McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and four of five extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

McPherson's field goal was boomed from 57 yards, but his failed PAT in the second quarter was McPherson's first missed extra point of the season. Through 16 games, McPherson is 25-for-28 on field goals and 41-for-42 on PATs. McPherson will wrap up the 2025 season in Week 18 against Cleveland.

Myers went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Myers was able to get back on track in Week 17 after going without a field-goal attempt in Week 16 against the Rams, making multiple field goals for the seventh time in eight games. The kicker converted a 48-yarder in the first quarter and a 30-yard try in the fourth quarter. Myers has had a masterful season, going 39-for-44 on field-goal attempts, including 9-for-12 from 50-plus yards, while making all 47 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

Sauls made both of his field-goal attempts and all four PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders.

Sauls' field goals came from 32 and 23 yards, and he's now perfect through two games as the Giants' kicker. Sauls has made all three of his field-goal tries and is 6-for-6 on extra points. He'll wrap up the 2025 season against Dallas in Week 18 next Sunday.

Smyth went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans.

Smyth was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game. He missed a 43-yard try in the first quarter, but he rebounded well, converting attempts from 56 and 57 yards later in the contest. Smyth has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his extra-point attempts over five games with the Saints this season.

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

Little's field goals came from 34, 42 and 53 yards out, and they also turned a three-point Jacksonville deficit into a six-point win. The 2024 sixth-round pick has been solid for the Jags in his second season, making 87 percent of his field goals (28-of-32) and 45 of 46 extra points. He has not missed a kick from inside 40 yards.

Slye went 4-of-4 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.

The kicker also drilled two field goals from more than 50 yards out (50 and 58). Altogether, Slye has only missed one kick since Week 8, and for the year, he's 82 percent on field goals (28-of-34) and 25-of-26 on extra points. He has also gotten at least three extra-point attempts in four of Tennessee's last six games, as the Titans' offense has started to improve.

Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Karty was signed to off the Rams' practice squad to the Cardinals' active roster Tuesday, with Arizona bringing in the second-year pro to compete with Chad Ryland for kicking duties. Ryland will serve as the Cardinals' kicker Sunday, so Karty's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Rams.

Ryland is listed as active Sunday at Cincinnati while fellow K Joshua Karty was deemed a healthy scratch, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Arizona signed Karty off the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, providing competition for Ryland down the stretch of the 2025 season. Ryland will remain the team's placekicker Week 17, but after connecting on just eight of 14 field-goal attempts over the last six games, he may need to perform close to perfect Sunday to be active Week 18 at the Rams.

Smyth (illness) is active for Sunday's game in Tennessee.

Smyth capped Week 17 prep with a limited practice Friday due to an illness that left him questionable in advance of the weekend. Because the Saints don't roster a kicker on the practice squad nor did they sign a kicker to the active roster Saturday, he was in line to resume his standing as the team's placekicker Sunday, which has been confirmed. In four appearances for New Orleans so far, Smyth has netted nine of 11 field-goal attempts and all seven point-after tries.

McManus connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

McManus' lone field goal Saturday was a 24-yard chip shot early in the third quarter to cut the Packers' deficit to 10 points. He has not missed a kick since Week 10 against the Eagles, having gone 12-for-12 on field-goal attempts (including 3-for-3 on attempts from 40-plus yards) and 16-for-16 on point-after tries over his last six games.
