  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Signs with Packers

    The Packers signed Havrisik to the active roster Saturday.

    The Packers' regular kicker Brandon McManus is dealing with a quad injury, so the team held tryouts for both Havrisik and Greg Joseph on Thursday. The signing of Havrisik thus is insurance in the event McManus isn't able to go Sunday, which will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. In nine appearances for the Rams in 2023, Havrisik connected on 15 of 20 field-goal attempts and 19 of 22 point-after tries.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Questionable for MNF

    Santos (right thigh) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest in Washington.

    Santos logged three straight full practices coming out of the Bears' Week 5 bye, but the team has yet to clear him for Week 6 action due to a right thigh injury. Chicago has Jake Moody on its practice squad, but if he isn't brought up to the active roster by Monday afternoon, Santos would be in line to resume his role as the Bears' placekicker.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Questionable for Week 6

    McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus showed up on Green Bay's first Week 6 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a right quad injury, and he maintained that activity level through Friday. During a media session Thursday, he said "I plan on playing" against Cincinnati, but his status now won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. McManus added that the "tug" he felt in his quad Wednesday "felt very similar to when I had a quad-type deal in 2022," but he ended up taking the rest of that week off and handled placekicking duties on the ensuing Sunday. If there ends up being any doubt about McManus' status from a Packers perspective, the team may elevate Mark McNamee from the practice squad Saturday. If that doesn't occur, though, McManus should be good to go this weekend.

  • Titans' Matthew Wright: Set to kick for Titans on Sunday

    Wright is slated to kick for the Titans in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Wright, who joined the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, is slated to be elevated ahead of Sunday's contest, with fellow kicker Joey Slye (calf) having been ruled out this week. Through five games to date, Slye has recorded a total of 43 points, including 10 in a Week 5 win over the Cardinals. With that pace in mind, Wright represents a lineup option for those scrambling for kicker help this weekend.

    Titans' Joey Slye: Won't kick for Titans on Sunday

    Slye (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    With Slye sidelined, fellow kicker Matthew Wright is slated to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest. Slye's next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 19 against the Patriots.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: No FGAs in win

    McAtamney did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-5 on extra-point tries in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.

    McAtamney was signed to the active roster Thursday, but for the second week in a row, he only kicked PATs. The kicker has gone 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and 7-for-8 on PATs over three games this year, and he will look to be more involved in Week 7 against the Broncos.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Limited action in loss

    Elliott made his only field-goal try and went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

    Elliott was limited to just one field goal for the second straight week, making a 42-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the game. The kicker has now gone 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts, while making all 16 of his extra-point tries over six games this season.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: DNP again with calf injury

    Slye (calf) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

    It's Slye's first week on the injury report this season, and back-to-back DNPs certainly puts his status for Week 6 against the Raiders in question. Matthew Wright was recently signed to the Titans' practice squad as insurance.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: Signed to active roster

    McAtamney was signed to the Giants' active roster Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    McAtamney will operate as New York's starting kicker for the third week in a row, as the team squares off with Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old has gone 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs over the last two contests while filling in for Graham Gano (groin).

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Absent for second straight practice

    Slye (calf) didn't practice Thursday.

    He'll miss out on a second straight practice while he tends to a right calf injury. The Titans signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad Wednesday, and he'll presumably be elevated in the event Slye isn't able to handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Raiders.
