Sturgis converted all four of his field goal attempts and three of his four extra point attempts in Sunday's 39-17 win over the Saints.
Despite missing an extra point in two straight games, Sturgis looked much better in his second game with the Eagles. It likely helped that the stakes weren't nearly as high, with three of his field goals coming in the second half after the Eagles' lead had ballooned to multiple scores. Head coach Chip Kelly said Monday that the team is sticking with Sturgis as their kicker moving forward.

Sturgis missed a 33-yard field goal and one of two extra points in Sunday's loss to Washington.
As far as debuts go, Sturgis's could have gone better. He missed four points' worth of kicks in a game that the Eagles lost by three, a brutal beginning to his tenure in Philadelphia. With kicker turnover on the rise recently, Sturgis's job could be in jeopardy this week, and he's definitely a player to avoid picking up until his job is officially secure for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Mon Sep 28 201517:29The Eagles have signed Sturgis
The Eagles have signed Sturgis, foxsports.com reports.
With Cody Parkey having landed on IR, Sturgis -- who was beaten out in training camp by Andrew Franks for the Miami placekicking job -- will now take over as the Eagles' kicker, an assignment that netted Parkey 16 points over the the team's first three games this season.
Sat Sep 5 201516:05Caleb Sturgis: Released By Dolphins
Sturgis was released by the Dolphins on Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Sturgis converted fewer than 80 percent of his field-goal attempts in both of his first two seasons, leaving him open to competition for the starting job. Andrew Franks, an undrafted rookie, seized the opportunity and will now serve as the Dolphins' placekicker. As a former fifth-round draft pick, Sturgis could get a look with another team at some point this season.

Coach Joe Philbin indicates that Sturgis has yet to cement the Dolphins' starting kicker job heading into Thursday's preseason finale, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Sturgis remains in a battle with undrafted rookie Andrew Franks, who continued to make a push for a roster spot with a 51-yard field goal against the Falcons on Saturday night. In the wake of the team's recent release of punter Brandon Fields, Philbin refused to rule out the possibility of entering the season with rookies at both placekicker and punter. The performance of both Sturgis and Franks in practice and Thursday's preseason finale against the Buccaneers thus figures to determine whether Sturgis will end up retaining his assignment as the team's placekicker.
Sun Aug 30 201522:12Sturgis expected to be kicker for Miami come Week 1
Sturgis is expected to be the kicker for Miami come Week 1, reports Miami Herald's Adam Beasley.
The Dolphins like the big leg of Andrew Franks but are likely to stick with the consistency of Sturgis.
Thu Jul 30 201511:29Sturgis will begin training camp on Dolphins' active roster
Sturgis, who dealt with a quadriceps injury this offseason, will begin training camp on the Dolphins' active roster, the Miami Herald reports.
Barring any further injury setbacks, the 2013 fifth-rounder is thus in position to compete in training camp, at which point he'll look to hold of the challenge of rookie Andrew Franks for the Dolphins' kicking job.

Sturgis (left quad) is expected to return to action at or near the beginning of the Dolphins' upcoming training camp, ESPN.com reports.
Sturgis, who suffered the injury during a team-sponsored kickball game, is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he racked up 128 points, while hitting 29-of-37 of his field-goal attempts. Assuming no further injury setbacks, he's set to go about the process of reclaiming the team's placekicking job, with Andrew Franks on hand to provide the Dolphins with training camp insurance and/or competition.
Wed Jul 22 201516:51Sturgis hopes to return from quadriceps injury by training camp
Sturgis hopes to return from his quadriceps injury by training camp, the Miami Herald reports.
The Dolphins open up their training camp on July 30, so we should get a feel for how well Sturgis has rebounded from his injury before long. In any case, Andrew Franks -- an undrafted free agent out Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute -- is on hand to provide the team with kicking insurance and possible competition for Sturgis.
Thu Jun 4 201522:01Sturgis (quadriceps) will be sidelined for at least four weeks
Sturgis (quadriceps) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, ESPN.com's James Walker reports.
Sturgis suffered the quad injury to his non-kicking leg during a team-sponsored kickball event. The injury will keep the third-year placekicker out for the remainder of OTAs and minicamp, but he should be back to close to full strength by the beginning of training camp in July. Sturgis recorded a career-high 128 points last season while hitting on 29-of-37 field-goal attempts.
Tue Jun 2 201509:46Sturgis (quad) will miss rest of Dolphins' offseason program
Sturgis (quad) will miss the rest of the Dolphins' offseason program, the Miami Herald reports.
Sturgis should be back for training camp in July, but he'll miss the rest of OTAs and minicamp. Following consecutive sub-par seasons, he'll likely need to fend off competition once he's healthy. Undrafted rookie Andrew Franks is now getting most of the practice reps, but the Dolphins may also look to add a veteran kicker at some point before the end of the summer.
Mon Jun 1 201512:56Sturgis dealing with quadriceps injury
Sturgis is dealing with a quadriceps injury, the Palm Beach Post reports.
With Sturgis, who made 29-of-37 field goal attempts for the Dolphins in 2014, currently ailing, undrafted rookie Andrew Franks currently represents the team's healthiest option at the kicking position.

Sturgis was 29-37 on field goal attempts and converted all 41 of his extra point tries this season.
Sturgis had to fight for his job during training camp and will likely face competition next season as well as his 78.4 percentage on field goals made leaves something to be desired.
Sun Nov 2 201417:38Sturgis connected on three of four field-goal attempts and 4-4 o...
Sturgis connected on three of his four field-goal attempts and went 4-for-4 on extra points in Sunday's 37-0 win over the Chargers.
Sturgis' three makes were all chip shots, each one less than 30 yards (26, 25, 23). The lone miss went wide right from 45 yards out. He has missed four field goals this year, but his 20 attempts rank near the top of the league, so he should make for a decent option next week against Detroit.
Wed Oct 15 201412:13Sturgis made only field goal attempt from 48 yards out Sunday ag...
Sturgis made his only field goal attempt from 48 yards out Sunday against the Packers.
While Sturgis has been nearly perfect (9-of-10) on the season, he hasn't been afforded many opportunities after the first week, where he made four. The second-year kicker is converting at a higher percentage this season (90 percent versus 76.5 percent last season), which puts him on pace to total more points than the 111 he scored in his rookie season. The Dolphins play the Bears in Week 7, who have allowed 14 field goal attempts in six games, making him an attractive option for streaming.
Mon Sep 29 201414:00Sturgis hit only field goal attempt from 41 yards against Raider...
Sturgis hit his only field goal attempt from 41 yards against the Raiders on Sunday.
Sturgis also connected on all five of his extra point opportunities in a lopsided victory over the Raiders. He is now 8-for-9 on field goals this season, with his only miss coming against the Chiefs in Week 3.
Sun Sep 7 201419:51Sturgis had big game Sunday with four field and three extra poin...
Sturgis had a big game Sunday with four field and three extra points in the Dolphins 33-20 win over the Patriots.
Sturgis proved to everyone that he is completely healthy by almost booting the opening kickoff out of the stadium. If you have him on your fantasy team you should no longer be worried about his health.
Fri Sep 5 201418:00Sturgis (groin) removed from injury report Friday
Sturgis (groin), who logged a full practice Thursday, was removed from the injury report Friday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Sturgis should be fine for Sunday's opener against the Patriots, and while the Dolphins appear to be somewhat improved on offense, the same can certainly be said for New England's defense. Sturgis has the look of a middle-of-the-pack kicker, one who should be a decent streaming options in the right matchups, but not the type to be rostered for all 16 weeks in most leagues.
Thu Sep 4 201417:36Sturgis (groin) practiced fully Thursday
Sturgis (groin) practiced fully Thursday, the Dolphins' official site reports.
Sturgis should be a go Sunday against the Patriots, with a probable designation likely on tap for him in advance of the contest.
Wed Sep 3 201418:24Sturgis (groin) listed as limited practice participant Wednesday
Sturgis (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, the Dolphins' official site reports.
That said, the Palm Beach Post relays that Sturgis indicated that he is fully healed from the groin injury that had slowed him and is ready to go in advance of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Supporting that notion is that Sturgis is the only kicker rostered by the Dolphins, following the release of Jake Rogers.
