Potter (hip) has been waived/injured by the Dolphins, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. With Potter no longer in the mix, and Caleb Sturgis still, dealing with a groin injury, fellow kicker Jake Rogers has been signed by the Dolphins.

Potter was removed from Saturday's preseason tilt against the Cowboys due to an injured hip, NFL.com reports. The Dolphins' situation at kicker is reaching a boiling point, as last year's starter, Caleb Sturgis, has also been riding out an ailing groin. Because the organization is expected to hold open auditions in the next few days in order to fill the void, according to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, neither Potter nor Sturgis are palatable options in terms of fantasy.

Potter has a good chance to open the season as the Dolphins starting kicker, according to the Miami Herald. Caleb Sturgis is dealing with a slow healing groin injury which has allowed Potter to get his foot in he door.

Redskins released K John Potter. In three games subbing for Kai Forbath (groin), Potter went 3-of-4 on field goals. Forbath will be ready to go after the Week 5 bye.

Redskins signed K John Potter. Kai Forbath is out with a groin injury, so Potter will handle kicking duties.

Redskins signed kicker John Potter. Potter, a seventh-round pick of the Bills last year, is know for his big leg. He'll compete for a role as a kick off specialist in Washington.

Bills seventh-round pick John Potter has a "legitimate chance" to make the team as a kickoff specialist. Rian Lindell's job as the primary field-goal kicker is safe, but Potter's big leg could earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. Only 27.9 percent of Lindell's kickoffs resulted in a touchback last season, which was sixth-worst in the league.

Bills signed No. 251 overall pick John Potter to a four-year contract. Western Michigan's all-time leader in points and tackles by a kicker, the big-legged Potter is viewed as a kickoff specialist in Buffalo. Rian Lindell will remain the primary field-goal kicker.

The Bills are projecting seventh-round pick John Potter as a kickoff specialist. Rian Lindell is locked in as Buffalo's placekicker. Potter will have to show special touchback-making ability to convince the Bills it's worth keeping two kickers. Potter estimated that "43 or 44 percent" of his 2011 kickoffs went through the opponent's end zone. He played his college ball at Western Michigan.
