Week Seven was generally quiet at the snapping position, but a false start call on the Browns late in the game against the Ravens did make headlines and draw significant attention.

With just over two minutes left in the game, the Browns lined up for a long, game-tying field goal. Before the kick, the referees threw a flag for a false start after Browns snapper Charley Hughlett was determined to have lifted the football, drawing the Ravens defense offside.

Review shows perhaps a minor movement of the ball, but the Browns have said there was no intent to draw the Ravens offsides and that Hughlett did what he does before every snap.

The Cardinals brought Turner Bernard in for a tryout earlier in the week and Kyle Nelson was released from the Rams practice squad.

Just one snapper, Josh Harris of the Chargers, recorded an assisted tackle in punt coverage.

After a quiet Week Four, things changed at the snapping position and quickly.

It was revealed earlier last week that Jake McQuaide of the Cowboys tore his biceps on his final snap of Week Four. The Cowboys brought in four snappers for tryouts and signed two, Matt Overton and Tucker Addington, to the practice squad. Overton was activated for this week and snapped well after a miscue on his first extra point snap that was snapped too early and prevented the kick. Garrison Sanborn and Antonio Ortiz were the other snappers the Cowboys evaluated.

There will also be a new snapper in Denver next week, as Jacob Bobenmoyer is expected to miss time with a wrist injury and been placed on injured reserve. No snapper has been signed to replace Bobenmoyer as of now, but the team brought in Tucker Bernard, Hunter Bradley Ryan DiSalvo, Mitch Fraboni and Kyle Nelson yesterday and are expected to workout more snappers today. The Broncos previously worked out nine snappers in early August, although none of those tryout players were in the initial workout yesterday.

Before his injury, Bobenmoyer recorded a solo tackle and Matt Orzech of the Rams added two solo tackles.

Week Four of the NFL is in the books and was an uneventful one, as the snapping position has stabilized the past few weeks.

Only the Bears had free agent snappers in for tryouts this week, bringing in Mitch Fraboni and Hunter Bradley on successive days as they looked for a replacement kicker. Neither snapper was signed.

Three snappers recorded statistics in punt coverage this week with Scott Daly (Lions) recording the first fumble recovery by a snapper this year and JJ Jansen (Panthers) and Zach Triner (Bucs) adding assisted tackles.

Week Three of the NFL season is complete and, like Week Two, was generally uneventful for snappers. There was a unique “butt punt” in the Dolphins game against the Bills that has been covered in detail elsewhere.

The Giants had a few snappers in on a tryout basis earlier in the week. The workout featured Kam Canaday, Mitch Fraboni and Steven Wirtel, although no one was signed. The Rams released veteran Matt Overton from the practice squad now that Matt Orzech appears fully recovered.

Five snappers did record tackles in punt coverage this week, led by Aaron Brewer (Cardinals) who had two solo tackles. Nick Moore (Ravens) and Josh Harris (Chargers) each had a solo tackle, while Luke Rhodes (Colts) and Zach Wood (Saints) had assists.

Week Two of the NFL season was a typical one for the snapping position after a crazy first week. Cal Adomitis made his NFL debut for the Bengals without incident. He joins rookie Jack Coco (Packers) and client Liam McCullough (Raiders) as the three snappers to make their NFL regular season debuts in 2022.

The Rams added Matt Overton to the practice squad this week in the event Matt Orzech, who suffered a calf injury, could not snap. Orzech was able to snap on Sunday despite the injury.

Three snappers had tackles in punt coverage this week. Client Patrick Scales (Bears) and Trent Sieg (Raiders) had solo tackles, while Josh Harris (Chargers) tallied an assisted tackle.
