CHASE MCLAUGHLIN NEWS

Handling kicking duties McLaughlin is in position to handle the Browns' kicking duties with Cody Parkey headed to IR with a quad injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact That said, it's quite plausible that the Browns could bring another kicker aboard to challenge McLaughlin, but for now the 25-year-old, who's had regular-season stints with a handful of teams over the last two campaigns, will work behind Cleveland's Baker Mayfield-led offense. It's an assignment that could result in fantasy relevance for McLaughlin, if he ends up cementing it.

Impact McLaughlin has converted all his field-goal and extra-point attempts this preseason, including a 49-yard field goal with plenty to spare in Sunday's win, and all but one kickoff has resulted in a touchback. The lone kick returned Sunday was from two yards inside the end zone and ended up with the Giants at their own 13-yard line. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was not sure how Parkey's injury occurred or the severity. Parkey is still considered the favorite to win the job, but obviously the injury will be a factor in the coming weeks.

Lands in Big Apple The Jets claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the Jaguars on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact McLaughlin missed two kicks in last week's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, leading to the Jaguars cutting him Saturday. He could land on his feet with a starting role in New York. In this past Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks, Jets kicker Sergio Castillo missed three of four field-goal tries, and his tenure with the team is likely coming to an end. In turn, McLaughlin likely will start in Sunday's game against the Rams as long as Sam Ficken (groin) doesn't return from IR.

Impact McLaughlin missed two costly kicks in last week's 27-24 overtime loss to the Vikings, leading to yet another rotation for Jacksonville's kickers. The Jags signed Aldrick Rosas to the active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll be the team's starting kicker Sunday against the Titans. If McLaughlin clears waivers, he has a good chance to revert to the team's practice squad.

Misses two kicks McLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Things got off to a rough start Sunday as the 24-year-old missed the PAT on Jacksonville's opening touchdown, and Vikings kicker Dan Bailey followed with two missed PATs of his own. McLaughlin then came up short on a desperation 62-yard field goal at the end of regulation, sending the game to overtime. He's 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in three games this season.
