Off COVID list, signs futures deal Cleveland signed Blewitt (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract after restoring him to the practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Impact Blewitt was signed to the Browns' practice squad at the end of December after their starting kicker, Chase McLaughlin, was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. However, Blewitt never made an appearance for Cleveland and eventually landed in protocols himself. He appeared in two contests this season -- both with Washington -- and connected on two of five field-goal attempts (two were blocked) and both of his extra-point tries.

Time up in Washington Washington waived Blewitt on Tuesday.
Impact Signed Week 7 replace Dustin Hopkins as the Football Team's kicker, Blewitt's stint in D.C. lasted just two games. He converted on only two of five field-goal attempts -- two of which were blocked -- and went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. Even though one of his conversions was from 52 yards out, Blewitt didn't do enough to keep his job coming out of Washington's Week 9 bye. The Football Team signed Joey Slye to take over as their kicker heading into Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Has two kicks blocked Blewitt went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
Impact After an 11-play drive in the second quarter, Blewitt's 45-yard field-goal attempt was blocked. He was able to regain his composure to sink a 52-yarder on the Football Team's next drive, but he had another kick blocked in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 10. Washington has now allowed three blocked kicks in the past two games. It's hard to place all of the blame on the 26-year-old, but he will likely be on the hot seat if this trend continues. Washington was quick to move on from the veteran Dustin Hopkins, so it'll be interesting to see how much leash they give the rookie.

One make, one miss in loss Blewitt converted one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Packers.
Impact Blewitt made a PAT after Washington scored its only touchdown in the first quarter, but he blew it on his first field-goal attempt, as his 42-yard try was blocked. While he bounced back by converting a 45-yard attempt late in the fourth, the game was well out of reach by that point. Blewitt should continue to kick for Washington in the kicker-friendly conditions of Denver in Week 8, but his seat could get hot quickly if he misses any more field goals.
