The Washington Commanders will be without their primary kicker for the next four games. On Tuesday, the team placed Austin Seibert on injured reserve, which rules him out for at least the next four weeks.
Seibert had been dealing with a hip issue but returned on Sunday against the Cowboys. He missed two extra points in that game, including one that would’ve tied the game in the final minute after a miraculous touchdown by Terry McLaurin. He also missed a 51-yard field goal.
Those were Seibert’s first two missed PATs of the season, and he’s now missed four field goals on the year.
The Commanders do have Zane Gonzalez on the practice squad and he can be elevated to the game-day roster one more time after previously filling in for Seibert in two games while he was injured.
