CODY PARKEY
Rough start to camp Parkey missed four of five field-goal attempts during a kicking session at Thursday's practice, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Parkey stabilized Cleveland's kicking game when he was brought in prior to Week 2 of 2020 and was perfect through the Browns' playoff run. He also may have stabilized his career. He spent the last six seasons kicking for six different franchises and hasn't been a starting kicker for the same team in consecutive seasons yet during his career. Parkey, who has been successful on 86.4 percent of his attempts over his career, has a challenger in camp, Chase McLaughlin, who nailed all five of his attempts.

Impact Parkey missed the third of nine kicks over the last two weeks, but he could be forgiven for this one.

Unlike last week's game against Baltimore, Parkey's miss Sunday was not a factor in the outcome. He'll look to right himself Week 15 on the road against the Jets, who rank 29th in fantasy scoring allowed to kickers.
