The St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday signed kicker Novo Bojovic, who formerly kicked in the USFL.

Bojovic replaces rookie kicker Jess Atkinson, who was waived after missing all three field goals he attempted in his two-week stint with St. Louis. Atkinson had been signed after veteran Neil O'Donoghue was released.

Bojovic kicked for the Michigan Panthers for the last three seasons.

Bojovic passed his physical examination Tuesday after winning a kicking battle with several others who tried out at Busch Stadium.

Bojovic was born in Titograd, Yugoslavia, and attended high school in Hamtramck, Michigan, before kicking at Central Michigan.
