Washington released Hopkins on Wednesday.

The Football Team signed Chris Blewitt off the practice squad in a corresponding move, and he'll take over as Washington's kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Green Bay. Hopkins' time in the nation's capital comes to an end after six-plus seasons, with the 31-year-old converting on 84 percent of his field-goal attempts and 94.2 percent of his extra-point tries over that stretch. Hopkins had knocked down a respectable 12 of 14 field-goal attempts in 2021, but his 42-yard misfire in the third quarter of last week's loss to the Chiefs was enough for Washington to close the book on him and move on with Blewitt.
