One day after it was revealed the Tennessee Titans were working out kicker and former New England Patriot Stephen Gostkowski, the team is now planning on bringing in yet another veteran kicker for a tryout.
Per the transaction wire, Stephen Hauschka is the latest player at the position the Titans are bringing in for a tryout.
Some moves, per the wire:
— The #Jets claimed #Browns WR CJ Montgomery.
— The #Titans are hosting workouts for K Stephen Hauschka, along with Stephen Gostkowski.
— QBs Jake Rudock, Kyle Sloter, and Kyle Lauletta are working out for the #Falcons.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 30, 2020
Hauschka was most recently a member of the Buffalo Bills, where he was the team’s starting kicker for the past three seasons. However, he was cut in favor of rookie kicker, Tyler Bass, in the last few days.
Hauschka has a career success rate of 85.7 percent, but has posted back-to-back seasons of 78.6 percent.
Based on the Titans’ desire to explore veteran kicker options, it’s clear the team isn’t totally set on the inexperienced options they currently have in 2020 UDFA Tucker McCann and Greg Joseph.
If either Gostkowski or Hauschka is brought in, they’d immediately be considered favorites for the starting job.
