The Lions waived Eberle on Tuesday.
Signed off the practice squad last Saturday, Eberle served as the Lions' kicker in an eventual 48-45 loss to the Seahawks in Week 4 while top option Austin Seibert (groin) was sidelined. Even in the NFL's highest-scoring game of the season, Eberle came away with only five points, as he missed two of his four extra-point tries while knocking down a 49-yard field-goal attempt. Seibert's status is uncertain for the Lions' Week 5 game at New England, but the team evidently didn't deem Eberle a dependable fill-in option if a replacement kicker is required again.

Lions' Dominik Eberle: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
The Lions signed Eberle to the active roster Saturday.
Eberle is set to fill in for Austin Seibert, who was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a groin injury. The Lions are missing a number of key offensive pieces, including D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle), so don't expect the offense to generate enough opportunities for Eberle to be a fantasy asset Week 4.

Dominik Eberle: Waived by Green Bay
Rotowire
Eberle was waived by the Packers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Green Bay initially brought in Eberle to provide an extra leg this offseason behind starting kicker Mason Crosby. However, Eberle now has been replaced by undrafted rookie Gabe Brkic, whom the Packers claimed off waivers in a corresponding move Monday. Eberle played one game as a fill-in for Ka'imi Fairbairn with Houston last season, converting two of three field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point attempts, and should have a chance to compete for a similar emergency backup role elsewhere this offseason.

Packers' Dominik Eberle: Joins Green Bay
Rotowire
Eberle signed a contract with the Packers on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Eberle appeared in one NFL game during 2021 with Houston and went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on PATs, and he also spent time on Houston's and Carolina's practice squads. Mason Crosby remains under contract with Green Bay for 2022 but isn't guaranteed to stick around, while JJ Molson is also on the roster after spending last season on the practice squad as the emergency kicking option.

Dominik Eberle: Lands on practice squad COVID list
Rotowire
Houston placed Eberle on the practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Eberle was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 16 to fill in for Ka'imi Fairbairn, who had been placed on the same list. In Houston's 41-29 win over the Chargers, Eberle converted two of his three field-goal attempts and all five extra-point kicks. Fairbairn cleared the NFL's COVID-19-related protocols Wednesday, so even if Eberle gains clearance before Sunday's game against the 49ers, he won't be added back to Houston's roster.

Texans' Dominik Eberle: Productive as fill-in
Rotowire
Eberle converted two of three field-goal attempts and all five extra-point kicks in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.
Eberle was a late-week addition to the active roster after Ka'imi Fairbairn was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He made kicks from 25 and 51 yards while missing on a 52-yarder. The rookie kicker out of Utah State had been released from the Panthers' practice squad in late October before the Texans grabbed him when Fairbairn started to show symptoms.

Rotowire

Dominik Eberle: Could fill in for Fairbairn
Rotowire
Eberle could be elevated from the practice squad for Week 16 to serve as the Texans' kicker in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Houston placed Ka'ami Fairbairn on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, tentatively leaving the Texans without a kicker on the active roster. Eberle, who agreed to a deal earlier Thursday to join Houston's practice squad, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, thus looks like the top candidate to handle kicking duties this weekend. Fairbairn is vaccinated, so he'll have a chance to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol if he's asymptomatic.

Rotowire
The Texans are slated to add Eberle to their practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Eberle was released from the Panthers' practice squad in late October, but he'll now land a spot on Houston's practice squad late in the season. The 25-year-old hasn't yet made his NFL debut, but he could be in line to play Sunday against the Chargers if Ka'imi Fairbairn (illness) is unable to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Rotowire
