Just a day or so ago, it was reported that Dustin Hopkins, the Redskins’ up-and-down kicker, would be out for a little while with a hip ailment. But now, it appears the injury is a bit more severe. Hopkins will be out for the rest of the season to recover, per J.P. Finlay of NBCSN.
The Redskins expectedly worked out a number of kickers on Tuesday, while releasing Joel Stave from the practice squad in a coinciding move. Among the kickers who tried out for the team was veteran Mike Nugent. Along with him, the team also tried out Marshall Koehn, Andrew Franks, and Nick Rose as younger options.
