Austin Seibert Waived, Michael Badgley To Kick For Lions
2 years agoThe Detroit Lions waived kicker Austin Seibert (groin) on Friday, so Michael Badgley will do the kicking for the team in Week 5 against the New England Patriots. Seibert missed last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks and missed three of his five field-goal attempts in his first three games this year. The Lions are moving on to Badgley, starting this Sunday against New England. The 27-year-old made all four of his field-goal attempts with the Chicago Bears last week in the loss to the New York Giants, and now he'll try to stick with Detroit. The Lions offense has surprisingly been one of the best in the league through four weeks, but fantasy managers should be looking for other kicking options in Week 5.
