  • Mason Crosby K | NYG

    Giants' Mason Crosby: Will kick for NYG again Week 17

    The Giants elevated Crosby from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    New York has dealt with a litany of kicker injuries this season, as Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) are on IR and Cade York (quadriceps) is on the practice squad/injured list. Crosby was consequently signed to the team's practice squad Dec. 22 and was subsequently elevated for last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, converting his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries. The former Packer will get another opportunity to kick against the Rams in Week 17, and it seems likely that he'll do so in the Giants' season finale Jan. 7 versus Philadelphia as well.

  • Riley Patterson: Reverts to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Filling in for an injured Dustin Hopkins Thursday night against the Jets, Patterson made his lone field-goal attempt and four of his five extra-point tries. It's unclear if Hopkins will be ready for the Browns' Week 18 regular-season finale.

  • Mike Badgley K | IND

    Lions' Michael Badgley: Signed to active roster

    The Lions signed Badgley to the active roster from their practice squad Friday.

    Badgley was eligible for his third and final elevation ahead of Saturday's game at Dallas, but Detroit opted to sign him to the active roster outright, signifying its confidence in the placekicker for the final two outings of the regular season and however long the team lasts in the playoffs. In two games to date, he's netted his only field-goal attempt (37 yards) and struck true on nine of 10 point-after tries.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Fills in for Hopkins

    Patterson converted his lone field-goal attempt and four of five extra-point kicks in Thursday's 37-20 win over the Jets in Week 17.

    The Browns signed Patterson to the practice squad earlier in the week with the intent for him to fill in for Dustin Hopkins (hamstring). Cleveland clinched a spot in the postseason with the win and may not want to rush Hopkins, who not only stabilized a shaky kicking game but also was critical in several wins. Patterson's lone field goal was a 33-yarder that made it a three-score game late in the fourth quarter.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Makes two FGs, has one blocked

    Zuerlein (quadriceps) made two of three field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns.

    Zuerlein connected from 46 yards and 44 yards but had a 31-yard attempt blocked in between. He came into the game nursing a quadriceps injury but played through it. Zuerlein's blocked field-goal attempt was just his second miss in 34 tries heading into the Week 18 season finale against the Patriots.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Will suit up Thursday night

    Zuerlein (quadriceps) is active for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

    Zuerlein was deemed a 'DNP' on Tuesday and logged a limited listing Wednesday due to a right quad injury. His status for Thursday Night Football was in some question, but he'll be able to participate in the contest after all. An erratic Jets offense has made it difficult to predict Zuerlein's production of late -- he's made multiple field goals three times in his past four games but also has three games with zero field goals among his past six contests.

  • Browns' Riley Patterson: Kicking for Cleveland on Thursday

    The Browns elevated Patterson from their practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets.

    With Dustin Hopkins ruled out for the contest due to a hamstring issue, Patterson will handle the Browns' kicking duties in Week 17. Prior to catching on with Cleveland, Patterson connected on 15 of his 17 field-goal attempts and 35 of his 37 extra-point tries in 13 games with the Lions.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another big game

    Tucker made all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 33-19 win over the 49ers.

    Tucker's field goals came from 28, 41, 28 and 24 yards. With as many PATs to boot, his 15 total points Sunday marked his second-highest tally this season. With three straight games with double-digit points, Tucker ranks second among kickers in scoring with two weeks remaining.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Sets NFL record

    Prater made his only field-goal attempt and only extra-point try in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bears.

    Prater's field goal came from 55 yards, setting an NFL record with six such makes this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. The veteran now needs two more makes from 50-plus yards to tie another league record. Although he only sports 89 points on the campaign, Prater's long-range expertise has offered a boost to Arizona's offense.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Misses two kicks

    Pineiro missed two of three extra-point attempts and made his only field goal in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Packers.

    Pineiro's only multi-miss performance of the season came after he scored all of Carolina's points in Week 15's win. Although his field-goal make Sunday impressively came from 52 yards, Pineiro's misfires limited him to four points for the fourth time in six games.
