Preseason rosters for the six NFL Europa teams have been completed following the assignment of kickers and punters at the conclusion of a four-day special teams minicamp in Tampa, Florida.
Among the promising special teamers heading to Europe is NICK NOVAK (Chicago Bears), who kicked in 16 regular season games for the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Redskins in 2005-06, converting 13 of 20 field goals, with a long of 47 yards, and all 25 PAT attempts for a total of 64 points.
