The Browns are dealing with injury issues in the kicking game heading into Thursday night’s game against the Jets, so they reached down to the practice squad for a pair of healthy bodies.
They have elevated kicker Riley Patterson and punter Matt Haack on a temporary basis. Kicker Dustin Hopkins is out with a left hamstring injury and punter Corey Bojorquez is listed as doubtful with a quad injury.
Patterson was the Lions’ kicker for the first 13 games of the season. He was 15-of-17 on field goals and 35-of-37 on extra points.
Haack has not appeared in a regular season game this season, but he had a net average of 39.6 yards per kick in 17 games for the Bills last season.
