The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Patrick Murray to a contract and placed fellow kicker Nick Folk on injured reserve with a minor injury classification, the team announced Monday.
Folk missed three field-goal attempts in the Buccaneers' 19-14 loss to the New England Patriots last Thursday night. The 32-year-old Folk was 6 of 11 for field goals and 7 of 9 on extra points this season. He missed only four field-goal attempts (27 of 31) with the New York Jets in 2016.
