Washington Signs Brian Johnson
3 years agoThe Washington Football Team signed kicker Brian Johnson off the Chicago Bears practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. Washington's previous kicker, Joey Slye (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve and will miss at least the next three weeks after suffering a hamstring strain in the Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson will now be asked to handle Washington's kicking duties for however long Slye is out, starting in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 22-year-old made all eight of his field-goal tries and all five of his extra points while serving as the New Orleans Saints kicker from Weeks 7 to 10. Despite Johnson's perfect mark so far this season, he shouldn't be a streaming option for fantasy managers.
