Won't kick Thursday Seibert is a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Seibert was claimed off waivers by the Browns Tuesday, however, he'll have to wait another week to make his debut. This news is quite interesting, especially considering he was expected to face the team that cut him just a few days after the fact. Seibert may be lacking confidence after he missed a 41-yard field goal and an extra point with the Browns in Week 1. Randy Bullock will continue to handle kicking duties Thursday.

Kicker Austin Seibert on the road — literally — from Cleveland to Cincinnati After being waived by the Browns, Seibert is claimed by the Bengals and could return to kick against the Browns on Thursday night.

Lands in Cincinnati The Bengals claimed Seibert off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cincinnati held the NFL's top waiver priority and elected to use it on Seibert, who was let go by the Browns after missing a 41-yard field goal and an extra-point attempt in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. Seibert could get the chance to redeem himself right away against his former team, as the Bengals are scheduled to play the Browns on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. While top kicker Randy Bullock (calf) isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury coming out of the Bengals' Week 1 loss to the Chargers, the quick turnaround between games could prompt Cincinnati to hold him out in favor of Seibert. As a rookie with Cleveland last season, Seibert converted a respectable 25 of 29 field-goal attempts, though he misfired on five extra-point tries.

Promptly cut by Cleveland The Browns waived Seibert on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The writing was on the wall after the Browns promoted Cody Parkey to the active roster. Seibert had a rough Week 1, missing a 41-yard field goal and an extra point, and the Browns are apparently confident enough in Parkey to cut loose their 2019 fifth-round pick. The 23-year-old Seibert likely will clear waivers.

May lose job to Parkey Seibert's job is in jeopardy after the Browns signed Cody Parkey to the active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Seibert missed a 41-yard field goal and an extra point in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. While his whiffs didn't affect the final result, it looks like the Browns want to get ahead of their kicking woes before it becomes a real issue. Parkey is expected to kick for the team Thursday against the Bengals, and if he performs well, Seibert could be let go.

Misses two kicks Seibert was unsuccessful on a 41-yard attempt and missed an extra-point kick in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

Impact It was not a good day for Seibert, the second-year kicker that had problems early in the 2019 season. He eventually settled down but missed four kicks between 40 and 49 yards and five extra-point tries. Seibert didn't have competition during training camp, suggesting the Browns were happy with him, but Cleveland added Cody Parkey to the practice squad just before the regular season. Parkey may want to keep his cell phone charged.

Has coach's confidence Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer said Thursday that Seibert is "our guy," Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The Browns signed Cody Parkey to the practice squad earlier this week, but Priefer's comment confirms that the move was simply made to add depth. Seibert, who converted 25 of 29 field-goal attempts across 16 games for the Browns last season, will head into Sunday's tilt against Baltimore with a secure grip on the starting gig.

Team adds kicker The Browns signed Cody Parkey to the practice squad, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, adding insurance for Seibert.

Impact Parkey kicked for the Browns in 2016, successfully executing 20-of-25 field-goal attempts, including a long of 51 yards, and 20-of-21 extra-point kicks. He has a stronger leg than Seibert, who missed four of 14 kicks beyond the 40-yard-line and five extra-point kicks in 2019.

AUGUST 20, 2020 • Associated Press

Makes seven of eight Seibert was successful on seven of eight field-goal attempts during Sunday's practice session, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Seibert survived a shaky preseason in 2019, and the rookie posted respectable numbers for a team with a dysfunctional offense. The one downside was missing five of 35 extra-points kicks (85.7 percent, 27th). The Browns opted not to bring in an outside challenger for the place-kicking position, so Seibert is in line to start the season as the team's kicker.
