What happened: Miami worked out Chris Freeman, Tanner Brown and Lucas Havrisik on Tuesday ahead of Week 3. Patterson missed a field goal in Week 1 against Las Vegas and again in the 35-13 loss to San Francisco in Week 2.
Why it matters: The misses removed points in consecutive games to open 2026. Jeff Hafley said Miami counts on Patterson to hit those field goals.
By the numbers: Patterson: misses in Week 1 and Week 2. Brown: 25-of-28 with 60-yard long for Louisville this year. Havrisik: 19-of-24 in NFL with 61-yard long.
What to watch: Patterson remains on the roster with no signing from the tryout group. Week 3 accuracy will decide whether Miami makes a switch.
