claim him.
I'm checking out the box score from Pats-Skins I see Nugent was 2/2 on his fg attempts today. I couldn't understand why the Jets never considered him. They drafted him high, he kicked in the league a long time he's a pro why not bring him back home? Of course the frickin' Patriots of all teams brings him in when their kicker struggled.
The Pats kicker is on IR for the season. He had a hip injury that may explain some of his struggles. Nugent missed his 1st kick for the Pats which was an extra point kick. None of the Boston media expect much from Nugent and he will probably not be on the team next year. Then again I could be dead wrong. Many fear he will miss an important kick in the playoffs. In the meantime, I think Gillette Stadium should play "Cat Scratch Fever" or "Stranglehold" when he goes to kick.
