Though the Cleveland Browns don’t have a large need at backup kicker due to Dustin Hopkins they have lost their fallback plan. The Rams are signing kicker Lucas Havrisik from the Browns practice squad to their active roster.
Havrisik spent the 2022 season with special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone in Indianapolis on the team’s practice squad. He hasn’t attempted any regular season kicks after going undrafted out of Arizona last year.
The Browns are finally in a good position to not stress about kicker so this move doesn’t really affect the team in a major way. The team is potentially looking to add a quarterback or running back but I would also expect they add a kicker to the practice squad.
Bubba Ventrone will likely have a say in who the team brings in as he has shown already that he was a high-quality hire. Stay tuned to BrownsWire as the team will likely make more moves this week.
