Joey Slye Limited to Point-After Attempts After Injuring Hamstring in First Half Will the WFT's strategy of abandoning field goals pay off against the Seahawks?

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • NESN.COM

Questionable to return Slye (hamstring) is available to for extra-point attempts but will not attempt any field goals for the rest of Monday's game against Seattle,Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Slye suffered a hamstring injury while trying to chase down a blocked extra-point attempt in the first half. He's been officially deemed questionable to return, though Washington opted to go for two rather than attempt an extra point on their first score in the second half. In addition, Tress Way -- Washington's punter -- was seen warming up for kicks on the sideline, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Hurts hamstring Monday Slye suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's game versus the Seahawks.

Impact When his PAT was blocked and returned for a touchdown near the end of the first half, Slye made chase but tumbled to the ground on the play. He was favoring his left leg thereafter and now may not return to action Monday. In Slye's place, Tress Way will handle placekicking duties for Washington.

Perfect once again Slye converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

Impact Slye has had plenty of work during his first two games with Washington, and he hasn't yet missed any kicks during that time. Since joining his new team, the 25-year-old has made all five of his field-goal attempts while converting all five of his extra-point tries.

Perfect in team debut Slye converted all three of his field-goal attempts while drilling both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Slye signed with Washington on Tuesday to replace Chris Blewitt, and he was perfect in his debut for Washington to help propel the team to the upset win. The 25-year-old has appeared in seven games with the Texans, 49ers and Washington to begin the year and has made 14 of 16 field-goal attempts while converting 11 of 14 extra-point tries.

13 points in win Slye connected on 4-of-5 field-goal attempts while going 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Bears.

Impact Slye missed his first field-goal attempt out of the gates from 48 yards out, but went on to hit his next four tries, including a game high 52-yard make. The 25-year-old has performed well in place of the injured Robbie Gould (groin), going 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts in his three games with San Francisco. The latter was reportedly working out on the field prior to Sunday's win, which could spell the end of Slye's tenure with the 49ers if the club activates the reliable kicker off of IR this week.

Six points on SNF Slye went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts, but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.

Impact Slye had to deal with rough weather in Santa Clara on Sunday, as winds were swirling and the rain was continuous throughout the entire contest. While the 25-year-old missed an extra point, he did manage to hit an impressive 56-yard field goal in the poor conditions. Robbie Gould (groin) will be forced to miss at least one more contest, so Slye is lined up to get another start against the Bears next Sunday.

Solid debut in SF Slye connected from 47 yards out and converted his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Arizona.

Impact Slye took over for Robbie Gould (groin), who was placed on IR last week. The 25-year-old went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts with Houston prior to being scooped up by San Francisco. Slye should continue to start for at least two more games while Gould is on the mend, starting with a matchup against the Colts in Week 7 following the team's bye.

Time long overdue for Panthers to invest in offensive line

Ends up in Bay Area The 49ers signed Slye on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact With kicker Robbie Gould (groin) set to miss multiple weeks, Slye will get the first shot to replace him after going through a workout Tuesday along with Michael Badgley and Brett Maher, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston. Slye filled in for Ka'imi Fairbairn in Houston for the first three games of the current campaign, making four of five field-goal attempts and seven of eight point-after tries.

Dropped by Houston The Texans waived Slye on Thursday.

Impact After Houston elevated Slye from its practice squad ahead of both of its first two games to handle kicking duties, the 25-year-old was officially signed to the 53-man roster prior to last week's loss to the Panthers. Though he performed capably by connecting on 11 of his 13 kicks for Houston, Slye will ultimately lose hold of the job with top kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) on track to return from injured reserve for the Texans' Week 4 matchup with Buffalo. Slye shouldn't have much trouble finding an opportunity with Houston's or another organization's practice squad, if he isn't immediately claimed off waivers or signed to a 53-man roster when he clears waivers.

Misses one kick Slye made his lone field-goal attempt and miss his only PAT during Thursday's 24-9 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The Texans unsurprisingly struggled to move the ball with rookie third-round Davis Mills helming the offense, and Slye's only field-goal opportunity came from 53 yards during the fourth quarter, which he converted. The 25-year-old is 4-for-5 on field goals and 7-for-8 on extra points through the first three games of the season, but Kai'mi Fairbairn (leg) is progressing is his recovery and is eligible to be activated from injured reserve, so the clock is ticking on Slye's time as Houston's kicker.

Signed to Houston's roster The Texans signed Slye to their 53-man roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Houston elevated Slye to the 53-man roster for the third time this season Wednesday, but his signing Thursday suggests he won't be immediately sent back to the practice squad following the matchup with Carolina. Even so, whether Slye remains Houston's kicker for the Week 4 game in Buffalo may hinge on the health of Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg). After opening the season on injured reserve, Fairbairn is first eligible to return Week 4, though it's unclear if he's made enough progress in his recovery at this point to take back kicking duties for Houston.
