  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Makes two long FGAs in Week 17

    Smyth went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans.

    Smyth was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game. He missed a 43-yard try in the first quarter, but he rebounded well, converting attempts from 56 and 57 yards later in the contest. Smyth has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his extra-point attempts over five games with the Saints this season.

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Hits three field goals Sunday

    Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Little's field goals came from 34, 42 and 53 yards out, and they also turned a three-point Jacksonville deficit into a six-point win. The 2024 sixth-round pick has been solid for the Jags in his second season, making 87 percent of his field goals (28-of-32) and 45 of 46 extra points. He has not missed a kick from inside 40 yards.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Makes all six kicks in loss

    Slye went 4-of-4 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.

    The kicker also drilled two field goals from more than 50 yards out (50 and 58). Altogether, Slye has only missed one kick since Week 8, and for the year, he's 82 percent on field goals (28-of-34) and 25-of-26 on extra points. He has also gotten at least three extra-point attempts in four of Tennessee's last six games, as the Titans' offense has started to improve.

  • Joshua Karty K | ARI

    Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Healthy scratch Week 17

    Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Karty was signed to off the Rams' practice squad to the Cardinals' active roster Tuesday, with Arizona bringing in the second-year pro to compete with Chad Ryland for kicking duties. Ryland will serve as the Cardinals' kicker Sunday, so Karty's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Rams.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Active over Karty in Week 17

    Ryland is listed as active Sunday at Cincinnati while fellow K Joshua Karty was deemed a healthy scratch, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Arizona signed Karty off the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, providing competition for Ryland down the stretch of the 2025 season. Ryland will remain the team's placekicker Week 17, but after connecting on just eight of 14 field-goal attempts over the last six games, he may need to perform close to perfect Sunday to be active Week 18 at the Rams.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Active in Week 17

    Smyth (illness) is active for Sunday's game in Tennessee.

    Smyth capped Week 17 prep with a limited practice Friday due to an illness that left him questionable in advance of the weekend. Because the Saints don't roster a kicker on the practice squad nor did they sign a kicker to the active roster Saturday, he was in line to resume his standing as the team's placekicker Sunday, which has been confirmed. In four appearances for New Orleans so far, Smyth has netted nine of 11 field-goal attempts and all seven point-after tries.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Makes four short kicks Week 17

    McManus connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

    McManus' lone field goal Saturday was a 24-yard chip shot early in the third quarter to cut the Packers' deficit to 10 points. He has not missed a kick since Week 10 against the Eagles, having gone 12-for-12 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-3 on attempts from 40-plus yards) and 16-for-16 on point-after tries over his last six games.

  • Tyler Loop K | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Loop: Makes seven kicks vs. Green Bay

    Loop made both of his field-goal attempts and all five of his point-after tries during the Ravens' 41-24 win over the Packers on Saturday.

    Loop's leg wasn't challenged Saturday, as he chipped in field goals from 22 and 34 yards in the second quarter. It was the ninth time that the rookie sixth-rounder connected on at least two field goals in a game this season. Since the Ravens' Week 7 bye, Loop has gone 20-for-22 on field-goal attempts (with both misses coming from 50-plus yards) and 26-for-27 on extra-point tries.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Crucial misses in loss

    Dicker converted just one of his two field-goal attempts and missed one of his two extra-point tries in Saturday's loss to the Texans.

    Dicker missed a 32-yard field-goal try to end the half, the shortest field-goal miss of his career and the only miss under 40 yards. Additionally, he missed the extra point on an Omarion Hampton touchdown run late in the fourth quarter that would have cut the Texans' lead to three points. The kicker will have to look toward next week's divisional matchup with the Broncos to bounce back from Saturday's disaster.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Flawless in win

    Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

    Fairbairn converted field-goal attempts from 41 yards and 44 yards in Saturday's effort. The kicker accounted for eight of the team's 20 points in the win. Fairbairn has now made 38 of 42 field goals and 26 of 26 extra points on the season.
