  • Falcons' Riley Patterson: Stepping in as new kicker

    Atlanta signed Patterson off Cleveland's practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    With Atlanta placingYounghoe Koo (hip) on injured reserve in a corresponding move, Patterson is poised to serve as the Falcons' kicker for the final three games of the regular season. Patterson has bounced around between five different organizations in 2024, having spent time in training camp with the Jaguars and Commanders before making his season debut in Week 9, when the Jets signed him as a one-game replacement for Greg Zuerlein (knee). Patterson then landed with Atlanta's practice squad before getting cut earlier in December and catching on with the Browns, who elevated him from their practice squad last week to replace the struggling Dustin Hopkins as their kicker in a 21-7 loss to the Chiefs. With the Browns having since reaffirmed their commitment to Hopkins, Patterson will head back to Atlanta and will make his third appearance of the season this Sunday against the Giants.

  • Riley Patterson: Returns to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.

    Patterson served as the Browns' kicker in Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs due to the recent struggles of Dustin Hopkins. He made his lone extra-point try, but the expectation is that Hopkins will kick for Cleveland in Week 16 against the Bengals, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Makes lone kick in loss

    Patterson converted his lone extra-point kick and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.

    The Browns made kicker Dustin Hopkins, who had missed six of his last nine FGA, inactive for the week and elevated Patterson from the practice squad. Following Sunday's game, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins would return as the kicker for Week 16, per Daniel Oyefusi of EPSN.com. The coach thought it was best for Hopkins to get a week off amid his struggles.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Slated to kick Sunday

    Patterson is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Patterson was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the contest, and he'll handle the Browns' kicking duties Sunday, with Dustin Hopkins -- who has missed six of his last nine field-goal attempts -- having been made inactive. In his lone regular-season appearance, while he was with the Jets, Patterson made all three of his extra-point tries with no field-goal attempts in a Week 9 win over the Texans.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Set to kick for CLE in Week 15

    The Browns elevated Patterson on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Patterson signed with Cleveland's practice squad Tuesday and appears set to take over placekicking duties for the club. As a result, it's likely that Dustin Hopkins -- who has made just 16 of 25 field-goal attempts this season -- will part ways with the Browns. Patterson has one appearance under his belt this year, making all three extra-point tries with no field-goal attempts Week 9 against Houston while he was with the Jets.

  • Riley Patterson: Joins Browns' practice squad

    The Browns signed Patterson to their practice squad Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    The addition of Patterson is a sign that Dustin Hopkins' job could be in jeopardy. Hopkins, who missed two field goals in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, has now converted at just a 64 percent clip for the season, by far the worst rate of his career. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Hopkins will remain the club's kicker for now, but Patterson looks like the next man up if Cleveland decides to make a change. Patterson previously spent time with Cleveland in 2023 when Hopkins sustained a hamstring injury late in the season. Over stops with the Lions, Jaguars, Browns and Jets during his four-year NFL career, Patterson has knocked down 59 of his 67 field-goal attempts (88.1 percent).

  • Riley Patterson: Let go by Atlanta

    Atlanta cut Patterson from the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Patterson was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Nov. 29 to provide kicking insurance in case Younghoe Koo was unable to suit up against the Chargers this past Sunday. Patterson was elevated to the active roster for that game, but ended up being inactive as Koo was able to overcome a hip injury and play. Patterson will have the chance to sign with another team in need of a placekicker.

  • Riley Patterson: Back with practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Patterson was inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers after operating as a safety option for Younghoe Koo throughout the week. Koo was dealing with a hip injury but was ultimately able to play. Patterson will now return to the practice unit, but it's unclear how long he may stick around Atlanta.

  • Falcons' Riley Patterson: Inactive for Week 13

    Patterson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Patterson was added to the Falcons' practice squad Friday -- then subsequently elevated to the active roster Saturday -- to provide insurance for Atlanta in case Younghoe Koo wasn't able to play Sunday due to a hip injury. Koo is active for Sunday's contest, so Patterson's services are not needed.

  • Falcons' Riley Patterson: Gets elevated for Week 13

    The Falcons elevated Patterson from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's clash against the Chargers, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Patterson just joined Atlanta's practice squad Friday after being cut by the Jets earlier in November. He had played in one game for New York, making all three of his extra-point tries while not attempting a field goal in Week 9 versus Houston. Patterson may just be kicking insurance for the Falcons in Sunday's contest, as primary kicker Younghoe Koo (hip) logged a full practice session Friday and is expected to be able to suit up.

  • Riley Patterson: Joins Falcons practice squad

    Patterson signed with Atlanta's practice squad Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Patterson offers the Falcons insurance ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers after kicker Younghoe Koo popped up on the injury report Thursday with a hip injury that limited Koo's practice participation. Atlanta released safety Dane Cruikshank from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Patterson would be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game if Koo is unable to play.

  • Riley Patterson: Cut by New York

    The Jets waived Patterson on Friday.

    Kicking in his first game for New York last Thursday night against the Texans, Patterson made all three of his extra points but didn't attempt a field goal. The Jets apparently felt it wasn't good enough and decided to sign Anders Carlson to the practice squad Friday. Greg Zuerlein (knee) remains on injured reserve for at least three more games.

  • Jets' Riley Patterson: Doesn't miss in Jets debut

    Patterson didn't attempt a field goal but made all three of his PAT tries in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.

    Making his Jets debut after Greg Zuerlein (knee) was placed on injured reserve, Patterson wasn't called upon to do much, but it was refreshing nonetheless for Jets fans to see every kick connect after Zuerlein had at least one miss in five of the previous six games. Patterson's first PAT went in off the upright. The former Lions, Jaguars and Browns kicker will next kick in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

  • Jets' Riley Patterson: Signed to active roster

    The Jets signed Patterson to their 53-man roster Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    With Greg Zuerlein (knee) landing on injured reserve Wednesday and thus set to miss at least four games, the Jets had added Patterson and Spencer Shrader to their practice squad. The Jets have decided to give Patterson the first chance to replace Zuerlein as their kicker, beginning with Thursday's game against the Texans. Patterson has previously made 39 appearances at the NFL level over the last three seasons, converting 88.1 percent of his field-goal tries across stops with the Lions, Jaguars and Browns.

  • Riley Patterson: Finds new opportunity

    Patterson signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Patterson has been on the free agent market since getting waived by the Commanders in August. The 25-year-old kicked for the Lions last season, appearing in 13 games and making 88 percent of his FGAs. He'll spend Wednesday competing with fellow practice squad signing Spencer Shrader to see who will kick for the Jets on Thursday against the Texans, as Greg Zuerlein (knee) is not expected to play.
