The Redskins signed kicker Nick Rose, who has yet to appear in an NFL game before, to replace Dustin Hopkins. The University of Texas product is hoping to make good on his situation.
New Redskins kicker Nick Rose’s goals for Thursday were pretty simple: have a good first day of practice and purchase some socks.
Called in earlier this week for a tryout with three other kickers after the team placed kicker Dustin Hopkin on Injured Reserve with a hip muscle injury, Rose made all of his kicks and, according to head coach Jay Gruden, made solid contact on kickoffs.
