Gostkowski and the Titans have reached an agreement on a contract, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Titans waived Greg Joseph early Thursday morning, leaving Gostkowski and Tucker McCann as the two kickers on their roster. McCann is an undrafted rookie out of Missouri, while Gostkowski holds the No. 5 spot on the NFL's all-time FG percentage list (87.4). It thus seems likely that the 36-year-old will step right in as the top placekicker, despite missing four PATs in four games with the Patriots last season before a hip injury forced him to injured reserve. Gostkowski worked out for the Titans a few days back, proving his health before the signing. The Tennessee offense specialized in long gains and red-zone efficiency last season, but it could be a nice setup for fantasy kicker production if the unit maintains its overall efficiency in a way that isn't so heavily slanted toward touchdowns (50, 3rd) over field-goal attempts (18, 31st).

Gostkowski (hip) tried out with the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski has seemingly recovered from the hip injury that landed him on injured reserve in 2019, and he's searching for a new landing spot after 14 years with the Patriots. The 36-year-old was fairly reliable in 2019, making seven of eight field goals (88 percent), although he struggled with extra points, converting just 11 of 15.

The Patriots will release Gostkowski (hip), Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

When healthy, Gostkowski was entrenched as the Patriots' kicker since he was selected in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. A hip injury limited the 36-year-old to four games last season, however. Per Doug Kyed of NESN.com, with Gostkowski on the way out, Matthew Slater is now the longest-tenured player on the Patriots.

Gostkowski (hip) may be released this offseason, NESN.com's Zack Cox reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski missed five kicks in four games last season before landing on injured reserve with a hip injury. He's now entering the last year of his contract, with the Patriots able to clear out nearly $3.5 million in cap space if he's released. The 36-year-old probably needs to accept a pay cut to have any shot at sticking around.

Gostkowski will require season-ending surgery to address a left hip injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski, whom the Patriots placed on IR on Wednesday, is expected to be ready for the 2020 season, but the Patriots will have to find a new kicker for the remainder of the current campaign.

The Patriots will place Gostkowski on injured reserve Wednesday due to an unspecified issue, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski's absence from practice Wednesday hinted that something was amiss, but the veteran kicker's move to IR still comes as a surprise. More details surrounding the injury should unfold soon, but the transaction means that he'll miss at least the next eight weeks. The injury may have contributed to Gostkowski's uncharacteristic lack of accuracy this season, as the 35-year-old has misfired on four of his 15 extra-point tries. The Patriots should add a replacement for Gostkowski to the 53-man roster in short order, and that kicker will immediately make for an intriguing fantasy pickup in light of the favorable team context.

Gostkowski was not seen at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran kicker is presumably dealing with an injury, though nothing of that nature was reported after Sunday's 16-10 divisional win over the Bills. The 35-year-old has dealt with uncharacteristic PAT issues this season, having missed four of 15 attempts through four contests. An injury would go a long way toward explaining those struggles.

Gostkowski made his only field-goal attempt (from 23 yards), en route to recording four points in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, Gostkowski missed one of his two extra-point tries, giving him a total of four misses (on 15 attempts) through the Patriots' first four contests this season. Gostkowski's reliability over the years works in his favor, but his recent PAT issues are something he'll have to overcome soon in order to maintain his job security.

Gostkowski made his only field-goal attempt (from 37 yards), en route to recording six points in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

His did miss one of his four extra point tries, which gives him three misses over his last two games. That's a bit concerning in the short term, but Gostkowski's reliability over the years presumably ensures that the Patriots won't make any rash moves here. Three games into the season, Gostkowski has racked up 28 points, while working behind the league's second-highest (35.3 PPG) scoring offense.

Gostkowski made one of two field-goal attempts and four of six extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Gostkowski missed just one extra point in 50 attempts last year, and he's never missed more than three in a season. He was able to nail a 28-yard field goal, but he missed a 48-yard attempt. This is a tough start for the normally automatic kicker, and he'll look to get back on track in a home game versus the Jets in Week 3.
