Browns' Kicker Andre Szmyt Questionable After Calf Scare, MRI Pending

Cleveland carries no second kicker, creating a race against the clock before Sunday's 1 p.m. kickoff in Green Bay.

Overview

  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Szmyt felt something in his left calf at Friday's practice and will undergo an MRI, leaving his Week 3 status uncertain.
  • The Browns have no other kicker on the active roster or practice squad, heightening the urgency of the situation.
  • Stefanski called it premature to decide on signing help, with reports identifying free agent Dustin Hopkins as a possible option if Szmyt cannot play.
  • Szmyt missed a field goal and an extra point in a one-point loss in Week 1, then made a long field goal and both extra points in Week 2.
  • Szmyt was a late addition to the injury report as questionable, and the 0-2 Browns visit the undefeated Packers on Sunday.
