The Patriots waived Nordin (undisclosed) from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Nordin joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in May 2021, but despite being a part of the organization for most of the past two years, he has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. The 24-year-old spent the entire 2022 campaign on the reserve list, and whether or not he'll be healthy enough to compete for a job somewhere in 2023 remains to be seen.

The Patriots re-signed Nordin (abdomen) to the practice squad Friday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Quinn Nordin: Waived by Pats
Rotowire
Nordin (abdomen) was waived by the Patriots on Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Nordin was recently removed from IR, and the Patriots likely waived him with the intention of adding Nordin to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed. The rookie kicker is in no position to challenge veteran incumbent Nick Folk this season, as Folk has made 31 of 34 field-goal attempts.

Patriots' Quinn Nordin: Designated to return from IR
Rotowire
The Patriots have designated Nordin (abdomen) to return from IR, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Veteran kicker Nick Folk has been having a strong campaign for the Patriots, but he has been managing (and playing through) a left knee issue, with Cox suggesting that the move is likely is a way to get Nordin some practice reps while lightening Folk's load in the process. With that in mind, Nordin has a 21 day-window before the team would need to add him to the 53-man roster or have him revert him to season-ending IR if that doesn't happen.

Patriots' Quinn Nordin: Could be replaced by Folk?
Rotowire
The Patriots may activate Nick Folk from the practice squad to replace Nordin as the primary placekicker for Sunday's game against Miami, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.
Coach Bill Belichick said "there's a lot of merit" to calling Folk up before Sunday's game. The Patriots want to keep Nordin and may be worried about losing him on waivers, but he could end up a healthy scratch Week 1, or else relegated to kickoffs and long-distance attempts.

Patriots' Quinn Nordin: Lands roster spot
Rotowire
Nordin made the Patriots' initial 53-man roster, per Mike Dussault of the team's official site, while veteran Nick Folk is a member of New England's practice squad.
Nordin's leg strength presumably gave him the edge over Folk, but we'll have to see what, if any, other kicker moves the Patriots make as time goes on, now that Folk is on the practice squad. As things stand, Nordin is in line to kick behind a New England offense helmed by rookie QB Mac Jones. In that context, the UDFA out of Michigan profiles as a streaming fantasy option while New England's new-look attack gels.
