Prater (knee) is inactive Sunday against the 49ers.

Prater logged a limited practice Friday after back-to-back DNPs, but the veteran kicker isn't healthy enough to take the field in Week 5. Instead, the Cardinals will hand those duties over to Chad Ryland who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

The Cardinals elevated Ryland from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ryland was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday to provide insurance in case Matt Prater (knee) is unable to play Sunday against the 49ers. Prater was able to practice Friday as a limited participant, but if his knee injury prevents him from suiting up Sunday, Ryland will serve as the Cardinals' kicker. Ryland went 16-for-25 on field-goal attempts and connected on 24 of 25 extra-point tries with the Patriots in 2023.

Prater (knee) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

A left knee issue kept Prater out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to return to a limited session Friday. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said before Friday's practice that the veteran kicker is "doing pretty good," per Howard Balzer of USA Today, but it's not yet clear if Prater will be able to suit up Sunday. If he isn't healthy enough to play, Chad Ryland will likely be brought in from the practice squad to kick Sunday.

Grupe (right hip) practiced in full Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Considering Grupe followed up Thursday's absence with no practice limitations at all one day later, the DNP likely was for maintenance purposes. He's now set to handle place-kicking duties for the Saints on Monday at Kansas City, which so far has amounted to 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on point-after tries through four games.

Prater (left knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prater thus has just one more session to prove the health of his left knee this week before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game in San Francisco. If Prater isn't able to perform his usual place-kicking duties this weekend, the team likely will elevate Chad Ryland from the practice squad, which will need to happen by Saturday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so.

Grupe was held out of Thursday's practice due to a right hip injury.

Grupe ranks fifth among NFL kickers with at least three appearances at 9.3 points per game, which is powered by 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries. He now has a health concern in tow, though, leaving his status up in the air ahead of Monday's game in Kansas City. The Saints have a kicker in Charlie Smyth on the practice squad, so there's a contingency plan in place in the event Grupe isn't able to suit up Week 5.

Prater didn't practice Wednesday due to a left knee injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals haven't had any kickers in Arizona for tryouts or visits this week, but they did sign Chad Ryland to the practice squad Wednesday. Prater's ability to mix into some drills Thursday and/or Friday likely will be key for his odds to play Sunday in San Francisco.

The Cardinals signed Ryland to their practice squad Wednesday.

The 2023 fourth-round pick spent his rookie campaign with the Patriots before being waived in late August. Ryland converted on just 16 of his 25 field-goal attempts but missed only one of his 25 point-after tries in 2023. He could be elevated to Arizona's active roster if Matt Prater deals with injury at any point this season.

Reichard made his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Packers.

The 2024 sixth-round pick remains perfect through the first four games of his NFL career, going 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on point-after tries. Expect Reichard to continue producing at a high level as the Vikings host the Jets in Week 5.

Dicker made his lone extra-point try and missed one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Dicker connected on a 50-yard FGA to help give the Chargers a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. However, on their opening drive of the second half he had a 55-yard attempt that missed wide right, his first miss of the season. The 24-year-old is now 7-for-8 on FGAs this season, while he's 5-for-6 on PATs.
