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.

Hopkins had been competing with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job during training camp.

The Chargers will be without their regular kicker for at least another four weeks.

Los Angeles has placed Dustin Hopkins on injured reserve and signed Cameron Dicker off its practice squad to the active roster.

Hopkins has been out since injuring his hamstring in the Week 6 victory over the Broncos. He’s hit 9-of-10 field goals this season and 12-of-12 extra points. Dicker the Kicker has kicked for Los Angeles over the last three games, hitting all seven of his field goal attempts and all six of his extra points. He’s also sent 79 percent of his kickoffs for touchbacks, the story added.
