FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The Patriots have placed kicker Stephen Gostkowski on injured reserve.

The team announced the move Wednesday, but didnâ€™t disclose the 35-year-oldâ€™s injury.

He is the fourth Patriots player to go on IR this season, joining receiver Nâ€™Keal Harry, left tackle Isaiah Wynn and fullback James Develin.

The franchiseâ€™s all-time leading scorer, Gostkowski has appeared in every game for New England since 2011. But heâ€™s struggled thus far in 2019, missing four extra points. He hadnâ€™t missed more than three extra points in any of his previous 13 NFL seasons.

He last missed game action in 2010 when he went on IR with a thigh injury and missed the final eight games that season.
