Is Brandon Fields kicking off?

The Broncos lost Prater today. Prater is suspended for 4 games for violation of his alcohol program. So the Broncos will be looking for a quick fix too.
 
In his Sports Buzz Barry Jackson mentions a rookie from Washington State:

The Dolphins likely will need to add a kicker in the next day or so, and one name worth considering is undrafted Washington State rookie Andrew Furney, who kicked a 51-yard field goal in the Jets’ preseason opener but was cut this weekend because he wasn’t going to beat out Nick Folk. Furney kicked a 60-yard field goal in college.

The Eagles are probably looking also which is the where the names came from on my earlier post.

Henery has missed 2 of 3 field-goal attempts this preseason - one from 47 yards and another from just 31. Chip Kelly said that Henery had been productive in practice after he sliced the 47-yarder against the Patriots

Part of me says go young and part of me says go with experience. Young kickers in pressure situations can give you that real uncomfortable feeling.

If a good vet gets released Im all for it. I don't like the names out there right now.
 
I don't understand why punters can't kick field goal or kickers can't punt. It's not like they have a lot of other things to practice. It could save you a roster spot.

Since all 32 teams have 2 people performing those roles, I'm going to defer to the experts.

Yeah, I feel the same way about the government. What they are doing sometimes doesn't make sense, but I will defer to the experts.
 
It would seem that a guy that was good at both would be such an advantage but never seems to happen. Gano also punted but doesn't in pros
