Surgery Provides The Opportunity

Injuries are a part of the game, but they provide opportunities for others.

Nick Folk would not be on the Pats roster without an injury to kicker Steven Gotskowski.

Things were looking good for Folk until he had to have his appendix removed the other day.

His surgery provides free agent Kai Forbath a chance to play in the league again. The former rookie free agent was signed by the Pats. It will be his first action since he was with Jacksonville for the last three games of the 2018 season.

He has bounced around since 2011 with the Redskins, Saints, Vikings and Jaguars. It remains to be seen how long he lasts.
