Elliott made both of his extra-point attempts but missed his only field-goal try, from 52 yards, in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.

The kicker is now 0-for-5 on field-goal tries of 50 or more in 2024. Later in Sunday's game, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni opted to punt with a six-point lead instead of attempting another field goal from more than 50 yards. Elliott has been reliable on shorter kicks, making all but one extra-point try this season and all but one field-goal attempt inside 50 yards.

Aubrey made both of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Monday's 27-20 loss to the Bengals.

The Dallas kicker's field-goal attempts came from 35 and 47 yards, respectively. Aubrey is now 23-of-23 on extra-point tries and 29-of-34 on field goals in 2024.

York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.

The kicker was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys with Evan McPherson sidelined due to a groin injury. York made the most of his opportunity, converting on field-goal attempts from 37 and 29 yards while nailing all three of his extra-point attempts. With McPherson stuck on injured reserve through at least Week 17, York will likely be elevated from the practice squad again to handle kicking duties Sunday against the Titans.

The Browns signed Patterson to their practice squad Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

The addition of Patterson is a sign that Dustin Hopkins' job could be in jeopardy. Hopkins, who missed two field goals in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, has now converted at just a 64 percent clip for the season, by far the worst rate of his career. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Hopkins will remain the club's kicker for now, but Patterson looks like the next man up if Cleveland decides to make a change. Patterson previously spent time with Cleveland in 2023 when Hopkins sustained a hamstring injury late in the season. Over stops with the Lions, Jaguars, Browns and Jets during his four-year NFL career, Patterson has knocked down 59 of his 67 field-goal attempts (88.1 percent).

The Titans signed Narveson to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Narveson, who missed five of his 17 field-goal tries with Green Bay from Week 1 to Week 6, now gets a chance to continue his development in Tennessee. Garafolo notes that Nick Folk (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury, making Narveson a key insurance policy for the Titans as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches.

McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and connected on all four extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The veteran kicker failed to log a single field-goal attempt for the first time all season and only the fourth time during his 32 combined regular-season and postseason appearances with the Buccaneers. McLaughlin did boost his accuracy on PATs to 95.0 percent with his quartet of makes in as many tries Sunday, setting a new career high with 38 extra points in the process. McLaughlin could be busier on the field-goal front in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers, considering Los Angeles' typically stingy defense and the fact the Bolts have allowed a league-low 41.9 percent red-zone touchdown success rate.

New England signed Romo to its practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Regular starter Joey Slye has missed three field goals in the Patriots' last two games, so it makes some sense they're exploring their options at kicker. With that said, it's still not fully clear whether Romo is meant to replace Slye right away or if the signing is more a contingency plan.

Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Carlson continues to benefit from head coach Antonio Pierce's take-the-points philosophy, connecting twice from inside 30 yards en route to the league-worst Raiders' 11th loss of the season. Carlson has now made six field goals within the 20-29 yard range alone throughout the last four weeks, and Las Vegas' offense could stall often again in Week 15 against the Falcons on Monday Night Football with quarterback Desmond Ridder likely under center.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins remains the team's kicker, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Hopkins, who missed two field goals during Sunday's 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh, is fighting a slump this season. He's converted just 16 of 25 attempts. At this point, with Cleveland eliminated from the postseason, another kicker isn't going to solve the team's many issues, but it's likely there will be a competition next summer.

Folk made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Folk accounted for all of Tennessee's points with a pair of field goals that came from 46 and 39 yards. He has now made multiple field goals in five consecutive games and is 21-for-22 on the campaign. Despite his accuracy, he could be in for uneven results down the stretch due to the ineffective Titans offense.
