Browns Weigh Kicker Replacement as Andre Szmyt's Calf Puts Week 3 in Doubt

Special teams have cost Cleveland points in an 0-2 start.

Overview

  • Coach Kevin Stefanski said Szmyt felt something in his left calf during Friday's practice, will undergo an MRI, and is listed as questionable for the Packers game.
  • Stefanski said the team will sign a replacement kicker if Szmyt cannot play against Green Bay.
  • In Week 1, the rookie missed an extra point and a potential game-winning 36-yard field goal in a one-point loss to the Bengals.
  • A blocked punt in Baltimore set up a short-field touchdown and left punter Corey Bojorquez with an ankle injury.
  • Returner DeAndre Carter sustained a concussion, and coordinator Bubba Ventrone said rookie Isaiah Bond will continue getting punt-return reps while the unit focuses on better protection and blocking technique.
