  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Busy first half in Week 1 loss

    Aubrey made both of his field-goal attempts and a pair of PATs in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

    The Cowboys started hot on offense, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives before setting Aubrey up for field goals of 41 and 53 yards. After making the latter kick to close out the first half, Aubrey didn't get another chance to add to his total as Philadelphia's defense stepped up in the second half. Aubrey's mix of power and accuracy is elite, so he should remain one of the top kickers in fantasy as long as Dallas' offense moves the ball at a decent clip.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Won't practice Friday

    Bass (left hip/groin) won't practice Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Per coach Sean McDermott, the Bills have yet to rule anyone out (including Bass) for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, but at this stage it looks like veteran kicker Matt Prater, who is on Buffalo's practice squad, may be filling in for the team this weekend.

    Bills' Tyler Bass: DNP Thursday as team adds kicker

    Bass (hip/groin) didn't practice Thursday.

    Bass is trending in the wrong direction, as he was unable to take the practice field Thursday due to left hip and groin injuries after logging a limited session Wednesday. The Bills signed veteran kicker Matt Prater to their practice squad Thursday, giving them an alternative within the organization if Bass is unavailable against the Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 1.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Limited on Wednesday

    Bass (hip/groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Bass dealt with the injury during the preseason but was able to kick in the Bills' preseason finale 11 days ago. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback in the week-plus since, Bass should be okay for Sunday night's Week 1 opener against the Ravens.

  • Lenny Krieg K | ATL

    Lenny Krieg: Remaining in Atlanta

    The Falcons signed Krieg to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Krieg will stick around in Atlanta on the practice squad after failing to overtake Younghoe Koo for the starting kicking job. Krieg went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt across three preseason games.

  • Harrison Mevis: Practice-squad bound

    Mevis signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Mevis impressed in the UFL during the 2025 season, connecting on 20 of 21 field-goal attempts. He hit three of four field goals during the preseason but missed his lone attempt from beyond 50 yards. Meanwhile, veteran Nick Folk won the kicking job after a perfect preseason in addition to a lengthy track record. Mevis will be the next man up in case Folk gets injured or his accuracy drops off.

  • Charlie Smyth: Makes practice squad

    Smyth signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    As expected, Blake Grupe won the kicking job in New Orleans, so Smyth will be the de facto backup for the 2025 season like he was last season. Smyth is from Northern Ireland and stood out at the 2024 NFL Combine by hitting 12 of 16 field-goal attempts. He hit all four field-goal tries during the preseason, two of which were from beyond 50 yards.

  • Jude McAtamney: Signed to G-Men's practice squad

    The Giants signed McAtamney to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Graham Gano will be the Giants' starting kicker for the start of the regular season while McAtamney sticks around on the practice squad. McAtamney made both of his field-goal attempts and all 11 of his extra-point tries across three preseason games.

  • Harrison Mevis: Loses kicking competition

    Mevis was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.

    Mevis was considered the underdog in the team's kicking competition after the Jets signed Nick Folk in July, and the team will indeed go with the veteran Folk to begin the season. Mevis has yet to kick in a regular-season NFL game, but injuries or struggles from kickers across the league could open up an opportunity at some point for the former UFL standout.

  • Jude McAtamney: Let go by New York

    McAtamney was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

    McAtamney inked a reserve/future contract with New York in January, and went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts, including a 42-yarder, while making all 11 of his PATs over the Giants three preseason contests. The kicker will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely stick around the Giants' practice squad for the second straight year.
