Overview

• Cleveland did not host kicker tryouts on Tuesday, indicating Andre Szmyt will keep the job into Week 2, according to cleveland.com.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team trusts Szmyt and expects him to convert in key moments despite the opener’s misses.
• Szmyt missed an extra point and a 36-yard field goal in his NFL debut, a 17-16 loss to the Bengals.
• Szmyt beat out veteran Dustin Hopkins after a perfect preseason; Hopkins regressed to 66% on field goals in 2024 and remains a free agent.
• With few appealing free-agent options available, the Browns focused on small roster moves, signing DT Ralph Holley to the practice squad and releasing RB Trayveon Williams.
