The Packers signed Havrisik to the practice squad Friday.

Green Bay cut Havrisik on Wednesday, but he's returning to the organization as placekicker depth behind Brandon McManus.

Pineiro (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Matt Gay will fill in again for the 49ers in a game that could feature snow.

The Rams waived Karty on Friday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

One of the few liabilities on the Rams' roster, Karty was a miserable 10-for-15 on field-goal attempts and 23-for-26 on extra points through eight games prior to being benched in favor of Harrison Mevis, who has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on his kicks through three games.

McPherson made all six of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Thursday night's 32-14 win over the Ravens.

McPherson accounted for Cincinnati's first 12 points, making kicks from 31, 42, 24 and 33 yards out to give the Bengals a 12-7 lead at halftime. He then kicked a pair of PATs before making kicks from 52 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter. Through 12 games this season, McPherson is 23-for-26 on field goals a perfect 27-of-27 on extra points.

Loop converted both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday night's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

The Ravens turned the ball over five times against Cincinnati, which contributed to fewer attempts for Loop. The rookie kicker is 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-30 on PATs through 12 games.

Butker made all four of his extra-point attempts during Kansas City's loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Butker didn't attempt any field goals for just the third time this season. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent so far this season, converting just 87.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries apiece.

Aubrey made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

Aubrey connected on a 49-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but his big leg wasn't challenged during Thursday's win after adding two more field goals from 36 and 26 yards. It was his sixth game with two or more made field goals but his first since Week 7 against the Commanders. Aubrey's fantasy value will remain elevated for as long as the Cowboys' offense keeps humming, and the third-year kicker is now 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 37-for-38 on extra-point tries through 12 regular-season games.

Bates made all three of his point-after tries and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

Bates converted his only field goal, a 31-yarder, late in the fourth quarter, cutting the Lions' deficit a touchdown at the time. Bates was also perfect on all three extra-point attempts and is now 16-for-20 on field goals and 40-for-42 on PATs through 12 games this season.

McManus made all four point-after tries as well as his sole field goal attempt during the Packers' 31-24 win over the Lions on Thursday.

McManus converted his one field-goal opportunity from 45 yards out and was automatic on PATs following the Packers' four touchdown drives. With Thursday's production, McManus moved to 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-23 on extra-point tries over nine regular-season games.

Pineiro (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pineiro continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the 49ers' Week 12 win against the Panthers. Friday's practice report will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Browns, but if Pineiro is not cleared to play, then Matt Gay would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a second consecutive week.
