Waived with injury designation The Jaguars waived Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday.
Impact Fry made a 23-yard field goal and connected on his only extra-point try during Friday's preseason contest against Cleveland. However, he appears to have picked up an injury during the game as well. If the 27-year-old clears waivers, he'll revert back to Jacksonville's injured reserve list.

Joins Jacksonville Fry signed a contract with the Jaguars on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Fry was one of four kickers that Jacksonville worked out, and he evidently outperformed the other three candidates. Now that he's on the Jaguars' training camp roster, Fry will compete with Ryan Santoso for the team's kicking job.

Lands on injured list Fry (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.
Impact Fry joined the active roster for Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Browns since Evan McPherson (groin) was sidelined. However, he reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday. The nature of the 27-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but he's unlikely to rejoin the active roster for Saturday's wild-card matchup now that McPherson is back to full health.

Shifts back to practice squad Fry reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Fry served as Cincinnati's Week 18 kicker in the absence of Evan McPherson (groin). He made his only two attempts, one a 36-yard field goal and the other an extra point. Fry made four of his five field-goal tries and four of his five extra-point attempts across two games this season.

Perfect as fill-in option Fry made his lone field-goal attempt while making his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Browns.
Impact Fry handled the Bengals' placekicking duties in Sunday's regular-season finale since Evan McPherson (groin) was unavailable. The 27-year-old didn't see much work in the loss but converted both of his kicks. If McPherson is healthy for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders, Fry is unlikely to take the field.
JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Handling Week 18 kicking duties Fry will handle kicking duties for the Bengals in Sunday's game against the Browns with Evan McPherson (groin) inactive for the contest, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact The assignment was expected for Fry, as the Bengals likely wouldn't have promoted him from the practice squad Saturday if they planned on having McPherson available for the regular-season finale. McPherson is expected back for the Bengals' wild-card game, so Fry will revert back to the practice squad following the Week 18 contest. Fry's lone regular-season action in 2021 came with the Chiefs back in Week 16, when he went 3-for-4 on both his field-goal and extra-point attempts while filling in for Harrison Butker, who was out after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated to active roster Fry was elevated to the Bengals' active roster Saturday.
Impact Fry joined the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday and will be on the active roster for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Browns. His elevation signals that Evan McPherson (groin) could be unavailable, which would open up placekicking duties for Fry.

Finds new home Fry was signed to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.
Impact Fry spent most of the season bouncing back and forth between the Falcons' active roster and practice squad. He joined the Chiefs on Dec. 14 and filled in for Harrison Butker in Week 16 against the Steelers while Butker was on the COVID list. After Butker cleared protocols, Fry was cut Dec. 28. He'll now provide emergency depth to Bengals' kicker, Evan McPherson.
JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cut from practice squad The Packers have released Fry from their practice squad.
Impact Fry was waived by the Chiefs last week after filling in for Harrison Butker (illness) in Week 16. He subsequently spent last week on Green Bay's practice squad. The journeyman kicker will now set his sights on a new opportunity.

Joins Green Bay's practice squad Fry was signed to the Packers' practice squad Saturday.
Impact Fry filled in for Harrison Butker (illness) in Week 16, but he was waived after Butker was restored to the Chiefs' active roster from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Mason Crosby has struggled this season, connecting on just 70 percent of his field goals. However, the veteran has made all his kicks in three straight games, so Fry will likely only be elevated in an emergency situation.

Slated to kick for KC in Week 16 Fry is in line to serve as Kansas City's kicker for Sunday's game against the Steelers with Harrison Butker (illness) not available to play, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com repo...
Impact Though the Chiefs haven't officially provided word on Butker's status for Week 16, Sweeney reports that the kicker won't be eligible to play after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday following a positive test of the virus. That implies that Butker is following the protocols for unvaccinated players, making him ineligible to rejoin the Chiefs until 10 days after his positive test. In preparation for Butker's Week 16 absence, Kansas City signed Fry off its practice squad Monday, setting the stage for him to make his second NFL appearance this weekend. He made his debut with the Falcons in Week 4 of the 2020 season, missing one of two extra-point attempts and converting on a 23-yard field goal in a loss to Green Bay.

Signed to active roster Fry was signed to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact Fry joins the active roster after Harrison Butker was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. The 25-year-old kicker appeared in one game last year for the Falcons, but before that, his last game was with the Eagles in 2016. Butker still has a chance to clear protocols before Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, but Fry will still get reps with the active roster during practice just in case Butker is unable to clear protocols.

Released from practice squad Fry was released from the Falcons' practice squad Monday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Fry and T.J. Green were both released, while Luther Kirk was added to the practice squad in a corresponding move. With just one NFL field-goal attempt under his belt, Fry hasn't had many opportunities to prove he deserves a shot, but he'll be an option teams consider in the event their own kickers become injured or ineffective.
