Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins will play in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions after previously being listed as questionable with a groin injury.
Hopkins was a limited participant throughout the week and coach Ron Rivera said that Hopkins would be a game-time decision for Washington. The team, however, did not elevate Kaare Vedvik from the practice squad on Saturday — an indication that Hopkins would be healthy enough to play.
Hopkins has struggled this year, making just 10 out of his 14 field goals — a 71.4% percentage that is the worst of his career. He has yet to make an attempt from 50+ yards in 2020. Despite the inconsistencies, Rivera has backed Hopkins as Washington’s kicker in recent weeks.
