Jayden Daniels gets his 1st NFL win as Commanders beat Giants on 7 field goals by Austin Seibert
Austin Seibert kicked seven field goals to help the Washington Commanders beat the New York Giants 21-18SEPTEMBER 15 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Replacing York at kicker Seibert signed a contract with the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Impact Seibert will take over as Washington's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game versus the Giants in the wake of the Commanders cutting Cade York, who missed 47- and 56-yard field goal attempts in the team's Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Seibert has bounced around between five organizations and has appeared in 31 career games while converting 45 of 56 field-goal attempts (80.4 percent) and 56 of 62 extra-point tries (90.3 percent).

May have found new opportunity Seibert is expected to sign with the Commanders after the team cut Cade York on Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact Seibert was cut by the Jets during training camp and appears to be in line to receive another opportunity, this time in Washington. However, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports that head coach Dan Quinn stated more clarity on the kicker position will come on Wednesday. It's not clear if that is when Seibert will sign, and if he will be given a spot on the 53-man roster or the practice squad. It's also possible that the Commanders may bring in other competition before settling on a new kicker after York's departure.

Won't kick for Jets on Sunday Seibert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against New England.
Impact Seibert was elevated to the Jets' active roster from their practice squad Saturday, possibly as a result of Greg Zuerlein recently managing a quad injury. However, the latter wasn't listed on New York's injury report and is kicking Sunday, so the somewhat curious move to elevate Seibert will result in him being inactive for the team's season finale. Seibert will end up kicking in one game in 2023, nailing his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try against Dallas in Week 2.

Elevated to active roster The Jets elevated Siebert to the active roster Saturday.
Impact Seibert was signed to the Jets' practice squad Dec. 27. Prior to that, he suited up for one game with the Jets and converted one field goal and extra point apiece. Greg Zuerlein has not been ruled out, but he was previously dealing with a quad issue. Thus, this move could simply be for kicking insurance.

Maintains limited practice activity Seibert (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Seibert appears to have shown some improvement in his recovery from the right groin injury that kept him sidelined for last week's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks, but he may need to turn in a full practice Friday for the Lions to feel comfortable proceeding with him as their kicker Sunday at New England. Before he sustained the groin injury, Seibert's job appeared to be in question after he missed a pair of field-goal tries in a narrow Week 3 loss to the Vikings, but special teams coordinator Dave Fipp expressed confidence in the 25-year-old's ability to improve and strengthen his hold on the role once healthy, per Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. If Seibert needs more time to move past the groin injury, the Lions will promote Michael Badgley from the practice squad to handle kicking duties against the Patriots.
