The Washington Redskins reportedly plan to release kicker Kai Forbath and sign Dustin Hopkins, who has yet to kick an NFL field goal.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that the Redskins will cut Forbath and sign Hopkins, formerly with the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills.

Forbath missed a 46-yard field goal in Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also made a 45-yarder in the game. Last season, he hit 24 of 27 field goals for the Redskins.

The Redskins drafted kicker Zach Hocker last year, then cut him at the end of the preseason. Hocker beat out Hopkins for the kicking job in New Orleans, and went 4-for-4 in his NFL debut Sunday.
