Joins Bills' practice squad
Buffalo signed Havrisik to the practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Havrisik spent time with the Browns during the offseason, and he went 15-for-20 on field-goal attempts across nine appearances with the Rams in 2023. His presence on the practice squad provides Buffalo with some insurance behind Tyler Bass, who has converted nine of 12 field-goal attempts and 18 of 20 PATs through six games this season.

Gets let go
Havrisik was waived by the Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Havrisik originally signed with Cleveland in January and has since been let go and brought back by the team multiple times. However, with Week 1 less than two weeks away and Dustin Hopkins (undisclosed) still on the roster, this may be the end of the road with the franchise for the Arizona product.

Back with Cleveland
The Browns re-signed Havrisik on Friday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The kicker rejoins Cleveland just a day after the team traded Cade York to Washington. Havrisik appeared in nine games with the Rams last season, making 15 of 20 field-goal attempts and 19 of 22 extra-point tries. He'll assume the backup kicker spot to veteran Dustin Hopkins, but Hopkins' minor injury could open up some playing time for Havrisik.

Gets let go
Havrisik was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Havrisik had just joined Cleveland on May 20, but with fellow kickers Dustin Hopkins and Cade York under contract as well, the Arizona product was seemingly expendable. He'll now have to seek out a new opportunity

Back in Cleveland
Havrisik signed with the Browns on Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The kicker rejoined the team after getting waived May 14. Havrisik signed a reserve/future contract with the Browns in January after spending time on Cleveland's practice squad last year. The second-year pro appeared in nine games for the Rams in 2023 and made 15 of 20 field-goal attempts and 19 of 22 extra-point tries.

Loses spot
Havrisik was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Havrisik signed a reserve/future contract with Cleveland in January after the Rams waived him. He was expected to at least have the opportunity to compete with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) and Cade York for the team's kicker job in 2024, but instead, he'll become a free agent once again.

Finds new home
Havrisik signed a reserve/future contract with the Browns on Wednesday.
Analysis: Havrisik became a free agent earlier this month after being waived by the Rams. The 24-year-old struggled over his nine games with Los Angeles in 2023, knocking down 20 of 25 field-goal tries and 19 of 22 extra-point attempts before being cut loose. He'll now have the opportunity for a fresh start in Cleveland during the upcoming offseason, though Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is projected to open the 2024 campaign as the Browns' kicker, if healthy.

Let go by Rams
The Rams waived Havrisik on Monday.
Analysis: Havrisik has largely struggled since the Rams named him their new kicker ahead of Week 8, but he was given a vote of confidence by head coach Sean McVay ahead of a Week 16 contest versus New Orleans. However, the team's patience with the 24-year-old has run out after he missed a pair of extra-point attempts in a narrow victory against the Giants on Sunday. Los Angeles doesn't currently have a kicker on its roster, and it remains to be seen who the team will bring in to replace Havrisik for Week…read more

Misses two PATs
Havrisik converted two of four extra-point tries and didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 26-25 victory against the Giants.
Analysis: Just two days removed from coach Sean McVay saying that they wouldn't bring in a kicker to compete with Havrisik, the embattled Rams kicker had a miserable day with a pair of missed extra points. Those misses almost cost the Rams a victory, as the Giants had two chances to take the lead late they wouldn't have had if Havrisik had converted the extra points. Luckily for the Rams, Tyrod Taylor couldn't convert a two-point conversion attempt and Mason Crosby -- who almost replaced Havrisik a few…read more

Starting job secure
Havrisik is expected to remain the Rams' starting kicker, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Havrisik went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts in Thursday's 30-22 win over the Saints, missing his longest attempt of the night, a 47-yarder in the victory. Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that they won't bring in another kicker, solidifying Havrisik as the team's starter moving forward.

Second straight game with missed FG
Havrisik connected on three of four field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 30-22 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: Another week, another missed field goal by the Rams' embattled kicker, this one from 47 yards out near the end of the first half. Despite being perfect on three short field goals (20, 22 and 32 yards) and three extra points, the pattern of missed field goals by Havrisik has to be troublesome to coach Sean McVay. The Rams may again be in the market for a kicker with Havrisik continuing to struggle, something fantasy managers may want to take note of as the Rams have nine days off between…read more

Goes 2-for-3 on FGs
Havrisik connected on two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders.
Analysis: With Mason Crosby being cut from the Rams' practice squad on Tuesday, Havrisik's hold on the starting kicker position for the Rams seemed to be on firmer ground heading into a Week 15 tilt against Washington. Havrisik struggled again, however, as another missed field goal, this one from 43 yards out, may have eroded all the good will he earned after his perfect performance in Week 14. The Rams' offense has been giving Havrisik plenty of chances to produce in recent weeks, but coach Sean McVay…read more

Turns in best performance of season
Havrisik connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: With Mason Crosby (coach's decision) inactive, Havrisik was given one more chance as the Rams' kicker, and he didn't disappoint in a high-scoring affair. Havrisik drilled field goals from 27 and 51 yards before connecting on a 36-yard attempt with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime. The embattled Rams' kicker may have saved his job for one more week after a gutsy performance, but the margin for error is likely still thin with Crosby waiting in the wings.

Maintains kicking duties
Havrisik is active Sunday against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Havrisik's role as the Rams' kicker was in question when the team added Mason Crosby earlier in the week. However, Crosby will be a healthy scratch in Week 14, and the former will retain his spot as the team's kicker for now.

Likely to retain kicking gig Sunday
Havrisik is expected to remain the Rams' kicker for Sunday's game against the Ravens after head coach Sean McVay suggested that Mason Crosby likely won't be elevated from the practice squad in Week 14, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Havrisik's job still seems to be on notice after the Rams added the battle-tested Crosby to the practice squad Wednesday, but the former looks like he'll have at least one more chance to keep his spot on the roster. Since taking over as the Rams' kicker Week 8 following Brett Maher's release, Havrisik has connected on 10 of 11 extra-point attempts and seven of 10 field-goal tries in five games.

Could be replaced by veteran
Havrisik could lose his job as the Rams' top kicker Sunday against the Ravens, as the team is considering elevating veteran Mason Crosby, whom they signed to their practice squad Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Havrisik was chosen to replace Brett Maher as Los Angeles' kicker beginning in Week 8, but he's largely struggled in the role, going just 7-for-10 on field-goal tries, with two of the three misses coming from inside 50 yards. Consequently, Crosby was added to the practice squad and is now under consideration to replace Havrisik as the team's kicker for Week 14. Nonetheless, head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that the Rams won't yet be cutting Havrisik, so the team may be setting up a…read more

Misses another field goal
Havrisik connected on one of two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 36-19 victory against the Browns.
Analysis: For the third time in four games, Havrisik missed a field goal, a 43-yard attempt that went wide right. While he did nail a 44-yard attempt and was perfect on PATs, Havrisik now sits at a 70 percent success rate on field goals after five games; Brett Maher was released after seven games with a 74 percent success rate. Opportunities to improve on his string of shaky performances may be hard to come by in Week 14 against a well-rested and talented Ravens defense.

Another shaky performance
Havrisik connected on one of two field-goal attempts and made four of five extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-14 victory against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Havrisik sailed a 50-yard field goal attempt wide right in the second quarter, and while he did connect on a 24-yard attempt later in the game, he also pushed a PAT wide right in the fourth quarter. The missed kicks made little impact in a blowout victory, but they don't inspire confidence in Havrisik's job security heading into a Week 13 contest against the Browns and their imposing defense.

Hits go-ahead FG in victory
Havrisik connected on a 22-yard field goal and made both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks.
Analysis: The young kicker wasn't asked to do much through most of the game, as the Rams struggled to produce on offense against Seattle. However, Havrisik was called upon late to hit a chip-shot field goal, and his 22-yard make provided what turned out to be the game-winning points after Seattle kicker Jason Myers missed a 55-yard attempt with eight seconds left. Up next for Havrisik is a Week 12 showdown in Arizona against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.

Records first miss of career
Havrisik connected on one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: On a misty day at Lambeau Field, the Rams offense as a whole sputtered with Brett Rypien at the helm, leaving Havrisik with few opportunities to produce. While he did manage to drill a 52-yard attempt in the second quarter, he pushed a 49-yard try wide right in the third quarter. Havrisik will likely get a pass for the miss with the weather conditions working against him, and he has the Rams' bye in Week 10 to look forward to before facing off against the Seahawks at home in Week 11.

Makes both field-goal tries
Havrisik connected on both of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 43-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: So far, so good for the newly minted Rams kicker, who made field goals from 33 and 47 yards during the contest. Havrisik, who replaced Brett Maher after the Rams released him on Tuesday, never got to attempt a PAT as the Rams went for two after both of their touchdowns, but coach Sean McVay will likely stand pat with the former Arizona Wildcat for Los Angeles' Week 9 contest with Green Bay.

Set to kick Sunday
Head coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday that Havrisik will be the Rams' kicker this Sunday in Dallas, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: The job carries some fantasy appeal given that the Rams have mostly been able to move the ball this season but have then struggled to punch it into the end zone for six points. Brett Maher was unable to take full advantage of the role due to struggles with accuracy, but Havrisik could have more luck if the team context stays similar. He's best left on the waiver wire in most leagues Week 8, considering the Rams are playing on the road against a top defense coming out of a bye week.

Los Angeles' new kicker
The Rams plan to sign Havrisik off the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Los Angeles parted ways with kicker Brett Maher after he missed two field goals and one extra point during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers, and the team wasted no time finding his replacement. Since the Rams are planning on signing Havrisik off Cleveland's practice squad, he'll end up on the team's active roster, per Cameron DaSilva of USA Sports Today. Havrisik went undrafted in 2022 out of Arizona, and he has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Lands with Browns practice squad
Havrisik is set to join the Browns' practice squad.
Analysis: Days after getting cut by the Colts, Havrisik has found a new home in Cleveland. He will now continue to kick for them at practice and await the opportunity to get called up should anything happen to Dustin Hopkins on the active roster. The 23-year-old kicker spent just one week of his rookie campaign on Indianapolis' practice squad.

Gets cut loose
Havrisik was waived by the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Havrisik was brought back by the team on a reserve/future deal in January. However, he was unable to win the team's kicking duties over the veteran, Matt Gay. The Arizona product will now need to seek an opportunity elsewhere, or he could possibly end up on Indianapolis' practice squad once again.
