Staying with Jets
The Jets signed Seibert to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Seibert started the season on the Jets' practice squad. He was called up for Week 2 against the Cowboys with Greg Zuerlein ruled out with a groin injury, and Seibert made his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and coverted his lone PAT attempt. He was briefly on the Saints' practice squad before returning to New York to end the year. Seibert will have the opportunity to compete for the Jets' kicking duties in 2024.

Won't kick Sunday
Seibert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against New England.
Analysis: Seibert was elevated to the Jets' active roster from their practice squad Saturday, possibly as a result of Greg Zuerlein recently managing a quad injury. However, the latter wasn't listed on New York's injury report and is kicking Sunday, so the somewhat curious move to elevate Seibert will result in him being inactive for the team's season finale. Seibert will end 2023 having kicked in one game, nailing his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try against Dallas in Week 2.

Elevated to active roster
The Jets elevated Siebert to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Seibert was signed to the Jets' practice squad Dec. 27. Prior to that, he suited up for one game with the Jets and converted one field goal and extra point apiece. Greg Zuerlein has not been ruled out, but he was previously dealing with a quad issue. Thus, this move could simply be for kicking insurance.

Latches on with New York
The Jets signed Seibert to their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Seibert kicked for the Jets back in September against Dallas, drilling his lone field goal and only extra point. He'll be a candidate to kick Thursday night against Cleveland with Greg Zuerlein dealing with a quad injury.

Cut by New Orleans
The Saints cut Seibert from their practice squad Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Seibert was brought in by New Orleans just over a week ago, as Blake Grupe was dealing with an undisclosed issue ahead of the team's Week 13 contest. Grupe was able to suit up in Week 13's affair, and he appears to be past whatever issue he had been tending to, so it's not surprising that the Saints have decided to move on from Seibert.

Joining Saints' practice squad
Seibert will sign with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports
Analysis: Seibert was one of several kickers that tried out for the Saints on Tuesday as the team prepares for the possibility of Blake Grupe (undisclosed) being unable to kick Sunday against the Lions. The 27-year-old Siebert previously made his lone appearance of the season with the Jets in Week 2, making his sole field-goal and extra-point tries.

Headed to New Orleans
Seibert is expected to sign with the Saints' practice squad, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Seibert will head to New Orleans where he will serve as backup to Blake Grupe. The 27-year-old was one of one on both field-goal attempts and extra-points tries during one game played with the Jets earlier this season.

Cut from practice squad
Seibert was let go from the Jets' practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Seibert joined the Jets' practice squad Sept 16. He filled in for Greg Zuerlein (groin) in Week 2 against the Cowboys, and Seibert made both of his kicks (a PAT try and a 34-yard field goal attempt). He'll look for another opportunity once he clears waivers.

Returns to practice squad
Seibert reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Seibert connected on his only two kicks during Sundays' loss to the Cowboys - a 34-yard field goal and an extra point - while playing in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin). With Zuerlein's status for Week 3 against the Patriots still up in the air, Seibert could be the subject of another promotion ahead of that game.

Fills in for Zuerlein
Seibert made his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and converted his lone PAT try in Sunday's 30-10 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Seibert didn't get many opportunities as the Zach Wilson-led Jets offense was stifled by Dallas' ferocious defense, but he made both of his kicks when called upon. The kicker signed to the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster Sunday with Greg Zuerlein (groin) unavailable. If Zuerlein sits out again in Week 3 against the Patriots, Seibert should continue to fill in.

Picked up by Jets
Seibert signed with the Jets' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster Saturday, and he's expected to kick in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin) in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Seibert kicked in three games for the Lions last season. He went 3-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-12 on extra points. The veteran has had also had stints with the Browns and Bengals. He has mainly been a fill-in option for teams since starting 16 games in Cleveland during his rookie campaign in 2019. Seibert will revert back to the practice squad Monday.

Waived by Detroit
The Lions waived Seibert (groin) on Friday.
Analysis: Seibert won a preseason competition against Riley Patterson but then missed two field goals over the first three games and sat out Week 4 with a groin injury. Patterson now is with the Jaguars, while Michael Badgley is set to fill in for Seibert and attached to a Detroit offense that's been surprisingly productive, despite dealing with numerous injuries.

Maintains limited practice activity
Seibert (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Seibert appears to have shown some improvement in his recovery from the right groin injury that kept him sidelined for last week's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks, but he may need to turn in a full practice Friday for the Lions to feel comfortable proceeding with him as their kicker Sunday at New England. Before he sustained the groin injury, Seibert's job appeared to be in question after he missed a pair of field-goal tries in a narrow Week 3 loss to the Vikings, but special teams coordinator Dave…read more

Logs limited practice
Seibert (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Seibert didn't practice last week due to the injury and was ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The 25-year-old's status appears to have improved, however, given his ability to work back into Detroit's first practice of Week 5. Seibert converted three of five field-goal tries and all 12 of his PATs over the first three weeks, and he should see plenty of scoring opportunities in the Lions' prolific offense this season.

Won't play this week
Seibert (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Seibert missed practice all week and now will be out for the Week 4 contest. The Lions likely will call up Dominik Eberle from the practice squad, and while the matchup with Seattle is favorable, the equation also involves an inexperienced kicker whose team has multiple key injuries on offense (D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown both are out this week).

Sitting for practice again
Seibert (groin) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Seibert's right groin injury will keep him off the practice field for the second day in a row, but the Lions aren't yet closing the door on him being available to kick in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. In fact, special teams coordinator Dave Fipp told Kyle Meinke of MLive.com earlier Thursday that he "feels good about where [Seibert] is at" at this stage of the week, even after the kicker missed 48- and 56-yard field-goal attempts in last week's loss to the Vikings. Detroit has Dominik…read more

Team sounds optimistic
Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Thursday that he "feels good" about Seibert's (groin) chances of being available for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Seibert missed two long field-goal tries during the Lions' Week 3 loss to the Vikings and didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, but the team seems to be optimistic about his chances of suiting up Week 4. The kicker has two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

Sidelined due to groin injury
Seibert didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Seibert missed 48-yard and 56-yard field-goal attempts during the Lions' Week 3 loss to Minnesota, but it's unclear if he was dealing with his current groin injury during the contest. His absence Wednesday is certainly concerning, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for Week 4.

Misses two from long range
Seibert converted one of three field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Seibert had plenty of chances to put together a strong fantasy outing, but he missed a 48-yard try early on before pushing wide a 56-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. With that said, the Lions offense remained productive for a third straight week, and it bodes well for Seibert's future prospects that Detroit is consistently getting into scoring position. Up next is a Week 4 home matchup against Seattle within the indoor confines of Ford Field.

Totals 10 points
Seibert converted both field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.
Analysis: Seibert again handled plenty of PATs as Detroit's offense stayed hot, but this time he also got a couple of field-goal attempts to buoy his fantasy output. Given the unlikelihood the Lions will maintain the red-zone efficiency they've displayed through the first two weeks of the season, Seibert could be in for big fantasy days on occasions when Detroit falters in that area. Up next is a Week 3 road matchup in the indoor confines of Minnesota's U.S. Bank Stadium.

Converts five PATs
Seibert converted five of five PATs during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: The good news for Seibert is that the Lions offense looks like it could be improved upon last year. The bad news is that the good news ultimately resulted in zero field-goal attempts Sunday since Detroit was able to find the end zone whenever it got into scoring position. However, its offensive scoring efficiency figures to vary most weeks, so better days should be ahead for Seibert from a production standpoint. Up next is a Week 2 home matchup against Washington.

Back in full Thursday
Seibert (groin) was listed as a full participant during the Lions' practice Thursday.
Analysis: Seibert appears to have gotten over a right groin issue that limited him during Detroit's practice Wednesday. The fifth-year kicker connected on 10 of his 12 field-goal tries over six games with the team in 2021. Seibert is now set to reprise his starting placekicker duties beginning with Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Eagles.

Limited Wednesday
Seibert (groin) was a limited participant during the Lions' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Seibert appears to have picked up a right groin issue after winning out in Detroit's starting kicker competition over Riley Patterson this preseason. The 25-year-old converted 15 of his 17 total kicking attempts before missing the Lions' final nine games with a hip injury last season. Seibert's status will be worth monitoring ahead of the team's Week 1 matchup against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Has edge in kicking competition
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Seibert is a "tick" ahead of Riley Patterson in the kicking battle, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis: A hip injury placed Seibert on injured reserve midway through the 2021 campaign, and the Oklahoma product had to watch as Patterson set the Lions' franchise rookie record for kicking accuracy down the stretch. However, now that he's healthy, it appears the place-kicking gig is Seibert's to lose during training camp. Last season, the fourth-year kicker went 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 5-for-5 on extra-point tries, with his only misses coming from beyond 40 yards.

Working with starters
Seibert has been working with the first-team offense during OTAs, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: A hip injury planted Seibert on injured reserve midway through the 2021 season, and the 2019 fifth-round draft pick proceeded to watch as Riley Patterson set the Lions franchise rookie record for kicking accuracy down the stretch. However, it not only appears that Seibert is healthy again, but that he has also been working ahead of Patterson during early offseason practices.

Done for '21 season
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Seibert (hip) won't return from injured reserve this season, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Seibert is first eligible to return from IR this weekend against the Vikings after missing the requisite three games with a right hip injury, but since he's not even in condition to resume practicing at this stage, the Lions don't have confidence he'll be able to make it back before Week 18. While Seibert has been sidelined, the Lions have used three kickers in as many games.

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

The Lions reinstated Seibert (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: After testing positive for the virus Sept. 23, Seibert proceeded to miss the Lions' next 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

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

Waived by Bengals
Seibert was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: 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 and should be in the mix for teams in need of a kicker at some point during the season.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Unlikely to win kicking job
Seibert isn't expected to win Cincinnati's kicking job, Laurel Pfahler of the Journal-News reports.
Analysis: The Bengals added Evan McPherson in the 2021 NFL Draft, and he appears poised to take over as the team's starting kicker, leaving Seibert on the outside looking in. Seibert appeared in four contests with the Bengals last season, hitting six of eight field-goal attempts and all eight extra points.

Knocks home seven kicks
Seibert made three of four field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Seibert missed a 49-yarder in the second quarter, but he drilled kicks from 35, 36 and 48 yards to close out the game. Through three games with the Bengals, Seibert has connected on five of seven field-goal tries and all eight extra-point attempts. Whether that's enough to usurp Randy Bullock for the starting kicker role in 2021 remains to be seen.

Starting kicker once again
Seibert will be the Bengals' starting kicker in Sunday's game against the Texans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Randy Bullock will be a health scratch while Seibert makes his third straight start. Over the previous two games, Seibert has made two of three field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries.

Knocks home five kicks
Seibert connected on two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Monday's 27-17 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Seibert made kicks from 33 and 34 yards, but he sent a 55-yarder wide right. The Bengals continue to give Seibert a trial run at kicker while leaving incumbent Randy Bullock on the bench. With an adequate Week 15 performance in hand, Seibert should remain in the starting role this Sunday against the Texans.

Week 15 assignment confirmed
Seibert is slotted in as the Bengals kicker for a Monday night matchup against the Steelers with Randy Bullock (coach's decision) inactive for Week 15, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Seibert got the nod last week against the Cowboys as well while Bullock was labeled a healthy scratch. The Oklahoma product nailed the lone opportunity of his Bengals debut, converting a point-after attempt. In a more plentiful sample, Seibert went 25-for-30 on field-goal attempts in his 17 appearances for Cleveland between 2019 and 2020.

Will get another start
Seibert will get the nod as the Bengals' starting kicker Week 15 against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Bengals know what they have in Randy Bullock, essentially a league-average kicker. It follows that they should see what they have in Seibert.

Makes lone kick Sunday
Seibert made his only kick -- an extra-point attempt -- in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Bengals took three trips to the red zone in the first half, scoring once but turning the ball over twice. Seibert connected on the extra point for the team's lone touchdown, but he wasn't trotted out again in his Bengals debut. Randy Bullock is still on the active roster, but he was a healthy scratch. Seibert figures to get another test run in next week's game against the Steelers.

Takes over kicking duties
Seibert will handle kicking duties Sunday against the Cowboys with regular kicker Randy Bullock (coach's decision) inactive, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old missed a PAT and a 41-yard field goal in the season opener and hasn't seen the field since, but he'll receive another opportunity Sunday. Bullock is 21-for-26 on field-goal attempts and 24-for-25 on PATs this season with four missed kicks the past three games, so the Browns want to see if they have a better option already on the roster. Seibert may not have much of a leash given his struggles Week 1, but a strong performance should provide him a longer look as the Bengals'…read more

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

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

Promptly cut by Cleveland
The Browns waived Seibert on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: It was not a good day for Seibert, the second-year kicker who 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.
Analysis: 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 Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, adding insurance for Seibert.
Analysis: Parkey kicked for the Browns in 2016, successfully executing 20 of 25 field-goal attempts, including a long of 51 yards, and going 20-for-21 on 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Misses XPA in Week 17 loss
Seibert made his lone field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 33-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 17.
Analysis: Seibert missed an extra-point kick for the second straight week and had five misses all season, finishing with a lower percentage on extra points (85.7 percent) than field goals (86.2). He recorded 105 points to rank 16th in kicker scoring. The 2019 fifth-round pick survived a shaky preseason to post respectable numbers, but it would not be surprising if the Browns brought in competition at next year's training camp.

Quiet in Week 16 loss
Seibert converted his lone field-goal attempt and missed his only extra-point try in Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Ravens in Week 16.
Analysis: After missing an extra point wide left in the second quarter, Seibert nailed a 47-yard field goal in the third quarter. The Browns scored one touchdown after that, but head coach Freddie Kitchens eschewed the kicking point and went for a two-point conversion that failed. With the field goal, the rookie kicker reached the 100-point mark, which ranks him 15th among placekickers.

Misses fourth FGA
Seibert made one of two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 38-24 loss to Arizona in Week 15.
Analysis: Seibert, who has proven to be an accurate kicker during his rookie season, made one kick from 44 yards but missed from 45 yards early in the fourth quarter. The kick would have pulled the Browns within one score. He's made 23 of 27 (85 percent) field-goal tries, and the 27 attempts ranks tied for 12th in the NFL.

Shows leg in Week 14 win
Seibert made two of two field-goal attempts and three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals in Week 14.
Analysis: Seibert entered the game with one unsuccessful attempt from beyond the 50, but he proved his leg on a 53-yard conversion in the third quarter that gave Cleveland an eight-point lead. He later added insurance with a 31-yarder. Showing the leg to hit from outside the 50 -- it had plenty of distance and was straight down the middle -- was the rookie's final box to check. Seibert continues to chug along, making 88 percent (22 of 25) of his field-goal tries and ranking 12th among kickers with 91…read more

Scores seven points in loss
Seibert converted two of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick for seven points in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers in Week 13.
Analysis: Seibert was successful from 31 and 34 yards, but the offense struggled to get into scoring position. The Steelers thwarted several possessions with five sacks, limiting the Browns' forays into Pittsburgh territory. The rookie kicker, who has made 20 of 23 FGA, will prepare for Week 14 against the Bengals and their 24th-ranked scoring defense.

Rides productive offense in Week 12
Seibert made two of three field-goal attempts and five extra-point kicks for 11 points in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins in Week 12.
Analysis: Cleveland's offense has sputtered for much of the season, but it was in top form against the lowly Dolphins, scoring on seven of its 10 possessions (not counting a last-minute kneel-down). Seibert went along for the ride, posting his second-highest point total of the season. His lone miss was a 46-yard field-goal attempt that he pushed wide right, which was his third straight miss, before he converted kicks from 40 and 26 yards. The rookie now ranks 13th among placekickers with 75 points…read more

Has first FG misses of season
Seibert missed both of his field-goal attempts and made all three extra-point kicks in Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.
Analysis: Seibert, who made all of his field-goal attempts through the first nine games, saw his perfect streak end Thursday. He missed from 45 and 50 yards, both wide to the right. The first miss, the 45-yarder, can be blamed on the snap/hold, but the second one was all Seibert and wasn't close. It was his first attempt this season from beyond 50. He's had potential every week given the Browns' poor execution in the red zone, but Thursday was not a good night for the rookie.

Misses long extra point
Seibert made 2-of-2 field-goal attempts and 1-of-2 extra-point kicks in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills in Week 10.
Analysis: Seibert, who remains a perfect 16-of-16 on three-pointers, could not be faulted on the missed extra point. After Cleveland scored on its opening drive via a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry, the receiver was penalized for taunting, and Seibert missed a 48-yard extra-point attempt. The missed extra point loomed large until the final minutes, but the Browns overcame red-zone woes to score a winning touchdown on their final drive. The rookie ranks 18th in scoring (16th among placekickers)…read more

Remains perfect
Seibert converted all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick for 13 points in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Cleveland's red-zone offense was once again shaky, as the Browns notched just one touchdown in five trips and settled for field goals three times. Seibert connected on kicks from 30, 27 and 30 yards, while he added a fourth from 39 yards on a drive that did not reach the red zone. The rookie has made all 14 of his tries this season, but he hasn't had many opportunities for additional scoring. The Browns' underperforming offense not only bogs down in the red zone, it ranks 25th overall with 16…read more
