Matt Prater K | BUF
Bills' Matt Prater: Imperfect in Week 3
Prater went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made four PATs in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.
Prater was unable to remain perfect in 2025, missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the second quarter. He later redeemed himself, connecting on a 48-yard field goal to put the Bills up 31-21 with 22 seconds remaining in the game. Prater has now made seven out of eight field-goal tries and all nine of his PATs over three contests with Buffalo this season.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Elevated ahead of TNF
The Dolphins elevated Patterson from the practice squad Thursday.
Patterson will once again handle kicking duties for the Dolphins on Thursday night against the Bills. Jason Sanders (hip) remains sidelined on injured reserve. Patterson has converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries through two contests.

Harrison Mevis K | NYJ
Harrison Mevis: Let go by NYJ
The Jets cut Mevis from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.
The move makes room on the Jets' practice squad for defensive back Nik Needham. Mevis wasn't able to make the Jets' 53-man roster after he failed to beat out Nick Folk for kicking duties, and the former will look for his next opportunity elsewhere. He has not played in a regular-season game since signing with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Supplies all nine points Monday
Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.
The Raiders' offense was limited to just 218 total net yards in Monday's loss, but Carlson put the team on the board with field goals from 54, 40 and 37 yards. The veteran kicker has started the season 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on PATs. Next up for the Raiders is a tough road game against the Commanders on Sunday.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Connects on all four kicks
Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Chargers' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.
All four of Dicker's kicks came from within 40 yards, with his 38-yard try early in the first quarter being his longest kick. He hasn't attempted a field goal more than 40 yards, but his distance has never been an issue as he went 16-for-20 across the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons. Dicker's leg will be needed in the Chargers' Week 3 contest against a Broncos defense that yielded five field goals to Spencer Shrader across the Colts' seven offensive scoring drives in Week 2.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Misses another kick in Week 2
McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt and made two PATs in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans.
McLaughlin once again connected with the upright in Week 2, missing a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter. The kicker has now missed two field goals and one extra-point try over the first two games of the year, and he'll look to get back on track in the team's Week 3 matchup with the Jets on Sunday.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Connects on two FGAs in Week 2
Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made one PAT in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Fairbairn made a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 53-yard make in the fourth. The kicker has now opened the season having gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts, including three makes from 50-plus yards, over two games.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Reverts to practice squad
Patterson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.
Patterson is filling in as the team's kicker due to Jason Sanders being on injured reserve with a hip injury. Patterson has made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries so far this season, and he'll likely be elevated once again ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup versus the Bills on Thursday night.

Will Reichard K | MIN
Vikings' Will Reichard: Scores team's only points Week 2
Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and didn't try any extra points in Sunday's 22-6 loss to Atlanta.
Minnesota didn't have much to celebrate on a day when its offense struggled mightily, but Reichard at least kept the team from getting shut out by nailing both of his field-goal tries. The first was a chip-shot 33-yarder in the second quarter, while the second was a more challenging 51-yarder with time expiring just before halftime. Reichard has begun the season a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal tries through two games, with two of his makes coming from over 50 yards.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses field goal in Week 2
Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.
Butker missed a 58-yard field goal wide right in the first quarter before later connecting on a 56-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the second quarter. The kicker's miss proved to be the difference in the contest, though it's hard to pin the blame on him considering the distance. Butker has now converted four of five field goals, two of which were from 50-plus yards, and made two out of three PATs over the first two games in 2025.
