Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Will kick next week
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Hopkins will kick next Sunday against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Hopkins, who had been struggling of late, was made inactive for the Browns' Week 15 loss to the Chiefs, with Riley Patterson handling kicking duties in his place. With regard to Hopkins, Stefanski said that the team thought it was best to give the veteran kicker the week off considering his recent rough stretch.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Week 15 status uncertain
Hopkins said Friday that he has not yet been told if he will be the kicker for Week 15 against the Chiefs, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hopkins has missed six of his last nine field-goal attempts, including two last Sunday, which prompted the Browns to add kicker Riley Patterson to the practice team. After initially voicing support that Hopkins remains the team's kicker, head coach Kevin Stefanski wavered Wednesday, when he said coaches will "work through all that" when referring to which of the two placekickers will be active Sunday. Hopkins added he had a good week of practice and feels confident going into the weekend. Whether it's Hopkins or Patterson kicking Sunday, the offense often plays from behind and is not conducive to a high volume of kicker-scoring opportunities.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Status as team's kicker shaky
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that he continues to view Hopkins as the Browns' kicker, but the team "will work through" evaluating the position this week heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hopkins missed two field-goal attempts during Cleveland's 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 14, and across 13 appearances this season, he's converted just 16 of 25 attempts. The veteran's 64 percent conversion rate stands as the worst mark of his career by a significant margin. The Browns signed kicker Riley Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday, an indication that continued struggles on Hopkins' part could lead to a changing of the guard.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: No kicking change
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins remains the team's kicker, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Hopkins, who missed two field goals during Sunday's 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh, is fighting a slump this season. He's converted just 16 of 25 attempts. At this point, with Cleveland eliminated from the postseason, another kicker isn't going to solve the team's many issues, but it's likely there will be a competition next summer.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Two misses in loss
Hopkins misfired on both field-goal attempts and converted two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 14.
Hopkins missed wide left on a 38-yarder just before halftime and wasn't close on a 43-yarder he pushed on the first drive coming out of the break. If converted, those two field goals would have tied the game at 13-13. The Browns were in position to add another field goal in the fourth quarter, but coach Kevin Stefanski opted to punt, down 27-7 at the time, from the Steelers' 39-yard line. Hopkins has missed kicks in four of the last five games, going 3-for-9 during that stretch. There will most certainly be a competition next summer for the placekicking job.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: One miss in loss
Hopkins converted one of two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos in Week 13.
Hopkins missed from 47 yards out on Cleveland's opening drive and connected from 45 yards in the second quarter. The six-point night was the most in four games for Hopkins. The placekicker's 70-percent accuracy rate (16-of-23) on field goals is the least of the Browns' issues, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the team bring in competition next summer.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Makes both kicks in win
Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and only extra-point try in Thursday's 24-19 win over Pittsburgh in Week 12.
Both of Hopkins' chances came in the first half before the weather conditions turned the stadium into a shaken snow globe. The Browns went for two points after their two fourth-quarter touchdowns due to the conditions, though one was also a logical decision based on the score. The Browns' sputtering offense under Deshaun Watson earlier this season was not conducive to kicker scoring, but Hopkins' shaky season continued even as the offense improved in recent weeks with Jameis Winston under center. Hopkins ranks 27th in scoring among kickers with 56 points through 11 games played.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Bad day at office
Hopkins missed both field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra-point kick following the Browns' two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints in Week 11.
Hopkins had a day to forget, missing two kicks on consecutive drives in the first half when the game was still close. Hopkins actually missed three kicks -- a 32-yarder that was wide left -- but a Saints penalty gave the Browns another life, only to have it wasted, as Hopkins missed from 27 yards three plays later. He never had a chance to kick an extra point, as Cleveland opted to go for two points following both touchdowns. The Browns may have buyer's remorse after handing Hopkins a three-year deal in the offseason. The kicker has been successful on just 70 percent (14-of-20) of his field-goal kicks and missed two extra-point tries in 2024.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Minimal role in loss
Hopkins made one of two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers in Week 9.
Hopkins connected from 38 yards early in the second quarter and later had a 51-yard attempt blocked. He's stuck on a team whose offense has been one of the worst in the league and doesn't project to get much better.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in win
Hopkins converted all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 29-24 win over Baltimore in Week 8.
Hopkins connected from 28, 33 and 48 yards and had a season-high 11 points. The kicking game, like the entire offense, benefitted from Jameis Winston starting at quarterback in place of the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston sparked what had been a dormant offense and could lead to more kicker scoring. Hopkins has been shaky the last few weeks and already has the same number of missed kicks this season than he had over 17 games in 2023.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Shut out in Week 7 loss
Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt and only extra-point kick in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7.
Hopkins was wide left on a 49-yard field goal attempt and missed left on the extra-point try. He had a strong season for the Browns last year, but things haven't gone as smoothly for the placekicker or the Browns' offense in 2024. Hopkins has missed five kicks in seven games, the same number of misses over 15 games last season.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Contributes 10 points in loss
Hopkins converted three of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.
Hopkins' lone miss came from 52 yards, a kick made longer after Cedric Tillman lost five yards on a third-and-1 end around. The game was deadlocked at 10-10 at the time, meaning a successful Hopkins kick could have altered the trajectory of the contest. Cleveland's mess of an offense has impacted Hopkins, who averaged 8.2 points per game in 2023 but stands at just 6.2 through six contests this season.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Back on track in loss
Hopkins converted both of his field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders in Week 5.
Hopkins, who had misses in each of the last two games, nailed all five his kicks. The field goals were from 51 and 31 yards. Hopkins averaged 8.2 points per game in 2023, but the Browns' sputtering offense in 2024 has impacted his value. The kicker is averaging just 5.4 points per game through five weeks.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Costly XP miss
Hopkins successfully converted his lone field-goal attempt and one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas in Week 4.
Hopkins rebounded from his first FGA miss in Week 3 by driving one through the uprights from 56 yards away, but the extra-point fail was costly. He was wide left early in the fourth quarter, a kick that would have left the Browns one score down instead of two had it been successful. That later proved to be critical when when Deshaun Watson was sacked inside the red zone on fourth down on the team's final possession. It's unlikely the miss will impact Hopkins' job, and the 1-3 Browns have many more pressing issues to address than their placekicker.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Misses first FGA in loss
Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants in Week 3.
Hopkins was wide left on a 53-yard effort early in the third quarter, his first missed field-goal attempt of the season. The Browns opted to go for two points following their second touchdown, which limited Hopkins to one point. It was the second time in three games that Hopkins had five points or fewer in game, a reflection of an offense that's sputtered thus far.

Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Another perfect day
Hopkins was successful on all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville.
Hopkins drilled kicks of 53, 38 and 44 yards in the win. He's made all seven of his kicks and scored 15 points through the first two weeks. While with the Browns, Hopkins has converted 37 of 40 field-goal attempts (92.5 percent), including all 10 from beyond the 50.
