The Dominik Eberle era in Detroit lasted all of one afternoon. Detroit’s replacement kicker for Week 4 will not get a chance to redeem himself after his rough initial outing.
The Lions waived Eberle on Tuesday, two days after Eberle missed two extra points in the team’s 48-45 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He also launched a kickoff out of bounds that set up Seattle with good field position.

Eberle was filling in for the injured Austin Seibert, who could return for the Week 5 matchup in New England. The Lions did work out four free agent kickers on Tuesday but did not immediately sign any of them.
The four kickers who worked out in Allen Park:
- Sam Ficken
- Lirim Hajrullahu
- Brian Johnson
- Andrew Mevis
