There will finally be a change at the snapping position but it will happen in Week Ten. Scott Daly of the Lions was injured on the final snap in Week Eight and will require knee surgery. Veteran Jake McQuaide, who was in camp with the Lions, was added to the practice squad and should be activated next Sunday since the Lions had a bye this week.
While not directly related to snapping, there were some unique accomplishments with kickers in Week Nine. Cowboys rookie Brandon Aubrey broke an NFL record by making his first 19 field goal attempts to start his career. Aubrey is 28 years old and was a software engineer before giving the NFL a shot after a pro soccer career in the MLS and time in the USFL. Josh Lambo, who kicked for the Chargers and Jaguars, had a similar path from playing pro soccer in the MLS to the NFL.
Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale became the first position player since Wes Welker in 2004 to kick a field goal in an NFL game. After regular kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn suffered a quad injury in the second quarter, Ogunbowale took over kicking duties and kicked a 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
Two snappers recorded tackles in punt coverage as Zach Triner (Buccaneers) had a solo tackle and Luke Rhodes (Colts) added an assisted tackle.
