Browns-Raiders moved to Monday McLaughlin and the Browns will no longer play the Raiders on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

Impact Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster.

Keeping job for now McLaughlin will remain the Browns' kicker according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact McLaughlin started the season strong, making his first nine field-goal attempts on the year. Since then he has made just five of 11 attempts, bring his made field-goal percentage down to 75 percent on the season. If his woes continue, it seems unlikely he'll retain his coach's confidence for much longer.

Wobbles continue McLaughlin converted one of two field-goal attempts and three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-22 win over Baltimore.

Impact McLaughlin misfired on a 41-yard attempt, which clanged off the upright early in the fourth quarter. Had the Ravens converted a subsequent two-point attempt, a game with dire playoff implications could have been tied at 24. It was the third consecutive game he's missed on an attempt between 40 and 49 yards, and McLaughlin's made just four of nine (44 percent) field goals from that distance. He also missed an extra point during that wobbly three-game stretch. None of the misses are the culprit in losses, but there are a couple that could have put Cleveland in a better position. The Browns resuscitated faint playoff hopes with the Week 14 win, and one wonders if McLaughlin's shakiness might prompt a change.

Impact The Browns signed veteran punter Dustin Colquitt on Friday, when he joined them for practice and served as McLaughlin's holder. It may not be a big deal, but the new holder introduces a layer of uncertainty to the kicking packages. More so than the new holder, McLaughlin could be hampered by a Browns offense that produced just nine field-goal attempts and 14 extra-point kicks over the last seven games.

Misses FGA in one-score loss McLaughlin was successful on one of two field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact McLaughlin failed to convert a 46-yard attempt on Cleveland's opening drive, his third missed kick over the last two games. When asked about the kicker by reporters this week, special-teams coach Mike Priefer said he was confident in McLaughlin, whose previous misses were not a factor in games. That changed Sunday. McLaughlin's now under 80 percent on field goals -- 14 of 18 -- and more questions could arise. When the Browns' sputtering offense gets in range, it's vital they come away with points. The team is on a bye Week 13, which gives them plenty of time to evaluate McLaughlin and seek alternatives.

Retains coach's confidence Cleveland special teams coach Mike Priefer said he remains confident in McLaughlin despite recent misses, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact McLaughlin's been accurate all season and none of his misses have been the reason for a loss, so it would be a surprise if the Browns moved on from him. He missed a field-goal attempt and had an extra-point kick blocked last week against the Lions, which Priefer told Petrak was the result of a low kick, not the protection. McLaughlin's made 13 of 16 field-goal attempts (81.2 percent) and 25 of 26 extra-point kicks (96.2 percent) in 2021.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses among few opportunities McLaughlin missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.

Impact In another game that's become increasingly normal for McLaughlin, the kicker did not have a lot of opportunities to put points on the board. That means every attempt is vital. He missed wide right on a 46-yard field-goal attempt, and the missed extra point was blocked. It was not ideal weather conditions for an offense, but Cleveland's scored 17 points or fewer in five of the past six games, rendering McLaughlin a lower-tier kicking option for fantasy managers.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Has little work in loss McLaughlin did not attempt a field goal and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 45-7 loss to New England.

Impact The Browns' offense has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, and not much was expected from it Week 10 when Cleveland was missing its top two running backs. He's been spot-on when asked to kick, making 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 24 extra-point kicks, but McLaughlin ranks 17th in kicker scoring with 63 points and 20th with 15 FGA.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rings up double-digit points McLaughlin converted two of three field-goal attempts and five extra-point kicks in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

Impact McLaughlin's endured very few scoring opportunities the previous three weeks, scoring just 11 points, but he matched that total in Sunday's win. The game was the best Cleveland's offense looked in weeks. McLaughlin, a journeyman placekicker, has performed well for the Browns, nailing 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 23 extra-point kicks.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Produces when called McLaughlin was successful on one field-goal attempt and one extra-point kick in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact McLaughlin rebounded from his only missed kick of the season -- a blocked FGA last week -- and produced points whenever asked. The downside is that Cleveland's sputtering and inconsistent offense didn't afford him many chances. McLaughlin has scored just 11 points over the last three weeks.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses first kick McLaughlin converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of two extra-point kicks in Thursday's 17-14 win over Denver.

Impact McLaughlin was good from 52 yards -- he's four of four from 50 and beyond -- but had a 41-yard attempt blocked. While the failed attempt is technically a missed field goal, McLaughlin has been perfect on kicks that are not blocked in 2021. The Browns have suffered a spate of injuries to key skill-position players, which could break either way for a kicker. Last week, McLaughlin had just two points in a blowout loss to the Cardinals; this week, he was in position for an eight-point game, plus whatever bonus fantasy leagues might hand out for field goals from 50 yards and beyond.

Remains perfect in low-output game McLaughlin made two of two extra-point kicks and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.

Impact McLaughlin did all that he was asked to do, but Cleveland's defense got rolled by the Cardinals and the offense couldn't keep up as it did last week in a 47-42 loss to the Chargers. When needed, McLaughlin has been a steady boot for the Browns, making all nine field-goal attempts and 15 extra-point kicks. He's currently tied for 14th among placekickers with 42 points through six games.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up double-digit points McLaughlin went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.

Impact McLaughlin was perfect again and has converted all 22 kicks -- nine field goals and 13 extra-points -- through five weeks. This was McLaughlin's second double-digit effort in the last three weeks. A third-year journeyman that's kicked for six teams since entering the NFL in 2019, McLaughlin has earned permanency for the first time.

Keeps dialing it in long distance McLaughlin made two of two field-goal attempts and was not asked to kick an extra point in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Vikings.

Impact McLaughlin, who has not missed a kick yet, converted from 48 and 53 yards in the win. It was his third successful attempt from beyond the 50. The Browns lined up for an extra-point kick following their lone touchdown, but a defensive delay-of-game penalty changed their thinking. With the penalty enforced, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to go for a two-pointer from the one-yard line, and the team was successful.
