Riley Patterson: Goes back to practice squad

Patterson reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.

For a second game in a row Sunday at Cincinnati, Patterson filled in at placekicker for Dustin Hopkins, making both his point-after tries. Hopkins hasn't practiced since injuring his left hamstring during a Week 16 win at Houston, but he'll have opportunities to do so as the Browns prepare for Saturday's wild-card contest against the Texans on the road. Patterson would handle kicking duties again this weekend if Hopkins isn't able to suit up.
