Heads to COVID list The Jaguars placed McLaughlin on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact McLaughlin's placement on the list comes after he tested positive for the COVID-19 or was deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive. If it's the latter case, he could have enough time to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols and play Sunday against the Browns. McLaughlin has served as Jacksonville's kicker for the past two weeks, making all five of his kicks (three field goals, two extra points).

Supplies only points McLaughlin made his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

Impact The 24-year-old converted from 41 yards out to cap Jacksonville's opening drive, which ended up being the team's only points of the afternoon against a strong Pittsburgh defense. The game against the Browns next week certainly provides a better matchup, but the inconsistency of the Jaguars offense severely limits any fantasy potential. McLaughlin has made both PATs and all three field-goal attempts through two games this season.

Perfect in Jags debut McLaughlin converted both field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Packers.

Impact The 24-year-old performed well in his first game for Jacksonville, especially given the 20-plus mph winds Sunday at Lambeau Field. McLaughlin converted field goals from 52 and 31 yards, both of which gave the Jaguars the lead at the time. Aldrick Rosas is on the practice squad and will have his suspension lifted after next week's matchup with Pittsburgh, but McLaughlin should earn a longer look from Jacksonville if he puts together another strong performance.

Ready for Sunday's contest Mclaughlin had his roster exemption lifted Saturday, moving him to the 53-man roster for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

Impact McLaughlin is expected to be the Jaguars' starting kicker Sunday. The 24-year-old bounced around last season, playing for three different teams. He connected on 18 of 23 field-goal attempts (78 percent) and all 26 extra points in 2019, and he could remain as Jacksonville's kicker for the rest of the season with strong performances.

Impact Jacksonville signed McLaughlin to its roster Tuesday, but because he's arriving from a different organization (Minnesota), he won't be permitted to take part in team activities for a few days. McLaughlin thus will miss each of the Jaguars' three practices this week, but assuming he arrives in Green Bay this weekend and clears the necessary protocols, he should serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Packers. Punter Logan Cooke will practice placekicking and kickoffs this week in the event McLaughlin is unable to gain clearance for Sunday.

Jaguars sign Chase McLaughlin as kicking carousel continues

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed kicker Chase McLaughlin off Minnesota’s practice squad and expect him to play at Green Bay this weekend

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Set to kick for Jacksonville The Jaguars signed McLaughlin off the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact McLaughlin won't immediately count against Jacksonville's 53-man roster while he completes COVID-19 testing and screening protocols upon joining a new organization, but the Jaguars expected to have him available to serve as their kicker Sunday in Green Bay. With Jacksonville recently shutting top kicker Josh Lambo (hip) down for the season, McLaughlin is likely to kick for the team for at least two games before potentially ceding his role to practice-squad member Aldrick Rosas (suspension), who will be eligible to rejoin the roster Week 12. McLaughlin saw action with the Colts, Chargers and 49ers in 2019, converting 18 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 26 of his extra-point tries.

Colts' new kicker constructing new chapter as opener nears

Rodrigo Blankenship has some big shoes to fill for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Jacksonville

SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Loses competition with Blankenship The Colts will waive McLaughlin, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact McLaughlin filled in for the injured Adam Vinatieri down the stretch last year, but he was beaten out for the Colts' 2020 kicking job by rookie Rodrigo Blankenship.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Slight setback in kicking battle Rodrigo Blankenship outperformed McLaughlin in Saturday's scrimmage, making six of seven field goals, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Blankenship made kicks of 33, 37, 41, 52, 56 and 57 yards and missed from 48. McLaughlin made four of seven kicks, converting from 33, 37, 41 and 57 yards and missing from 48, 52 and 56 yards. McLaughlin had performed better than Blankenship in the first scrimmage, so the battle for the placekicking job remains close. However, McLaughlin is still the favorite as a veteran since he made five of six field-goal attempts and all 11 PATs in his stint with the Colts last season.

AUGUST 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Lead in kicking job battle McLaughlin is 8-for-8 in field goal attempts in Monday's scrimmage at Lucas Oil Stadium and appears to have a lead over rookie Rodrigo Blankenship, The Athletic reports.

Impact Blankenship was 5-of-8 in field goal attempts with misses from 39, 44 and 53 yards. McLaughlin as a veteran looks likely to win the job, but the team may not announce the starting placekicker until shortly before Week 1.

AUGUST 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Performing well so far McLaughlin has done well in the Colts' kicking competition thus far, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact McLaughlin is competing with rookie Rodrigo Blankenship to replace future Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri ahead of the upcoming campaign. Despite being pitted against Blankenship, who joins the Colts after a prolific college career at Georgia, McLaughlin has helped mentor the undrafted kicker early in camp. According to coach Frank Reich, both players have fared well while being tested in a variety of ways thus far, so it'll be worthwhile to monitor whether one kicker gains a leg up in the coming weeks.
