Detroit Lions cut kicker Dominik Eberle after missing two extra points
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions waived kicker Dominik Eberle, creating an open spot on the 53-man roster.
Eberle was forced into the lineup last week after Lions starting kicker Austin Seibert suffered a groin injury in Week 3’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Eberle proceeded to miss the first two extra points of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks and later boot a kickoff out of bounds. Although he made a 49-yard field goal in the game, the damage was done, and the Lions swiftly moved on.
On Monday, coach Dan Campbell said the team was planning to bring in kickers for a tryout, essentially spelling doom for Eberle.
