Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three extra-point tries during Saturday's 27-17 preseason win over Buffalo.

Boswell didn't play during last weekend's preseason opener since rookie B.T. Potter handled placekicking duties, but the veteran served as the team's kicker against Buffalo and was perfect on five kicks. Boswell converted just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts last year, and it appears to be a tight battle for a roster spot between the 32-year-old and Potter ahead of the regular season.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that there are no plans to bring in another kicker to compete with York during the preseason, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

York has struggled in exhibition action, hitting just half of his six field-goal attempts. He had two chances at a go-ahead kick late Thursday, missing wide right on a 47-yarder and wide left from five yards closer after the Eagles were flagged for a penalty. Nonetheless, Stefanski indicated confidence in the kicker, saying, "Cade's our kicker. We support him. We have a ton of confidence in him. That's really as simple as that." York was up-and-down as a rookie last season, making just 24 of 32 field-goal attempts but showing a strong leg with a 4-for-7 mark from 50-plus yards.

Pineiro (groin) is not expected to play in Friday's game at the Giants, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Pineiro's absence will mark his second straight exhibition game missed while he continues to nurse a groin injury. In his absence, Matthew Wright is expected to handle kicking duties. The 27-year-old will have only one more chance to suit up in the preseason.

Dicker is expected to compete against Dustin Hopkins for the kicking role with the Chargers, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.

Hopkins had been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for the majority of camp up until now, which has led to Dicker taking on all the kicking responsibilities. However, it now looks like this is going to be a legitimate competition. Dicker made all six of his field-goal attempts in the competition at practice today and is now 58-of-64 (90.6 percent) at camp in kicks that were being counted. Hopkins, on the other hand, is 10-of-15 on his attempts.

Hopkins (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Hopkins, who had been dealing with an unspecified injury, thus kicked for the first time since the second day of camp (July 27). Now that Hopkins is back on the field, the 32-year-old is slated to compete with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' Week 1 placekicking assignment. The two are listed as co-starters on the team's posted unofficial depth chart, but considering that Dicker has made 58 of 64 kicks (90.6 percent) of his attempts during camp thus far, Hopkins will need to look sharp going forward in order to make his case to claim a roster spot.

York was successful on three of four field-goal attempts in Thursday's 18-18 preseason game against the Eagles.

York, who had missed attempts in each of the first two preseason games, made all three tries during the first half Thursday. But all anyone will remember are the misses near the end of the game that could have sealed a win for the Browns. He went wide right on a 47-yarder -- the third time he went wide right during preseason action -- but a Philadelphia penalty gave him another chance, five yards closer. That one he hooked to the left. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski stood by the young kicker, telling Zac Jackson of The Athletic that he's not interested in adding another to kicker to compete with York. Nevertheless, the misses are alarming.

Podlesny was waived by the Vikings on Thursday.

Podlesny joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in the spring. His exit will leave Greg Joseph, who has handled kicking duties for Minnesota each of the last two seasons, as the only kicker on the roster. Podlesney will now work to find another opportunity.

Maher is currently the only kicker on the Broncos roster after Denver waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation on Tuesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

According to Renck, Maher, who missed both of his field-goal attempts in this past Friday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, converted seven of nine field-goal tries in Tuesday's practice, including a 59-yarder at the end of a two-minute drill. For now, Maher is Denver's lone kicker, but it's possible that the team brings in some competition. Head coach Sean Payton noted Tuesday "we will go day-to-day with where we are at with the kickers," while adding that Maher is "competing against 31 other teams" for Denver's kicking job. With that in mind, the Broncos will likely see how Maher performs over the rest of the preseason while also monitoring other teams' kicking battles before settling on an option for Week 1.

Santos is the Bears' starting kicker, as there is no kicker on the roster for him to compete with, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

Santos has been extremely accurate in his three years with the Bears and he was more than 90 percent accurate on his field-goal attempts in 2022. The reason he wasn't much of a fantasy factor was because the offense often didn't score enough points. If the offense can make a leap this season, his accuracy may intersect with volume. If that happens, he could be a sneaky option in 12-team leagues.

Zuerlein made both of his field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Saturday's 27-0 preseason win over the Panthers.

The Jets still have two preseason games left, but Zuerlein's ready for the regular season to start. After connecting from 47 and 45 yards out in this one, the veteran kicker has made all five of his field-goal attempts this preseason, with each kick coming from at least 44 yards away.
