Austin Seibert - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses from 47 yards out Seibert missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 44-6 loss to the Eagles.

Impact After the Lions put up a solid effort in Week 8 against a solid Rams defense, Detroit took a huge step back against a seemingly poor Eagles defense. On his only opportunity of the day, Seibert missed wide left from 47 yards out. Attached to one of the least reliable offenses in the league, Seibert will remain an unadvisable fantasy option when Detroit returns from its Week 9 bye to take on Pittsburgh in Week 10.

Bounces back strong Seibert converted four-of-four field-goal attempts and his only PAT during Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.

Impact In what was easily his most productive game of the year, Seibert nailed a handful of field goals from between 31- and 47-yards out as the Lions found much more success than expected against the Rams' defense. While his fantasy expectations will remain low as long as he's attached to an offense led by Jared Goff, Seibert at least flashed the upside he can have in a game if everything breaks right.

Scores three points in blowout Seibert converted his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-11 loss to Cincinnati.

Impact Seibert only got one chance at a field goal in this one, as the Lions were thoroughly blown out by the Bengals. While the offense managed to score a TD late, Detroit went for two instead of giving Seibert an extra-point try. There may be 31 better kicker options in fantasy come Week 7 when the Lions go on the road to take on the Rams.

Drills three field goals Seibert made all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Seibert easily had his most productive game as a Lion, nailing two field goals from within 40 yards and another from 52. Detroit kickers previously averaged one field-goal attempt through the first four games of the season. Seibert will remain a risky start in Week 6 against the Bengals.

Activated from COVID-19 list The Lions reinstated Seibert (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact After testing positive for the virus Sept. 23, Seibert proceeded to miss the Lions' last two games. Though Seibert is seemingly fully healthy again and is expected to handle kicking duties Sunday in Minnesota, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press notes that kicker Ryan Santoso was one of four practice-squad players protected by Detroit in Week 5. In the event Seibert isn't sharp in practices this week and needs additional time off to recover from his bout with the virus, Santoso could be elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday's contest.

Remains away from team Seibert (COVID-19) remains away from the team and is uncertain to be available for Sunday's game against the Bears, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Impact If Seibert isn't able to clear COVID-19 protocols in time, look for Ryan Santoso to be promoted from the practice squad.

Tests positive for virus Seibert's placement on the Lions' reserve/COVID-19 list earlier Thursday was the result of a positive test, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Seibert's potential availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens could come down to his vaccination status; players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list who are vaccinated can rejoin their teams after testing negative twice in 24-hour span, while unvaccinated players are automatically ruled out for at least 10 days. That being said, Seibert still looks like a long shot to clear the necessary protocols with less than 72 hours to go ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, so look for Detroit to promote Ryan Santoso from the practice squad to handle kicking duties Week 3.

Hits COVID list The Lions placed Seibert (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Impact Seibert's status now looks to be in question for Sunday's upcoming contest against the Ravens. If he's not able to clear the league's COVID protocols in time to return Week 3, practice squad kicker Ryan Santoso would stand to bump into the starting lineup.

Perfect in limited action Seibert converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.

Impact Doing all of his damage in the first half, Seibert was on his way to a respectable fantasy performance before the Lions offense completely fell apart in the second. While there may be weeks when Detroit can be effective on offense for a full four quarters, Seibert will remain a poor bet to produce on a weekly basis unless the Lions start becoming more efficient at getting into scoring range.

Middling Lions debut Seibert converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of two PATs during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Seibert missed his first attempt from long range wide left but rebounded later on with a successful attempt from 49 yards out. However, Detroit fell down 38-10 halfway through the third quarter and the offense only went for touchdowns and two-point conversions from then on, limiting Seibert's opportunities. As Detroit's offense and defense will likely remain among the most underwhelming in the league, Seibert seems like one of the least reliable fantasy options at kicker.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed as Detroit's kicker The Lions claimed Seibert off waivers Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact The landing spot is about as good of an outcome as possible for Seibert, who becomes the only kicker on Detroit's roster just one day after losing a job battle to Evan McPherson in Cincinnati. For fantasy purposes, the Lions' kicker isn't likely to make a dent this season, regardless of who holds down the job.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Bengals Seibert was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Seibert made six of eight field-goal attempts with the Bengals last season, but he faced an uphill battle for a roster spot this year after the team selected Evan McPherson in the fifth round of April's draft. McPherson made all five of his field-goal attempts during the preseason, winning the job over Seibert. A fifth-round pick in 2019 by the Browns, Seibert has connected on 31 of 38 career field-goal tries.

Falling behind McPherson Seibert has kicked pretty well at camp so far, missing a couple of 40-plus-yard kicks, but rookie Evan McPherson has been lights out so far, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports...

Impact McPherson would have to tank badly in camp to lose the job after the Bengals spent a fifth-round pick on him in this year's draft, and he's done anything but tank. After the Jake Elliott draft-then-cut debacle of a few years ago, Seibert had the odds stacked against him in camp.
