SAM FICKEN NEWS

Joins Detroit's practice squad Ficken has landed on the Lions' practice squad.

Impact Ficken started the season in Tennessee but subsequently landed on its injured reserve with a groin injury. Both parties eventually reached an injury settlement and he was waived from IR. He tried out with Jacksonville prior to landing in Detroit, so his groin issue is seemingly behind him. He will now look to make an impression on the practice squad while waiting for an opportunity to get called up.

Impact Ficken was claimed off waivers from the Jets on Aug. 1, and the 28-year-old kicker now finds himself without competition as the season quickly approaches. Through two weeks of the preseason, the Penn State product is 3-for-3 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs. Ficken has impressed in practice as well, hitting 48 of 53 field goals since joining the team. The 6-foot-1, 192-pounder may have value in fantasy as he finds himself as the current starter for a team that projects to be able to move the ball effectively on offense.
