Caleb Sturgis
Player News
Sturgis has beat Roberto Aguayo in their competition for the Chargers' place-kicking job.
Both players were productive throughout the preseason, but the Chargers must have felt more confidence in Sturgis being reliable during the regular season. After spending most of last season in recovery mode from a torn hip flexor, he could be a sneaky option for a top-flight year complementing the Chargers offense, which could improve upon a mark of 22.2 points per game from 2017 if the skill positions experience a modicum of health.
Caleb Sturgis signed a one-year extension through 2017.
The 27-year-old has been inconsistent in his career, but the Eagles must feel comfortable enough to give the kicker an extension. Fantasy owners can look towards more consistent kickers for their fantasy rosters in 2016.
Caleb Sturgis has been cleared to practice on Monday.
The Eagles place kicker suffered a concussion before Thursday night's preseason game against the Steelers when a football hit him in the head during pregame warmups. It looks like he cleared through the concussion protocol and will be ready to go on Monday. He is in a battle with Cody Parkey for the starting job.
Caleb Sturgis is in the NFL concussion protocol.
Sturgis was hit in the head by a punt during the pre-game warmups. He was beating out Cody Parkey as the kicker for Philly, but this injury will open the door a bit for Parkey to get additional snaps in practice. Keep an eye on this situation if you were considering drafting a Philly kicker in your fantasy drafts.
