WATCH: Patriots still without a kicker before Week 14 showdown with Chiefs

This is the fifth kicker that New England will sign since Stephen Gostkowski was placed on injured reserve with a left hip injury on Oct. 2.

The defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots are licking their wounds after their 28-22 loss to the Houston Texans last Sunday.

Offensively and defensively, the struggles continued plus the team released eight-year NFL veteran Kai Forbath this week and have not signed a replacement on special teams just yet.

Forbath made 1 of 2 for extra points and was successful on a 23-yard field goal in the loss.

Although special teams were not the reason for taking their second loss of the season, New England felt a change was needed.

WATCH: Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa weighing options

After a season-ending hip injury, Tua Tagovailoa isn’t sure what he’ll do next.

In an interview with ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit on Tuesday, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said he’s “not too sure” about what’s next for his football career.

The junior, whose season ended with a hip dislocation against Mississippi State on Nov. 16, shared that he is thinking from a financial perspective, not an emotional one when weighing whether he should declare for the NFL draft or return to Alabama for his senior season.

“You think of risk-reward on coming back, you think of risk-reward on leaving,” Tagovailoa told Herbstreit. “Now is not the time to be making emotional decisions. Now, you have to change into thinking as a businessman. You have to make business decisions.”

Tagovailoa entered the 2019 season as a lock for the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft, but injuries to his ankle and hip have dropped his stock.

The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is Jan. 20.

WATCH: Eli Manning likely to start Sunday vs. Eagles

The Giants are likely to start Eli Manning against the Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s time for Eli Manning to shake off that rust.

New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday that starting quarterback Daniel Jones did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and is wearing a protective walking boot as he recovers from a “moderate” right ankle sprain suffered Sunday against the Packers.

Shurmur told reporters that the injury is not as severe as what Saquon Barkley dealt with earlier in the season, sidelining the running back for three games, but Jones’ recovery is expected to take weeks, not days.

That means we can expect to see Eli Manning back in the saddle on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran quarterback hasn’t seen a snap since his Week 2 loss to the Bills.

WATCH: Chris Paul at peace with trade to Thunder

Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul opened up about his trade from a perennial playoff contender, the Houston Rockets.

Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul opened up about his trade from a perennial playoff contender, the Houston Rockets.

“I was shocked. Truth be told, I just talked to Daryl [Morey] a couple days before the trade and he said he wasn’t going to trade me [to Oklahoma City].”, said Paul.

Although it seemed like the move could slow down the 34-year old guard, the Wake Forest product told the Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears, “I love to hoop too much”.

Not long after the 14-year veteran was traded, Oklahoma City head coach Billy Donovan said Paul flew to Oklahoma City and had dinner with Thunder’s young core setting an example.

Paul’s time with the Thunder may be short because he’s still an attractive trade candidate but he’s the most of his new situation.

Paul averages 16 points and 6 assists this season, however, the Thunder are 10th in the Western Conference.

WATCH: Steelers’ Maurkice Pouncey: Fight with Myles Garret ‘was worth it’

Maurkice Pouncey is back from his two-game suspension following the Browns-Steelers melee from Week 11 when Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett ripped off the helmet of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and then hit him with it.

Maurkice Pouncey is back from his two-game suspension following the Browns-Steelers melee from Week 11 when Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett ripped off the helmet of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and then hit him with it.

Pouncey was originally suspended three games for punching Garrett in the helmet and then kicking him, but the NFL reduced his suspension to two games after an appeal.

Even then, the Steelers’ center doesn’t regret it. Pouncey said to PennLive.com’s Jacob Klinger: “The NFL had to make a statement, and rightfully so. At the end of the day, the fight didn’t look good, but the fight was worth it.”

Between two missed game checks and a $35,096 fine, Pouncey lost out on approximately $150,000.

“Everyone had to pay their fines, everyone had to do their due diligence. But the money was worth it, trust me.”
