On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions released their initial 53-man roster and as predicted, they cut both of their kickers.
Well, on Wednesday, the Lions added a kicker to their roster as they claimed Austin Seibert off waivers.
Seibert, who is 24, was originally selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 5th round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
In 21 career NFL games, Seibert has connected on 31 of 38 field-goal attempts.
The Lions have their kicker: they claimed Austin Seibert off of waivers.
