The Seahawks signed kicker Sam Ficken to a reserve/futures deal, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports. Veteran kicker Sebastian Janikowski is scheduled to become a free agent in March.
Janikowski’s future would seem to be in doubt considering how his season ended. The 40 year old injured his quadricep on a 57-yard field goal try on the final play of the first half last week, leaving Seattle without a kicker in the second half of their playoff game.
It was the second time Janikowski was injured during a game this season.
Ficken, 26, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and has spent time with the Jaguars, Rams and Chiefs.
He is 3-of-6 on field goals in the regular season in his career and 14-of-15 on PATs and has made all three kicks -- one PAT and two field goals -- in the playoffs with the Rams last season.
Seattle is expected to add another kicker to compete with Ficken.
