BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns are switching kickers less than two weeks before the season opener.
On Monday, the Browns acquired Dustin Hopkins from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, ending Cade York's tenure as Cleveland's kicker. The Browns plan to waive York, a source told ESPN.
York, 22, was a fourth-round draft pick of the Browns in 2022. He nailed a 58-yard, game-winning field goal to defeat the Carolina Panthers in his rookie debut. But York has struggled ever since, including this preseason.
