Commanders' Austin Seibert: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Seibert (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Seibert missed Wednesday's practice due to a hip issue, but he is trending in the right direction by returning for Thursday's session, albeit in a limited fashion. The Commanders have yet to add a kicker to the practice squad or 53-man roster, which could indicate that Seibert should be able to play against the Steelers on Sunday.

Commanders' Austin Seibert: Misses Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Seibert didn't practice Wednesday due to a right hip injury.
Seibert made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Commanders' Week 9 win over the Giants, but he may have tweaked his hip at some point along the way. Look for the Commanders to add another kicker to their practice squad or 53-man roster if Seibert misses additional practices later this week, which would put his status for Sunday's game against the Steelers in jeopardy.

Commanders' Austin Seibert: Reliable in road win
Rotowire
Seibert made both of his two field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-22 win against the Giants.
Both of Seibert's field goals were shorter than extra points, so he wasn't tasked with anything too difficult Sunday. With that said, he has now made multiple field goals in seven of his eight games this season, and his 25 made field goals so far in 2024 are more than any other kicker in the league.

Commanders' Austin Seibert: Misses first kick of season
Rotowire
Seibert made three of his four field-goal attempts and converted on both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Baltimore.
The Ravens' Ben Cleveland actually got a paw on Seibert's 52-yard try at the end of the first half to block it, but it still goes down in the books as the kicker's first blemish of the year. He had a great game for fantasy purposes, though, and it seems like he should be a solid option at kicker as long as the Commanders continue to score at a high clip.

Rotowire
Seibert made all four of his extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 42-14 win over the Cardinals.

Commanders' Austin Seibert: Comes through in debut
Rotowire
Seibert made all seven field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.
Seibert just joined the Commanders on Tuesday after the team decided to cut Cade York. He made the decision pay off in Week 2, making himself responsible for every point put on the board in their divisional win. The Oklahoma product hit six field goals from 33 yards out or less, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time was expiring to seal the victory. His long for the day was from 45 yards. Next up for Seibert and Washington are the Bengals on MNF in Week 3.

Commanders' Austin Seibert: Replacing York at kicker
Rotowire
Seibert signed a contract with the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Seibert will take over as Washington's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game versus the Giants in the wake of the Commanders cutting Cade York, who missed 47- and 56-yard field goal attempts in the team's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Seibert has bounced around between five organizations and has appeared in 31 career games while converting 45 of 56 field-goal attempts (80.4 percent) and 56 of 62 extra-point tries (90.3 percent).

Austin Seibert: May have found new opportunity
Rotowire
Seibert is expected to sign with the Commanders after the team cut Cade York on Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Seibert was cut by the Jets during training camp and appears to be in line to receive another opportunity, this time in Washington. However, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports that head coach Dan Quinn stated more clarity on the kicker position will come on Wednesday. It's not clear if that is when Seibert will sign, and if he will be given a spot on the 53-man roster or the practice squad. It's also possible that the Commanders may bring in other competition before settling on a new kicker after York's departure.

Austin Seibert: Let go on cut-down day
Rotowire
The Jets released Seibert on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Seibert inked a reserve/future contract with New York in January after logging two separate stints with the organization last season. He kicked in only one game during the campaign, making his lone field-goal try (from 34 yards) and his only extra-point attempt Week 2 versus Dallas. Seibert has played for four different teams during his career and hasn't appeared in more than six regular-season contests since working as Cleveland's primary kicker as a rookie in 2019.

Austin Seibert: Cut by New Orleans
Rotowire
The Saints cut Seibert from their practice squad Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Seibert was brought in by New Orleans just over a week ago, as Blake Grupe was dealing with an undisclosed issue ahead of the team's Week 13 contest. Grupe was able to suit up in Week 13's affair, and he appears to be past whatever issue he had been tending to, so it's not surprising that the Saints have decided to move on from Seibert.

Rotowire
Seibert was let go from the Jets' practice squad Saturday.
Seibert joined the Jets' practice squad Sept 16. He filled in for Greg Zuerlein (groin) in Week 2 against the Cowboys, and Seibert made both of his kicks (a PAT try and a 34-yard field goal attempt). He'll look for another opportunity once he clears waivers.

Austin Seibert: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Seibert reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Seibert connected on his only two kicks during Sundays' loss to the Cowboys - a 34-yard field goal and an extra point - while playing in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin). With Zuerlein's status for Week 3 against the Patriots still up in the air, Seibert could be the subject of another promotion ahead of that game.

Jets' Austin Seibert: Picked up by Jets
Rotowire
Seibert signed with the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster Saturday, and he's expected to kick in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin) in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Seibert kicked in three games for the Lions last season. He went 3-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-12 on extra points. The veteran has had also had stints with the Browns and Bengals.

Austin Seibert: Waived by Detroit
Rotowire
The Lions waived Seibert (groin) on Friday.
Seibert won a preseason competition against Riley Patterson but then missed two field goals over the first three games and sat out Week 4 with a groin injury. Patterson now is with the Jaguars, while Michael Badgley is set to fill in for Seibert and attached to a Detroit offense that's been surprisingly productive, despite dealing with numerous injuries.

Lions' Austin Seibert: Maintains limited practice activity
Rotowire
Seibert (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Seibert appears to have shown some improvement in his recovery from the right groin injury that kept him sidelined for last week's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks, but he may need to turn in a full practice Friday for the Lions to feel comfortable proceeding with him as their kicker Sunday at New England. Before he sustained the groin injury, Seibert's job appeared to be in question after he missed a pair of field-goal tries in a narrow Week 3 loss to the Vikings, but special teams coordinator Dave Fipp expressed confidence in the 25-year-old's ability to improve and strengthen his hold on the role once healthy, per Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. If Seibert needs more time to move past the groin injury, the Lions will promote Michael Badgley from the practice squad to handle kicking duties against the Patriots.

Lions' Austin Seibert: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Seibert (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.
Seibert didn't practice last week due to the injury and was ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The 25-year-old's status appears to have improved, however, given his ability to work back into Detroit's first practice of Week 5. Seibert converted three of five field-goal tries and all 12 of his PATs over the first three weeks, and he should see plenty of scoring opportunities in the Lions' prolific offense this season.

Lions' Austin Seibert: Won't play this week
Rotowire
Seibert (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Seibert missed practice all week and now will be out for the Week 4 contest. The Lions likely will call up Dominik Eberle from the practice squad, and while the matchup with Seattle is favorable, the equation also involves an inexperienced kicker whose team has multiple key injuries on offense (D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown both are out this week).

Lions' Austin Seibert: Misses two from long range
Rotowire
Seibert converted one of three field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.
Seibert had plenty of chances to put together a strong fantasy outing, but he missed a 48-yard try early on before pushing wide a 56-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. With that said, the Lions offense remained productive for a third straight week, and it bodes well for Seibert's future prospects that Detroit is consistently getting into scoring position. Up next is a Week 4 home matchup against Seattle within the indoor confines of Ford Field.
