Elliott made one of his two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans.

Elliott has not seen many opportunities behind an Eagles offense that has struggled to put up points this year, and when he has, he has not been consistent. The 25-year-old has missed at least one kick in seven different games this season, including in three straight.

Maher was waived from the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maher has been with Houston's practice squad since mid-October, but his run in the organization came without a regular-season appearance. Ka'imi Fairbairn has been able to avoid missing any time thus far in 2020, keeping Maher from the field. The Nebraska product struggled during his second season with the Cowboys in 2019, converting just 20 of 30 field-goal tries.

Boswell didn't attempt any field goals but converted on his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

Boswell missed last week's loss to Washington due to a hip issue, but he practiced for most of the week leading up to Sunday's matchup. Pittsburgh failed to generate much offensive production against Buffalo, so Boswell's workload in the loss was minimal. The 29-year-old has been effective when needed this season, but the Steelers have had fewer scoring opportunities recently due to their offensive woes.

The Jets claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the Jaguars on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

McLaughlin missed two kicks in last week's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, leading to the Jaguars cutting him Saturday. He could land on his feet with a starting role in New York. In this past Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks, Jets kicker Sergio Castillo missed three of four field-goal tries, and his tenure with the team is likely coming to an end. In turn, McLaughlin likely will start in Sunday's game against the Rams as long as Sam Ficken (groin) doesn't return from IR.

McManus will be heading to the reserve/COVID-19 list, per his personal Twitter account.

McManus adds that his close contact with a COVID-infected individual took place outside of Broncos headquarters and that it is his intention to still suit up against the Bills on Saturday. McManus's confidence aside, the news does place his availability in jeopardy given the short week. If he's able to play, he'll be coming off one of the roughest outings of his career in which he missed two of four point-after attempts.

Hopkins made three of four field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.

Hopkins hit a 51-yard field goal, tying his season long, and he added two more kicks from within 40 yards. While he did miss a 53-yarder, that was his first miss in three games. Hopkins has now made eight of nine field-goal attempts and all nine extra-point tries over the last three games. He'll look to keep it rolling against the Seahawks in Week 15.

Blankenship made three field-goal attempts and five extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders.

The Colts torched the Raiders on the ground and through the air, allowing Blankenship to put up 14 points. All of his field goals came from within 40 yards, but it was a significant feat nonetheless. The rookie now ranks fourth in the league with 116 points through 13 games.

Zuerlein converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Three early Cincy fumbles gave the Cowboys plenty of extra possessions, and after a rough night in Baltimore last week, Zuerlein didn't waste any of his opportunities this time around. He's kicked at least three FGs in four of the last six games, and he could be busy again in Week 15's clash with the 49ers.

Myers made two field-goal attempts and four of five extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

Myers made field goals from 29 and 41 yards, extending his streak to 18 straight field goals without a miss this year. He and Mason Crosby are the only two kickers without a field-goal miss this season. However, Myers did misfire on an extra point for the third time since Week 8. He'll look to get back to perfect in Week 15 against Washington.

Prater made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his PATs during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.

The Lions were able to punch it in for a touchdown three of the four times they managed to get in scoring position, limiting Prater's opportunities. Despite a welcoming matchup Week 15 matchup with a struggling Titans defense, Prater's chances of a bounce-back performance will be dinged if quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) is forced to miss time.
