Report: Medlock Out, Rayner In as Cheifs Kicker

Posted by Matt Loede on September 11th, 2007 filed in News

Justin Medlock’s days as the Chiefs’ kicker appear to be over.  There are reports that Medlock was released yesterday, one-day after missing his first real kick in the NFL.  Medlock missed a 30-yarder field goal attempt, wide left, nipping the Chiefs’ opening drive right in the bud.  They went on to commit four turnovers and dozens of flat-out blunders, losing 20-3 to the Texans.  Even though Medlock came back later to make a 27-yarder, it wasn’t enough to keep him in the team’s good graces.  Word is, they’ve signed former Packers kicker Dave Rayner.  “We’re contemplating that,” Herm Edwards said of a possible move. “If we do, we’re thinking about Dave Rayner.”  Medlock could return to the practice squad at some point, though.
