  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Misses practice Thursday

    Carlson (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    The kicker was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. His status will be something to monitor as the Raiders' Week 14 matchup with the Vikings approaches. Las Vegas does not have another kicker on its roster.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Could be replaced by veteran

    Havrisik could lose his job as the Rams' top kicker Sunday against the Ravens, as the team is considering elevating veteran Mason Crosby, whom they signed to their practice squad Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Havrisik was chosen to replace Brett Maher as Los Angeles' kicker beginning in Week 8, but he's largely struggled in the role, going just 7-for-10 on field-goal tries, with two of the three misses coming from inside 50 yards. Consequently, Crosby was added to the practice squad and is now under consideration to replace Havrisik as the team's kicker for Week 14. Nonetheless, head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that the Rams won't yet be cutting Havrisik, so the team may be setting up a competition between Crosby and Havrisik before settling on a permanent option.

    Mason Crosby: Could kick for Rams on Sunday

    The Rams could elevate Crosby from the practice squad for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    The Rams signed Crosby to their practice squad Wednesday, and the team may not wait long to summon him to the active roster. Until signing with the Rams, the 39-year-old had been a free agent after converting on 25 of 29 field-goal tries with the Packers in 2022. Lucas Havrisik has been Los Angeles' kicker since Week 8, but he's struggled of late, missing a pair of field goals over the past two weeks. In any case, the Rams don't intend to cut Havrisik even if they elevate Crosby for Week 14, per Grosbard.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Likely kicking for another week

    Ammendola will likely serve as the Texans' kicker Sunday against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week after missing the Texans' last four contests, but the kicker doesn't look as though he's made enough progress in his recovery yet to be ready to play Sunday. As a result, the 26-year-old Ammendola appears set for a fifth straight turn as Houston's kicker. In his first four games with the team, Ammendola has knocked down all 10 of his point-after tries and six of nine field-goal attempts, with two of those misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

    Mason Crosby: Finds new opportunity

    Crosby signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Crosby has remained a free agent since March after departing Green Bay following 16 seasons, but he'll now have another opportunity in the NFL. The 39-year-old kicker will join the Rams as a member of the practice squad, but Garafolo relays that the team intends to move him to the 53-man roster in the near future. Assuming he's eventually promoted, Crosby will become the Rams' third kicker this season after they let Brett Maher go after seven games and now appear set to move on from Lucas Havrisik.

  • Packers' Anders Carlson: Comes up clutch in win

    Carlson made two field goals and three extra points in Sunday's 27-19 victory over the Chiefs.

    Carlson had missed a kick of some variety in four straight appearances entering Sunday's contest, but he was true on all his attempts in Week 13, including field goals from 40 and 48 yards that gave the Packers successive five- and eight-point leads late in the fourth quarter. The Packers stuck by Carslon through his rough patch, and they figure to do the same rest of the way.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Pair of clutch kicks in win

    McPherson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars.

    McPherson started off Monday night's contest by missing a 57-yard field-goal attempt, but he was a perfect 6-6 on kicks after that miscue. The third-year kicker out of Florida drilled a 54-yarder to put the Bengals up by three with 2:28 to go in the fourth-quarter, and he made a 48-yard game-winning field goal in overtime. McPherson's most recent outing should make fantasy managers optimistic about his rest-of-season value, as Jake Browning was able to lead Cincinnati's offense to 34 points in Week 13's affair, which ties the team's season-high in points scored in a single game.

  • Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Another miss Monday

    McManus made one of two field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Monday's 34-31 loss to Cincinnati.

    McManus missed a 48-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that would have given Jacksonville the lead, though he came through from 40 yards in the final minute to push the game to overtime. The 32-year-old made all 15 of his field goals from Week 4 to Week 11, but he's gone 4-for-6 over the past two games and is now 24-for-28 on the season.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Keeps streak alive

    Dicker made both of his two field-goal tries in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Patriots.

    Poor weather conditions and dreadful offensive inefficiency meant Dicker was the sole catalyst for points on the board, and he delivered by making both of his 38-yard field-goal attempts in the second quarter. The 23-year-old has also not missed a field goal since Week 3. With a proven ability to be consistent week after week, and two or more field-goal attempts in four of the last six weeks, Dicker is a solid start in any league.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Stays perfect

    Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.

    Koo sank multiple field goals for the seventh time this season and continued his perfect streak. He hasn't missed a kick since Week 3,and has 17 made FGs and 14 PATs during that stretch. Koo has made 96 percent of his field-goal attempts this season, which is a career-high mark for a guy who's already considered one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL.
