Cody Parkey, of Bears ‘Double Doink’ fame, will be the Browns’ new kicker, a report says

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns are waiving kicker Austin Seibert after he missed an extra point and a field goal in Sunday’s season-opening loss in Baltimore, a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press.

Seibert, who clanged his extra point off the left upright and pushed a 41-yard field-goal try to the right in the Browns’ 38-6 defeat, will be replaced by Cody Parkey, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not made the move official.

Parkey is best known for missing a 43-yard field goal for the Chicago Bears in the closing seconds of a playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2018 season.
