Former Pitt kicker Chris Blewitt was cut by the Washington Football Team on Tuesday after just 20 days and two games with the team. Washington simultaneously signed Joey Slye, who was recently waived by the San Francisco 49ers after a brief stint on their roster.
Blewitt struggled during his two games with Washington, going 2-for-5 on field goals. That included a 1-for-2 showing in a 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 24 and a 1-for-3 performance in a 17-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 31. Blewitt was able to knock down one extra-point attempt in each of those games, which was good enough for a 100 percent conversion rate.
