Andre Szmyt K | CLE
Browns' Andre Szmyt: Perfect day in London
Szmyt made his lone field-goal try and both of his extra-point attempts during the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Szmyt connected on a 31-yard chip shot late in the second quarter to give the Browns a 10-7 lead heading into halftime. The rookie kicker has attempted three kicks or less in each of the last four games due to Cleveland's offense struggling to move the ball down the field. Szmyt has gone 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first five games of the regular season.

Vikings' Will Reichard: Misses lone field goal
Reichard missed his lone field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns. His field-goal miss may have been due to the ball hitting a camera wire, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Reichard had a chance to tie the game at 17-17 early in the fourth quarter, but his field-goal try from 51 yards out sailed sharply wide right. If it had been ruled to hit the wire, he would have been allowed another attempt. It was Reichard's first missed field goal of the season, and through five games the second-year kicker has gone 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries.

Giants' Jude McAtamney: Elevated from practice squad
The Giants elevated McAtamney from the practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
With Graham Gano (groin) still sidelined, McAtamney will once again handle kicking duties for the G-Men in Week 5 against New Orleans. In his season debut last week, McAtamney converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try against the Chargers.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: On injury report, no designation
McLaughlin has been added to the Buccaneers' Week 5 injury report Saturday with an illness, but doesn't carry an injury designation.
McLaughlin is the only kicker on the Buccaneers' active roster, and considering that he wasn't given an injury designation, at this stage it doesn't appear as though his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks will be impacted. Through four contests to date, McLaughlin has made nine of his 12 field-goal attempts and eight of his nine extra-point tries for a total of 35 points in that span.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Busy night during TNF
Pineiro went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.
Pineiro came up big in Week 5, making field goals from 37, 20, 59 and 41 yards in the victory, the last of which was ultimately the final score of the game. The kicker has now gone 11-for-11 on field-goal attempts, including two makes from 50-plus yards, while converting six of seven extra-point tries over four games with the 49ers this season.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Makes one FGA in Week 5
Karty went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Karty missed a 53-yard field-goal try wide right early in the third quarter before later making a game-tying 48-yarder with two seconds left in regulation. The kicker also had a PAT blocked in the fourth quarter, marking his second missed extra-point attempt of the year. Through five games, Karty has gone 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while also making 12 of 14 PATs.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Remaining out for Week 5
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Sanders (hip) won't be ready to return from the injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After opening the season on injured reserve due to a hip issue, Sanders is eligible to make his 2025 debut this week, but he hasn't yet made enough progress. Riley Patterson should continue to handle placekicking duties in Week 5.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Accounts for only offense in loss
McPherson made his only field-goal try in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.
McPherson finished off the Bengals' first drive of the night with a chip-shot 26-yard field goal, which would prove to be all the offense for Cincinnati in Week 4. The kicker remained perfect on the year, having made all four of his field-goal attempts while going 7-for-7 on extra-point tries over the first four games of the season.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Limited action in Week 4
Lutz did not attempt a field goal while going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.
Lutz had a relatively quiet night on Monday Night Football, failing to attempt a field goal for the first time this season. Through four games, the kicker has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and made all 12 of his PATs. Lutz will look to be more involved in the team's Week 5 matchup with the Eagles.

Nick Folk K | NYJ
Jets' Nick Folk: Converts career-long 58-yard FG
Folk made both of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt Monday in a loss to Miami.
Folk ended the first half in impressive fashion, making a 58-yard field goal as time expired for the longest successful attempt of his career. The grizzled veteran added a mere 50-yard make early in the fourth quarter and also made his only extra-point try. Folk has gone a perfect 7-for-7 on field-goal attempts (including 4-for-4 from 50-plus yards) and has made all seven of his extra-point tries through four weeks.
