Commanders Put Austin Seibert On Injured Reserve

The Washington Commanders placed kicker Austin Seibert (hip) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he will have to miss at least the next four games. Seibert was held out of action in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a right-hip injury and returned for the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, where he missed a 50-plus yard field goal and two extra-points -- one at the end of the contest that would have tied the game. The 28-year-old didn't look right and now won't be eligible to return to Washington until the regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Cowboys. With Seibert on the shelf, the Commanders will most likely bring Zane Gonzalez back to the active roster after he filled in for Seibert in Weeks 10 and 11. The 29-year-old Gonzalez made his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021 and went 3-for-3 on FGs and 4-for-4 on extra points in his two games recently for Washington.

Austin Seibert Struggles In Return

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert struggled in his return on Sunday afternoon in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert went 2-for-3 on field goal attempts and 0-for-2 on extra points. He connected on his field goals from 46 and 51 yards and missed one from 51 yards as well. He also missed the game-tying extra point in the final minutes. Seibert has yet to miss an extra point this season before this game, so fantasy managers should not be overly concerned. In addition, Seibert has yet to miss a field goal attempt from within 49 yards. Despite the rough showing this weekend, fantasy managers should still view Seibert as a solid K1 in all formats heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Tennessee Titans.

Austin Seibert Cleared To Play Versus Dallas

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert had previously been listed as questionable, but he was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 28-year-old has been one of the most productive kickers in fantasy football this season, going 25-for-27 on field goals and 22-for-22 on extra points through just eight games. He should be deployed as a high-end K1 option this week versus Dallas.

Austin Seibert Listed As Questionable, Trending In Right Direction

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert has been sidelined for the past two weeks but was able to log a full practice on Friday, which is a positive sign of his availability for this divisional matchup. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reported that the kicker is "trending in the right way." Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status over the weekend if he faces a setback. If Seibert can suit up, he should be viewed as a high-end kicking option facing a struggling Dallas defense. If not, Zane Gonzalez could be worth a look in deeper formats, given the favorable matchup.

Austin Seibert Trending In The Right Direction

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is "trending in the right way," according to head coach Dan Quinn. The 28-year-old has been sidelined over the past two weeks with a hip injury but is shaping up to have a good chance to return to action this weekend. This week, Seibert remained a limited participant during practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session as it may provide clarity on his availability. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez took over starting duties. Before this injury, Seibert was enjoying a nice breakout campaign as he went 25-for-27 on attempts and a perfect 27-for-27 on extra points. If he can return to action on Sunday, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end option in all formats, as he is facing a struggling Dallas defense.

Austin Seibert Remains Limited On Thursday

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) continued to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday as it will likely clarify his availability heading into a divisional tilt against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Seibert has been sidelined with this injury over the past two games. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez has taken starting duties. Before the injury, Seibert was enjoying a breakout campaign in the DMV. Since joining the Commanders in Week 2, Seibert has carried a stellar 92.6% rate on attempts and has gone perfect on extra points. If Seibert can return to action this weekend, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end kicking option facing a struggling Dallas defense.

Austin Seibert At Wednesday's Practice

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is working at practice with the team on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a right-hip injury. It's good news and means that barring a setback for Seibert in practice this week, he could return as the team's primary kicker in Week 12 in a great matchup against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. Zane Gonzalez has done a good job replacing Seibert the last two games, but Washington will most likely go back to Seibert when he's ready. The 28-year-old booter has made 25 of his 27 field-goal attempts in eight games for the Commanders in his first year with the team and has also made all 22 of his extra-point tries. On the year, Dallas has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, so if Seibert is read to return, he should be considered for streaming purposes.

Austin Seibert Ruled Out For Week 11

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) has officially been ruled out for the Week 11 game against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. Seibert was unable to practice this week and will miss his second straight game. The good news is he'll have extra time to recover before hopefully returning for another divisional contest in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. With Seibert ruled out again, Zane Gonzalez should serve as Washington's kicker yet again after making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in the Week 10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gonzalez was on point in his return to NFL action last Sunday, but fantasy managers should be able to find better streaming options at the position than Gonzalez against the Eagles on Thursday Night Football.

Austin Seibert Misses Tuesday's Practice

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) was unable to participate during Tuesday's practice session. Seibert sat out last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hip issue. It seems that Seibert is still dealing with that problem after missing Tuesday's practice. He's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Zane Gonzalez figures to be asked to take over the kicking duties if Seibert sits out during this short week. Gonzalez knocked down both his field goal attempts and three extra point kicks during last week's game. The 29-year-old could be worth streaming if Seibert is unable to play.

Austin Seibert Not Off To A Good Start In Week 11

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The Commanders conducted a walkthrough on Monday and didn't hold an official practice. Seibert injured his right hip in Week 9 and didn't play in the Week 10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the 27-year-old is not able to return to practice on a short week, he figures to miss a second straight game this Thursday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. In eight games before his injury, Seibert connected on a league-leading 25 of his 27 field-goal tries while making all 22 of his extra points, so he was firmly on the fantasy radar. In his first NFL game since 2021 while filling in for Seibert in Week 10, Zane Gonzalez made both of his field goals and all three of his extra points.

Austin Seibert Downgraded To Out

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) has been downgraded to out ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seibert suffered a hip injury last week and missed practice time this week because of the issue. The team will ultimately hold out Seibert for Week 10 due to the hip injury, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. Zane Gonzalez has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option this weekend might want to consider Gonzalez with the Commanders offense rolling right now.

Austin Seibert Listed As Questionable For Week 10

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seibert did not practice on Wednesday but was upgraded to limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, as he may be a game-time decision. Since joining the Commanders in Week 2, Seibert has been one of the most productive and stable kickers in fantasy football, as he has gone 25-for-27 on attempts and a perfect 22-for-22 on extra points. If Seibert can play in Week 10, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end option, given how potent the Washington offense has performed this season.

During this stretch, he has gone 25-for-27 on attempts and a perfect 22-for-22 on extra points.

The 27-year-old has now made at least two field goals in every game since Week 4 and missed only two attempts in this span, both from 50+ yards out. Fantasy managers should continue to confidently start Seibert weekly, given how impressive the Washington offense has been.

Austin Seibert Remains High-End Kicker Facing Chicago

Since joining the Commanders in Week 2, Seibert has missed just one attempt and has been perfect on all extra points. He has attempted at least two field goals in all but one game and attempted three or more in three games. Even though the Commanders may be without their QB1, the Washington offense looked just as potent with Marcus Mariota last weekend. As a result, Seibert should have ample opportunities to get on the scoresheet on Sunday afternoon and should be started in all formats with confidence.
