Riley Patterson is set to take over kicking duties for the Browns after being signed to the practice squad earlier in the week. He replaces Dustin Hopkins, who has struggled this season with a league-high nine missed field goals. Patterson previously kicked for Cleveland in three games last season when Hopkins was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Riley Patterson, a kicker for the Cleveland Browns, has been activated from the practice squad and will be playing in the Wild Card game against the Houston Texans. Dustin Hopkins, the Browns' regular kicker, is out for the game.
