Dominik Eberle: Cut by Detroit
The Lions waived Eberle on Tuesday.
Signed off the practice squad last Saturday, Eberle served as the Lions' kicker in an eventual 48-45 loss to the Seahawks in Week 4 while top option Austin Seibert (groin) was sidelined. Even in the NFL's highest-scoring game of the season, Eberle came away with only five points, as he missed two of his four extra-point tries while knocking down a 49-yard field-goal attempt. Seibert's status is uncertain for the Lions' Week 5 game at New England, but the team evidently didn't deem Eberle a dependable fill-in option if a replacement kicker is required again.

Lions' Dominik Eberle: Shaky 2022 debut
Eberle converted his only field-goal attempt and two of four PATs during Sunday's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks.
It is hard to be impressed with the fill-in kicker stepping in to convert a 49-yard field goal when Eberle also missed two extra points and sent a kickoff out of bounds. Even if Austin Seibert (groin) doesn't suit up for Week 5, Eberle is uncertain to return for another game with the Lions.

Lions' Dominik Eberle: Set to start Sunday
The Lions signed Eberle to the active roster Saturday.
Eberle is set to fill in for Austin Seibert, who was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a groin injury. The Lions are missing a number of key offensive pieces, including D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle), so don't expect the offense to generate enough opportunities for Eberle to be a fantasy asset Week 4.

Dominik Eberle: Waived by Green Bay
Eberle was waived by the Packers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Green Bay initially brought in Eberle to provide an extra leg this offseason behind starting kicker Mason Crosby. However, Eberle now has been replaced by undrafted rookie Gabe Brkic, whom the Packers claimed off waivers in a corresponding move Monday. Eberle played one game as a fill-in for Ka'imi Fairbairn with Houston last season, converting two of three field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point attempts, and should have a chance to compete for a similar emergency backup role elsewhere this offseason.

In Houston's 41-29 win over the Chargers, Eberle converted two of his three field-goal attempts and all five extra-point kicks. Fairbairn cleared the NFL's COVID-19-related protocols Wednesday, so even if Eberle gains clearance before Sunday's game against the 49ers, he won't be added back to Houston's roster.

Texans' Dominik Eberle: Productive as fill-in
Eberle converted two of three field-goal attempts and all five extra-point kicks in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.

Dominik Eberle: Could fill in for Fairbairn
Eberle could be elevated from the practice squad for Week 16 to serve as the Texans' kicker in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Houston placed Ka'ami Fairbairn on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, tentatively leaving the Texans without a kicker on the active roster. Eberle, who agreed to a deal earlier Thursday to join Houston's practice squad, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, thus looks like the top candidate to handle kicking duties this weekend. Fairbairn is vaccinated, so he'll have a chance to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol if he's asymptomatic.
