Washington has already churned through three kickers, but will need a fourth after Joey Slye suffered a hamstring injury late in the first half of the Football Team’s win over the Seahawks on Monday.
Slye was trying to chase down defensive end Rasheem Green after a blocked extra point when the kicker pulled up while running. He kicked off on the next play, but was unable to handle the duties in the second half. Via Ben Standig of TheAthletic.com, Rivera said in a Tuesday morning interview on 106.7 The Fan that Slye’s hamstring will keep him out for a minimum of three weeks. That would seem to suggest that Slye will go on injured reserve. Rivera also noted that he sent word for scouts to start looking for kicking help at halftime.
