Riley Patterson Elevated To The Active Roster

Cleveland Browns kicker Riley Patterson has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Starting kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) hurt his hamstring back in Week 16 against the Texans while chasing down Cameron Johnson, who returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Luckily for Hopkins, the Browns have already clinched a playoff spot so he won't be needed for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. Patterson will fill in for him and the hope is that Hopkins will be ready for the playoffs in a week.
