Patriots waive 2020 fifth-round pick K Justin Rohrwasser and two linebackers Rohrwasser
Does Bills-Colts Game Make Patriots Look Worse For Justin Rohrwasser Selection? - NESN.com The Buffalo Bills and Indianpolis Colts each started kickers who were drafted (or signed) after New England Patriots' Justin Rohrwasser.

Staying in New England The Patriots signed Rohrwasser to a reserve/future contract Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nick Folk ended up taking over and dominating for the Patriots this year, so Rohrwasser -- a rookie fifth-round pick out of Marshall -- never moved up from the practice squad. Robert Aguayo also signed a reserve/future deal with the Patriots on Monday. Rohrwasser and Aguayo may be the main contestants for the starting kicker role in 2021 if Folk -- a 37-year-old pending free agent -- doesn't return.

Old guys rule: Belichick, Carroll meet as Pats visit Hawks

Competition moves to practice squad The Patriots signed Rohrwasser and Nick Folk to the practice squad Sunday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Rohrwasser and Folk were both cut Saturday after having spent training camp competing for the starting kicker gig. Now with both back with New England on the practice squad, it's likely that if one is able to impress more over the next week, he'll be activated for Sept. 13's season opener against Miami. Of course, the Patriots could always opt to bring in another kicker before Week 1.

Teams sending QBs packing in final cuts despite pandemic
The theory that NFL teams would go with three quarterbacks to start the pandemic-impacted season took a hit SaturdaySEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • Associated Press
Patriots cut both kickers Both Rohrwasser and Nick Folk have been let go by the Patriots, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Initial reports relayed that Rohrwasser was in line to be waived, which appeared to result in Folk landing the team's kicking job. However, subsequent reports revealed the Patriots' plans to trim both players off the team's initial roster. Rohrwasser is thus a practice squad candidate, while New England may either bring Folk back at some point or add a new kicker, with quite a few currently available following NFL cut-downs.

Doesn't make the cut Rohrwasser will be waived by the Patriots, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact With that, Nick Folk heads into Week 1 as the team's kicker, while Rohrwasser -- who was the first kicker selected in the 2020 NFL Draft -- could land on the team's practice squad, with Cox relaying that coach Bill Belichick suggested Friday that the Patriots remain interested in continuing to work with the fifth-rounder.

Could get cut Rohrwasser's struggles in training camp may result in him being cut and veteran Nick Folk winning the Patriots' kicking competition, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Rohrwasser made only 55 percent of his field-goal attempts over New England's final five days of camp, which paled in comparison to Folk's 86 percent success rate over the same span. As the team looks to replace long-time kicker Stephen Gostkowski rather than immediately entrusting an inconsistent rookie in Rohrwasser, the veteran Folk may prove the preferred option. A decision on the matter is expected ahead of Saturday's 4:00 PM ET deadline to trim rosters for the regular season.

Starts kicking field goals Rohrwasser (undisclosed) kicked field goals in team drills Sunday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This is Rohrwasser's second time kicking field goals in training camp, and he hasn't done so in nearly a week because he was dealing with an injury. Although the Patriots picked him in the fifth round of April's draft, the team is bringing in Nick Folk to compete with Rohrwasser for the kicking job.
AUGUST 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Not kicking lately Rohrwasser has not attempted a single kick in the Patriots' last four practices, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Rohrwasser made three of five kicks in Monday's session but since then has been restricted to solo work before practice starts. When asked about his recent inactivity, neither head coach Bill Belichick nor special teams coach Cam Achord offered a concrete explanation. With Rohrwasser listed as the only kicker on New England's current roster, the rookie fifth-rounder's situation should certainly be worth monitoring in the near future.
