Moody left Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a right ankle injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Moody was forced to make a tackle of Arizona returner DeeJay Dallas on a kickoff in the second quarter, and the former suffered an ankle injury in the process. While the second-year kicker was able to hop to the sideline, Moody then was carted to the locker room. Kyle Juszczyk was seen practicing kicks on the sideline, indicating he's the emergency kicker in the event Moody doesn't return.

McPherson made all four extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

McPherson's only FGA came in overtime from 53 yards out; however, a dropped snap from holder Ryan Rehkow led to a bad hold and a wide-left miss. The field goal was the Flordia product's second miss on the season and first from over 50 yards.

Gay made four extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars.

Gay connected from 30 and 37 yards out, bringing him to 5-for-7 on FGAs this season, with both misses coming from 50-plus yards out in three games. The Utah product will work to stay on track in Week 6 against the Titans.

Slye made his lone extra-point try but missed one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Slye missed a 33-yard attempt wide right in the second quarter, which would have given the Patriots a 10-3 lead before halftime. However, he opened the second-half scoring with a 38-yard make. Next up for the Virginia Tech product and New England is a Week 6 visit from the Texans.

Bass converted both of his field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

Bass got the Bills on the board in the first quarter with a 38-yard field-goal make. He had to wait until the second half to kick again, with both of his extra-point tries coming in the third quarter before capping off his day with a 33-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter. Through the first five games of the regular season, Bass has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 16-for-17 on extra-point tries. The Bills will wrap up their three-game road trip against the Jets on Monday Night Football.

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

Reichard opened the scoring with a 54-yard field goal on the Vikings' open possession. He then received two more FGA opportunities in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring, making from 53 and then from 41 yards out. The rookie kicker is now 9-for-9 on the season when attempting field goals, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards.

Ryland will be the Cardinals' kicker against the 49ers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Ryland was elevated from the practice squad Saturday due to Matt Prater's (knee) availability being in question for Week 5. With Prater ultimately being inactive, the Maryland product will get the opportunity to handle kicking duties. Ryland was selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Patriots but ultimately struggled in his rookie campaign, making just 64 percent of his FGAs before getting cut by New England in August.

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.
