Ficken Kicker!

[Vic]

When the Detroit Lions return to the field after the Week 6 bye, there will be a new kicker in Allen Park. The Lions signed free agent Sam Ficken to the practice squad on Tuesday.



Ficken was one of several kickers the team worked out prior to Week 3, but he has remained unsigned. The 29-year-old Ficken has bounced around the NFL since 2016; Detroit is the eighth team Ficken has signed a contract with since leaving Penn State

At this point the season is lost, I say roll without a kicker. I'm sure Fox can handle kickoffs.

Why did they go away from him, I don't remember how well he kicked off in the past.

Did Fox ever do kickoffs? I know Martin did.

According to Pro Football Reference, Fox had 60 kickoffs in 2020 and 35 in 2021 and just 1 this season.

Looks like the Lions relied on the punter for the last several years.  Until Campbell, he transitioned Fox out of kick off duties and just went with the kicker du jour.  Except Riley Patterson who didn't do kickoffs in 2021.  

Guess I hadn't paid that much attention to who was kicking off the last 2 seasons.
