Blake Grupe K | NO
Saints' Blake Grupe: Misses long field goal in Week 7
Grupe missed his lone field-goal attempt and made both of his extra-point tries during the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Grupe wasn't able to put the Saints on the board late in the first quarter after his 53-yard field-goal attempt missed wide right. The third-year kicker has missed at least one field goal in five of the Saints' first seven games of the regular season. Grupe has gone 14-for-20 on field-goal tries and 11-for-11 on extra-point attempts this season.

Bears' Jake Moody: Busy day in Week 7 win
Moody made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Moody was elevated from the practice squad to the Bears' active roster for a second consecutive week in place of Cairo Santos (thigh). Moody was responsible for the Bears' first six points of the game with field goals from 27 and 39 yards in the first half, and he helped expand Chicago's lead in the second half after connecting on two more field goals. Moody is now 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries across two games with the Bears. He is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad by Chicago one more time this season, which could happen as soon as Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Patriots' Andy Borregales: Makes five kicks vs. Tennessee
Borregales made his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries during the Patriots' 31-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Borregales put the Patriots on the board with a 36-yard field-goal in the first quarter, and the rest of his kicks came after touchdowns in a blowout win. The rookie sixth-rounder has made all of his kick attempts over his last five games, going 5-for-5 on field-goal tries and 14-for-14 on extra-point attempts over that span. Borregales' scoring floor should remain elevated as long as the Patriots' offense continues to fire on all cylinders.

Titans' Joey Slye: Makes all three kicks Week 7
Slye went 2-for-2 on his field-goal attempts and made his lone point-after try during the Titans' 31-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Slye got the scoring started with a 49-yard field goal early in the first quarter, and he tacked on a 50-yarder near the end of the first half to give the Titans a 13-10 lead. He was unable to play in Week 6 against the Raiders due to a calf injury, but the veteran kicker progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. Slye has connected on 15 of 19 field-goal attempts and has gone 5-for-6 on extra-point tries through six regular-season games.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Misses another kick
Little missed his lone field-goal attempt and was successful on his only PAT during Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.
After missing a field goal and an extra point last week versus Seattle, Little again failed to convert a 50-yard field goal Sunday in London. The 2024 sixth-round pick missed just two kicks as a rookie last year but has struggled to find his footing in 2025, going 10-for-14 on field goals through seven games.

Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Kicking for McManus again
Havrisik will serve as the Packers' placekicker Sunday at Arizona with Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) inactive for the contest, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Havrisik is getting his second chance to supplement the Packers offense in as many weekends as McManus remains sidelined due a right quad injury. In last Sunday's win versus the Bengals, Havrisik connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Inactive again
McManus (right quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game in Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
McManus thus will miss his second contest in a row due to the right quadriceps that he tweaked at the beginning of Week 6 prep. In McManus' stead, Lucas Havrisik will fill again after striking true on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during last Sunday's win against the Bengals. McManus' next opportunity for game action is next Sunday's road matchup with the Steelers.

Bears' Jake Moody: Up again for Week 7
The Bears elevated Moody from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Moody thus will handle placekicking duties in place of Cairo Santos (thigh) for a second consecutive contest. In his first chance to kick in the NFL since the 49ers jettisoned him after Week 1, Moody connected on four of five field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Monday's 25-24 win at Washington.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Questionable for Week 7
McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
McManus didn't practice this week due to the right quad that he tweaked during last Wednesday's session and sidelined him this past Sunday against the Bengals, but Green Bay is keeping the door ajar for the 34-year-old to be available this weekend. Regarding that, McManus said Thursday, "Am I feeling better? Yes. And it's kind of a similar process of what we're game planning to try to get up to." The Packers have a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, and if McManus is included among the team's inactives about 90 minutes prior, Lucas Havrisik will handle placekicking duties for a second consecutive contest.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Cleared to face former team
Slye (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Slye was limited in all three of Tennessee's practices after sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Raiders, but he evidently looked healthy enough to avoid an injury designation. The Titans cut Matthew Wright on Friday after Wright filled in for Slye in Week 6, providing another indicator of the team's confidence in Slye's health. Slye's opportunities could be limited since the Titans are scoring only 13.8 points per game and the Patriots are allowing just 20.0 points per game.
