Browns look to solve kicking struggles

Why it matters: The move allows the Browns to wave kicker Cade York, whose awful performance during the preseason was a growing concern.

Flashback: York was drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 draft.

• He began his Cleveland career as a hero, hitting a 58-yard, game-winning field goal in last season's opener against the Carolina Panthers.

Yes, but: York ended up making just 75% of his field goals last season, ranking 30th among kickers with at least 20 attempts.

State of play: York's struggles continued this preseason, including two misses against the Philadelphia Eagles and a missed extra point and blocked field goal against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Reality check: Hopkins has an 85% career field goal percentage but failed to win the Chargers starting job after competing with Cameron Dicker during training camp.
