Analysis: Fry was a free agent for the entire 2022 campaign after being waived by the Jaguars in mid-August. He has played in three career games since 2020, making an appearance for Atlanta, Cincinnati and Kansas City, and gone 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts but just 5-for-7 on PATs during that stretch.

The Jaguars placed Fry (undisclosed) on the team's injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Fry's placement on IR during the preseason means he will be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2022 campaign, unless he can reach an injury settlement with Jacksonville this offseason. The 27-year-old kicker made five of the six field-goal attempts over the first two seasons of his career split between Atlanta, Cincinnati and Kansas City.

Fry signed a contract with the Jaguars on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Fry was one of four kickers that Jacksonville worked out, and he evidently outperformed the other three candidates. Now that he's on the Jaguars' training camp roster, Fry will compete with Ryan Santoso and Andrew Mevis for the team's kicking job.

Fry is participating in Denver's minicamp on a tryout basis, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Fry has bounced around between Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Kansas City since he entered the league in 2020 and is now trying to earn another opportunity in Denver.

Fry (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: Fry joined the active roster for Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Browns since Evan McPherson (groin) was sidelined. However, he reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday. The nature of the 27-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but he's unlikely to rejoin the active roster for Saturday's wild-card matchup now that McPherson is back to full health.

Fry reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Fry served as Cincinnati's kicker in the absence of Evan McPherson (groin). He made his only two attempts, one a 36-yard field goal and the other an extra point. Fry made four of his five field goals and four of his five extra points across two games this season.
Jan 10, 2022 8:22 PM EST
Fry made his lone field-goal attempt while making his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Fry handled the Bengals' placekicking duties in Sunday's regular-season finale since Evan McPherson (groin) was unavailable. The 27-year-old didn't see much work in the loss but converted both of his kicks. If McPherson is healthy for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders, Fry is unlikely to take the field.
Jan 10, 2022 9:41 AM EST
Fry will handle kicking duties for the Bengals in Sunday's game against the Browns with Evan McPherson (groin) inactive for the contest, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The assignment was expected for Fry, as the Bengals likely wouldn't have promoted him from the practice squad Saturday if they planned on having McPherson available for the regular-season finale. McPherson is expected back for the Bengals' wild-card game, so Fry will revert back to the practice squad following the Week 18 contest. Fry's lone regular-season action in 2021 came with the Chiefs back in Week 16, when he went 3-for-4 on both his field-goal and extra-point attempts while filling in for Harrison Butker, who was out after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Jan 9, 2022 8:50 AM EST
Fry was elevated to the Bengals' active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Fry joined the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday and will be on the active roster for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Browns. His elevation signals that Evan McPherson (groin) could be unavailable, which would open up placekicking duties for Fry.
Jan 8, 2022 9:16 AM EST
Fry was signed to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Fry spent most of the season bouncing back and forth between the Falcons' active roster and practice squad. He joined the Chiefs on Dec. 14 and filled in for Harrison Butker in Week 16 against the Steelers, while Butker was on the COVID list. After Butker cleared protocols, Fry was cut on Dec. 28. He'll now provide emergency depth to Bengals' kicker, Evan McPherson.
Jan 4, 2022 2:11 PM EST
The Packers have released Fry from their practice squad.
Analysis: Fry was waived by the Chiefs last week afte filling in for Harrison Butker (illness) in Week 16. He subsequently spent last week on Green Bay's practice squad. The journeyman kicker will now set his sights on a new opportunity.
Jan 3, 2022 1:39 PM EST
Fry was signed to the Packers' practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Fry filled in for Harrison Butker (illness) in Week 16, but he was waived after Butker was restored to the Chiefs' active roster from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Mason Crosby has struggled this season, connecting on just 70 percent of his field goals. However, the veteran has make all his kicks in three straight games, so Fry will likely only be elevated in an emergency situation.
Jan 2, 2022 7:59 AM EST
The Chiefs waived Fry on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Fry filled in for Harrison Butker (illness) this past Sunday against the Steelers due to the latter's status on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He fared well enough, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts and three of four point-after tries in the 36-10 victory. Tuesday's transaction may indicate Butker is on the verge of clearing league protocols, but for Fry himself he'll seek another opportunity elsewhere.
Dec 28, 2021 2:51 PM EST
Fry is in line to serve as Kansas City's kicker for Sunday's game against the Steelers with Harrison Butker (illness) not available to play, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: Though the Chiefs haven't officially provided word on Butker's status for Week 16, Sweeney reports that the kicker won't be eligible to play after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday following a positive test of the virus. That implies that Butker is following the protocols for unvaccinated players, making him ineligible to rejoin the Chiefs until 10 days after his positive test. In preparation for Butker's Week 16 absence, Kansas City signed Fry off its practice squad Monday, setting the stage for him to make his second NFL appearance this weekend. He made his debut with the Falcons in Week 4 of the 2020 season, missing one of two extra-point attempts and converting on a 23-yard field goal in a loss to Green Bay.
Dec 22, 2021 9:13 AM EST
Fry was signed to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Fry joins the active roster after Harrison Butker was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. The 25-year-old kicker appeared in one game last year for the Falcons, but before that, his last game was with the Eagles in 2016. Butker still has a chance to clear protocols before Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, but Fry will still get reps with the active roster during practice just in case Butker is unable to clear protocols.
Dec 20, 2021 3:36 PM EST
Fry was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Fry was cut from Atlanta's practice squad in mid-November and will now make his way to Kansas City. He'll be a reserve option for the Chiefs should Harrison Butker suffer an injury.
