With Dustin Hopkins headed to injured reserve with a hip injury, Washington will sign kicker Nick Rose, via Mike Garafolo of NFL Media.

Rose has never kicked in a regular-season game.

According to the rest of the story, Rose has a big leg, having led the country in touchback rate in 2014 at Texas and finishing third in 2015. But Rose was inconsistent on field goals and PATs. He missed three extra points in his two years as the Longhorns’ primary place kicker and missed four field goals of less than 39 yards in his career.

Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins has a right hip rotator muscle sprain.

The tweet added that the team will work out kickers this week, according to HC Jay Gruden. It's a significant K injury as Hopkins was our top-rated kicker for Week 6.

After losing to the Dolphins yesterday in what the visitors felt was like a home game, they’ve found the appropriate scapegoat in Washington.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Washington plans to cut kicker Kai Forbath, and is bringing in former Bills and Saints kicker Dustin Hopkins.

Forbath missed a 46-yard field goal yesterday, which hardly seemed like a deal-breaker at the time.

He hit 24-of-27 field goals last year, and has hit at a 88 percent clip in his previous three seasons there. He just doesn't seem to get a ton of chances in the Washington offense, and that was probably going to be the case this year as well. It will likely be the same with Hopkins.

The New Orleans Saints have added a second kicker and stowed him on the practice squad, an unusual move that raises questions about the future of starter Shayne Graham.

The Saints signed Dustin Hopkins and placed him on their 10-man practice squad on Wednesday. That could mean the Saints are considering Hopkins as an active-roster option in the final two games of 2014 or are giving him an extended tryout with an eye toward 2015.

This doesn't have significant fantasy impact, but Graham owners should be aware that his job may be in jeopardy. It wouldn't be shocking if the Saints decided to use Hopkins as their kicker as soon as Week 16.

Bills K Dustin Hopkins (right groin, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 6. Dan Carpenter will continue to kick for the Bills.

Bills K Dustin Hopkins (right groin) missed practice again Thursday. He's done for the year. Dan Carpenter has the job locked up.

C.J. Spiller is active, but is not a great play given his ankle injury and his recent production. We actually prefer Fred Jackson if given the option. Spiller is a decent RB2/flex option, however.
