Training camp practice updates 8-25-23

Yeah, Lutz was unproven at one time. But when we signed Lutz it was because we let a real good kicker in Dustin Hopkins go for a rookie kicker, I think his last name was Hocker, that looked good in the preseason and then couldn't hit the broad side of a barn during the season and then the kicker carousel started. Lutz was a need back then. Grupe is not a need today. Let's not make that same mistake again of letting a really good kicker be released or be traded away again.
Hopkins was unproven when we'd cut him. He'd spent two seasons in BUF on IR prior to coming here. It wasn't like he was a proven NFL commodity in 2015 either.
