December 5, 2006 Shaun Suisham will remain the Redskins kicker for the rest of the season, according to the Washington Post. Suisham replaced Nick Novak this past week and missed his only field goal attempt, a 50-yarder. "Shaun gives us the best chance to get more distance" on kickoffs, Gibbs said.
December 2, 2006 The Redskins signed Shaun Suisham from the practice squad Saturday, giving the team an alternative to struggling kicker Nick Novak for Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to the AP. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs was unavailable for comment, so it was unclear how he planned to use his two kickers. A likely scenario would have Suisham handling kickoffs and Novak kicking extra points and field goals.
November 30, 2006 The Redskins have signed Shaun Suisham to their practice squad and he will provide competition for struggling kicker Nick Novak, according to the Washington Post. Suisham was 1-for-2 in field goal attempts for Dallas this year before being released.
October 12, 2006 The Cowboys released Shaun Suisham Thursday, leaving Mike Vanderjagt to handle both kickoff and place-kicking responsibilities, according to the AP. Suisham may return to Dallas' practice squad.
September 15, 2006 Although Mike Vanderjagt is expected to kick Sunday, there's a chance Vanderjagt and Shaun Suisham will both be active for the game, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. If that arrangement went down, Suisham would likely be used as a kickoff specialist.
