The New England Patriots worked out veteran punter Jamie Gillan on Thursday as they face uncertainty at the position due to an injury to Bryce Baringer. Gillan’s workout follows the signing of Matt Haack, who is providing immediate depth. Baringer sustained his injury during the Patriots' second preseason game, prompting the team to consider alternatives for the regular season. Gillan, nicknamed 'The Scottish Hammer,' has experience in 107 NFL games and may offer a different option with his left-footed kicking. The decision on whether to sign Gillan has yet to be made as teams evaluate players around roster cuts.
