  • Austin Seibert: Joining Saints' practice squad

    Seibert will sign with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports

    Seibert was one of several kickers that tried out for the Saints on Tuesday as the team prepares for the possibility of Blake Grupe (undisclosed) being unable to kick Sunday against the Lions. The 27-year-old Siebert previously made his lone appearance of the season with the Jets in Week 2, making his sole field-goal and extra-point tries.

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Day-to-day

    Grupe is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Grupe was listed on the injury report with a groin injury before Week 12, but he practiced fully Friday and played through the issue in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons, making five of his six field-goal attempts. The 25-year-old has made 24 of 30 field goals on the season, with all six misses coming from 40 yards out or longer. Austin Seibert is expected to join the team's practice squad and will likely handle the kicking duties Sunday against the Lions if the Saints aren't confident in Grupe's health.

  • Austin Seibert: Headed to New Orleans

    Seibert is expected to sign with the Saints' practice squad, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Seibert will head to New Orleans where he will serve as backup to Blake Grupe. The 27-year-old was one of one on both field-goal attempts and extra-points tries during one game played with the Jets earlier this season.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Misses only attempt

    Prater missed his only field-goal try and didn't attempt an extra point in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.

    Prater launched a 56-yarder wide right during the third quarter. The veteran has missed just four kicks all season, accounting for 68 total points despite Sunday's goose egg.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Small role in loss

    Dicker made both his sole field goal and extra point in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Dicker converted his only field-goal attempt from 39 yards in the first quarter and tacked on an extra point in the fourth. The 23-year-old has made every attempted field goal since Week 3, and is 17 for 18 on the year, with his only miss being a 53-yard attempt. The second-year kicker has proven to be accurate throughout the year and will continue to be a solid option for managers if the Chargers hope to overcome their recent drought, especially against a struggling Patriots team in Week 13.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in win

    Koo made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-15 win over the Saints.

    Despite being limited at practice during Week 12 prep due to a back injury, Koo didn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest. He didn't show any ill effects during the win, making all four of his kicks, including a 39-yarder in the fourth quarter to make it a two-score game. Koo hasn't missed a kick since Week 3, sinking 13 PATs and 15 FGs during that stretch.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes lone field goal in loss

    Joseph connected on his only field-goal try and extra-point attempt in Monday's 12-10 loss to the Bears.

    Joseph was successful from 34 yards out to bring the first half to a close and tie the game at three. He didn't step on the field again until his PAT that gave the team a 10-9 lead midway through the fourth. Next up for Joseph and the Vikings is a Week 13 matchup with the Raiders.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Continues hot streak

    Santos made four of five field-goal attempts in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.

    Santos provided all of the scoring for the Bears in their upset victory over Minnesota. After having very little production through Week 9, Santos has scored in double digits in each of his last three games. After the Week 13 bye, Santos could be viewed as a streaming option at kicker.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Trending toward Week 14 return

    Fairbairn is making significant progress in his recovery from a right quadriceps strain and appears on track to return from injured reserve when first eligible for activation in Week 14, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    While Fairbairn has missed the Texans' last three games, Matt Ammendola filled in as the team's kicker but converted only three of six field-goal tries, although he was perfect on nine extra-point attempts. The Texans waived Ammendola on Monday after he missed on two of his three field-goal tries in the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, including a misfire on a 58-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game. While Houston could still re-sign Ammendola to its practice squad and elevate him for this Sunday's game against the Broncos, the team will also work out Brett Maher on Tuesday. Houston looks like it will have to get by with a replacement kicker for just one more game with Fairbairn tracking toward a return when first eligible.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Converts long field goal

    Folk made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.

    Folk wasn't called upon much, but he delivered a 53-yard field goal just before halftime to put the Titans up by two touchdowns. He's now made four of his five attempts from more than 50 yards away and is 22-for-23 on field goals this season.
