Hopkins was released by Washington on Oct. 20 after seven seasons. He was 12 of 14 on field goals and 10 of 12 on extra points through six games. Hopkins has made 84% of his field-goal attempts during his career. Vizcaino won a kicking competition with Michael Badgley during the preseason, but struggled during his six games.
