Hits free agency Fry was cut from the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fry joined Atlanta's practice squad just ahead of their Week 1 matchup with the Eagles. His time with the team was short-lived, though he has bounced on and off the Falcons' roster since the 2020 campaign, so he could be back if Younghoe Koo suffers an injury.

Receives future deal The Falcons signed Fry to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Impact Fry played in one game for the Falcons in 2020, connecting on his lone field-goal attempt from 23 yards out. The 26-year-old is injury insurance for the Falcons, as Younghoe Koo is locked in as their starting kicker in 2021.

Reverts to practice squad Fry reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact The 25-year-old was elevated to the active roster as an extra player for Monday's loss to the Packers with Younghoe Koo (groin) sidelined, and he made his lone field-goal attempt but missed one of two extra-point attempts. Fry could receive another opportunity next week if Koo remains sidelined.

Misses kick in debut Fry made his only field-goal attempt but missed one of his two extra-point tries in Monday night's 30-16 loss to the Packers.
Impact Fry made his NFL debut after usual starter Younghoe Koo (groin) was deemed inactive. Although he began with an easy 23-yard field goal, Fry faltered on his next attempt, missing an extra point wide right following halftime. Fry responded by making his next PAT, but he'll nonetheless be disappointed by his imperfect first appearance. At this point, it remains to be seen whether Koo will return for Week 5 versus the Panthers, but Fry at least has some game experience under his belt now.

Officially called up The Falcons elevated Fry from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Fry had already been named the starting kicker since Younghoe Koo (groin) has been ruled out, and the Falcons officially made the transaction. This will be Fry's first NFL game since entering the league in 2017. While even a top-tier performance won't push Koo out of the starting job once he's healthy, this could serve as a glorified tryout for Fry in hopes of impressing other teams.

Set to start Monday Fry will start Monday against the Packers after Younghoe Koo (groin) was ruled out ahead of the prime-time contest, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact This was always the expected outcome considering Koo was unable to practice all week. The Falcons haven't called up Fry from the practice squad yet, but the designation is expected to occur in the next two days. The 25-year-old has yet to attempt a kick at the NFL level in his career.

Let go by Bucs The Buccaneers waived Fry on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Buccaneers brought in Ryan Succop and Cody Parkey for tryouts to supplement the competition between Fry and Mike Gay, and Fry struggled in the battle Sunday, missing an extra point and shanking a 49-yard field goal. Fry was shown the door as a result, and the competition is now between Gay and Succop to start Week 1. Fry has less than two weeks to find a new gig, and it'll be tough with no NFL regular-season experience.

Stumbles in scrimmage Fry missed an extra point off the left upright and shanked a 49-yard field-goal try during Friday's scrimmage at Raymond James Stadium, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times rep...
Impact Fry may have irreparably damaged his chances with his rough showing, considering his heated job battle with Matt Gay is reportedly set to expand by another couple of candidates. Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports that veterans Ryan Succop and Cody Parkey are currently going through COVID-19 protocols ahead of planned workouts for the team this coming week, a development that ultimately could equate to a Fry release. The lack of preseason games this summer certainly narrows the opportunities to stand out for kicking hopefuls, and given Fry was unable to capitalize on one of the few simulated game situations available, his outlook likely has dimmed.

Impact Fry has yet to kick in a regular-season game, but he spent time with the Bears and Ravens last preseason as an undrafted rookie. The 25-year-old has displayed leg strength to rival that of Gay's, so this competition could well come down to how each performs in the simulated game conditions of a pair of intrasquad scrimmages at Raymond James Stadium, the first unfolding this coming Friday.

Locked in Tuesday Fry, who was brought in to compete with Matt Gay for the placekicking job, was perfect on all his attempts in Tuesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.
Impact Fry has yet to kick in a regular-season game, but he has had a solid dose of preseason experience. Gay's strong leg, solid body of overall work last season and pedigree (for a kicker) as a fifth-round pick likely gives him an advantage in the job battle going in; however, Fry could make things interesting if he can continue putting together days like Tuesday, when he matched Gay's perfect showing and finished with a successful attempt from 50 yards.
