Gano (neck) won't practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gano didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday, either, and is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Bears. With that in mind, coach Brian Daboll said Friday he would "assume it's going to be" Younghoe Koo kicking for the Giants this weekend but added that the team will see how Gano feels before making a final determination on that front.

Wright is expected to replace the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) as Houston's placekicker for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson goes as far to say that Fairbairn, who leads NFL kickers with 25 field-goal attempts, has been ruled out Week 10, but the Texans have not yet confirmed that. If he replaces Fairbairn, Wright steps into a friendly situation for a kicker, as Houston's offense ranks last in the NFL in converting red-zone appearances into touchdowns.

Carlson missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try in Thursday night's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

Carlson had a chance to tie the game with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, but he missed his 48-yard field-goal try wide right, leaving the Raiders trailing by a 10-7 margin. The kicker finished without a field goal make for the second time in the last three contests as a result. Carlson has now gone 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 11 of 12 PATs over nine games this year.

Lutz went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Thursday night's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

Lutz missed a 59-yard field-goal try short in the third quarter before later connecting from 32 yards with five seconds left in the period. The kicker has made at least one field goal in six consecutive contests, and he's now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 games this year.

McManus (right quadriceps) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Three days removed from coach Matt LaFleur giving McManus a vote of confidence as the Packers' placekicker, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, McManus had no practice limitations for the first time since tweaking his right quad during Week 6 prep. Since sitting out Weeks 6 and 7, McManus hasn't exactly been crisp, making four of seven field-goal attempts and all four point-after tries. The Packers still have two kickers on their active roster -- also, Lucas Havrisik -- but it appears McManus will log a third consecutive appearance Monday against the Eagles.

Gano (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Before returning from injured reserve Week 8 and handling kicking duties in each of the Giants' last two contests, Gano had missed four games due to a groin injury. A new health concern has kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, with Gano disclosing that he experienced discomfort in his neck last week and has since being diagnosed with a herniated disc, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. He received a spinal injection Wednesday to treat the injury and is hoping that he'll be able to kick during the Giants' final practice of the week Friday. The Giants will assess Gano's condition following Friday's practice before deciding if he'll be ready to play Sunday in Chicago. If Gano ends up being ruled out for Week 10, head coach Brian Daboll said that Younghoe Koo will be promoted from the practice squad to serve as the Giants' placekicker, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday.

Fairbairn (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Fairbairn suffered a quadriceps injury in the Texans' 18-15 Week 9 loss to the Broncos and has not practiced since. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday he "does not" expect the 31-year-old to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Should the nine-year pro be sidelined for Week 10, Matthew Wright is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

Mevis will compete with Josh Karty to serve as the Rams' kicker in Week 10 against the 49ers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Mevis joined the Rams' practice squad Wednesday and will immediately have the chance to contribute. Joshua Karty is the incumbent kicker for the team, but he has missed at least one kick in three of his last four games and is just 10-for-15 on field-goal attempts this season.

Gano didn't practice Wednesday due to a neck injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gano was on injured reserve Weeks 4-7 due to a groin injury, and in two games since returning to action, he's combined to make three of four field-goal attempts and all five point-after tries. The Giants are still rostering two kickers (Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney) on the practice squad as insurance in the event Gano needs to miss any time. Ultimately, Gano likely will need to practice Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to be active Sunday in Chicago.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Karty will face competition from Harrison Mevis for the kicking job this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Karty has gone just 10-of-15 on field-gal attempts this season, with three additional misses on PATs. He's been the clear weak link on a likely playoff team, unable to match a 2024 rookie campaign in which he converted 84.3 percent of his field-goal attempts. Karty has even struggled with kickoffs this year, so it's perhaps surprising the Rams waited this long to seriously consider a change. Mevis, listed at 5-foot-11, 243 pounds, has never kicked in an NFL regular-season game. He signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday after spending time with the Jets from June through September.
