Jets' Kyle Brindza: Tears Achilles

Kyle Brindza sustained a torn right Achilles injury last week, Newsday reports.Brindza, who had signed a reserve/future contract with the New York Jets earlier this month, thus faces a lengthy recovery period, and it's unclear if he'll have any chance to recover in time to kick at any point during the 2016 season. In the meantime, fellow kicker Nick Folk remains under contract with the Jets for the upcoming NFL campaign.

Bucs kicker Kyle Brindza misses two field goals and extra point in loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza was 1 for 3 on field goal attempts, successfully making a 42 yarder, and was 2 for 3 on point-after attempts in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Carolina Panthers.Brindza hit the right upright on a 29-yard attempt at the end of the first half, and then was wide left on a 43-yard try in the third quarter. The rookie kicker has likely exhausted the benefit of the doubt that his undeniably formidable leg and early success had bought him, particularly with the Bucs now 1-3 and the current regime's seat getting progressively warmer. Brindza's status will likely be made a lot clearer in the early part of the coming week.

Report: Bucs K Kyle Brindza's job in danger after awful play

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza's job may be in danger, after he missed five field goals and two PATs over the last two games, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.Brindza displayed his leg strength on a successful 58-yarder last week, but the Bucs probably can't justify keeping him around, as he's since converted just one of his last six attempts. Given how the Tampa Bay offense has played this season, the team's kicking situation can be ignored in the vast majority of formats.

Bucs kicker Kyle Brindza misses four kicks in Week 3 loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza endured a tough afternoon in the Week 3 loss against the Houston Texans, going 1 for 4 on field goal attempts and missing his sole extra-point attempt.The rookie kicker got things off to a great start with a 58-yard field goal in the first quarter, his second successful kick of 50-plus yards in as many weeks and the second longest in franchise history. His final miss was also from similar range -- a 57-yarder in the fourth quarter that came at a point when the Bucs attempted to pull within six late in the game. It was the other misfires -- attempts of 41 and 33 yards and the errant point-after attempt that hit the uprights -- that would appear to be of greater concern. The 10 points Brindza essentially left on the field proved to be the difference between a win and a loss for Tampa. Despite the tough afternoon, coach Lovie Smith spoke out in support of his young kicker on Monday. Brindza will attempt to rebound in the Bucs' Week 4 matchup against division foe Carolina.

Buccaneers K Kyle Brindza makes four FGs in win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza nailed 4 of 5 field goal attempts and also successfully converted both point-after attempts in Sunday's 26-19 victory over the Saints. Brindza drilled a first quarter 55-yard attempt for his first field goal as a pro, and then put a key 30-yarder through the uprights in the fourth quarter to extend the Bucs' lead to a touchdown. The rookie kicker also secured touchbacks on six of seven kickoffs, making him a valuable weapon in nullifying the opposing return game. The last-minute preseason decision to retain Brindza certainly appears to be paying off for the Bucs early in the season.

Brindza was named to the Lou Groza Award Watch List.Brindza had a fantastic season last year, going 20-of-26 on field goals and 38-of-38 on extra points. He also has a strong leg, making one from 53 yards. With a high-powered offense promised by some observers for 2014, look for Brindza's services to be used often this season.
