The correct answer is 2. the team had to get a new kicker

Explanation:

In grammar, a sentence fragment mainly occurs when there are a set of words that go together but these do not express a complete idea or though or these are missing an essential element such as a subject or verb. In the case of the fragment "After Jose broke his leg" this sentence has an incomplete idea as the word "After" suggest another action following the accident of Jose but this is never expressed. Considering this, the option that corrects this sentence fragment by completing the idea is "the team had to get a new kicker" because this tells the event that occurred after Jose broke his leg and also this contains a subject and a verb which makes the whole sentence "After Jose broke his leg the team had to get a new kicker" be a complete and grammatical correct snetnece.
