And so the wheel turns..

Somebody call Ray Finkle

What a ****in year for injuries.
Incredible they are 10 and 1, just amazing organisation, thankfully.

time to see if Bailey can placekick...

 

[Zuma]

Time to break out the Bailey's...

• Played at Santa Fe Christian (Calif.) and connected on 12-of-16 field goals – including 54-yarder – as a senior. Also made 26-of-27 extra points.
• Made three field goals of 50 or more yards and 40 touchbacks on 47 kickoffs as a senior

Jake Bailey

 

[Mack Herron]

Geez . Glad he will be okay, but now we need another kicker (unless Bailey...) which would require a roster spot.

Jake Bailey

Awfully risky to have one active kicker

Sounds like the Chiefs game might also end up a close call.

I'm sure Bill has it covered. Younghoe was signed already by Atlanta already, so we'll probably get get Nugent for the next couple games...we need a reliable kicker for KC

 

[Mike the Brit]

Now *that's* a new one. Get well soon, Mr Folk!

 

[BelichicksHoodie]

Jeez this is crazy. Kicker after kicker. Not looking forward to January games with our situation there.

 

[Uptown]

Folk this...

 

[signbabybrady]

Do we cut Folk to make room?
Can we or do we lose him to injury settlement rules if we did?

 

[sb1]

Appendicitis isn’t really an injury just some really bad luck! Glad he will be ok.

 

[nabwong]

Drop kick Brady.

 

[luuked]

Sounds like RapSheet got info fed that the team thinks he will be back against KC.

I think this increases the chances that they might really go with Bailey this week so they don't have to move around roster space.

 

[sb1]

Janikowski probably isn’t doing a lot these days. Sign the former beast?

I'll be very impressed if Bailey can kick and also hold for himself.

Isn't Bailey the holder?

 

[luuked]

Isn't Bailey the holder?

There is a backup for that if they were to go that direction. Generally I wouldn't think BB would risk it but given how late in the week it is and the apparent short term nature of Nugent's absence it is at least possible.

Still would not be surprised about them cutting Folk and signing someone else. Just late in the week for that.

Am not sure how it works with cutting players who are unavailable due to an injury/sickness/something not sustained as part of football. If he still needs to go through IR then forget that route.
