Nick Novak says he’ll be ready to go this week. But just in case that doesn’t happen, Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said he’ll bring in kickers for tryouts on Tuesday.
Last month after Novak suffered an ankle injury covering kickoffs against the Denver Broncos, the Chargers brought in Younghoe Koo, Andrew Franks and Jason Myers for a tryout, but stayed with Novak.
When the Dolphins were awarded kicker Cody Parkey on a waiver claim Sunday, it seemed like just a matter of time before word of Andrew Franks‘ release would hit the wire.
That word came on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins haven’t made an official announcement at this point, but Franks said farewell in a tweet that thanked the Dolphins for the chance to play for them.
The Dolphins cut veteran kicker Caleb Sturgis and running back Mike Gillislee Saturday.
The Dolphins made 22 roster moves Saturday — they cut 20 players, terminated the contract of quarterback Josh Freeman, and waived/injured wide receiver Christion Jones.
Sturgis, the oft-injured kicker who struggled for two years, was probably the biggest name of the players cut, although his release wasn't a surprise.
The Dolphins will now go with a rookie kicker in Andrew Franks from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a rookie punter in Matt Darr, who attended Tennessee.
Sturgis was actually ranked eighth among our kickers this offseason, and was expected to put up fantasy points in what should be an improved Dolphins offense. Frank is now a borderline K1 option in his place.
