Koo (quadriceps) was limited in practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Koo's right quad is a little sore after he converted all nine of his kicks in last week's 43-6 drubbing of the Raiders. Unless his practice participation declines as the week unfolds, Koo should be able to suit up when the Saints come to town Sunday.

Elliott made his lone field-goal try but missed his only extra-point opportunity in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.

Elliott missed the extra-point after the Eagles' first touchdown of the day at the end of the first half. It didn't faze him coming out of the locker room, however, as he converted a 42-yarder midway through the third quarter. The Memphis product has attempted more than one field goal just once since Week 3.

McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt, a 58-yarder, during Sunday's 31-3 loss to New Orleans.

The Broncos took a five-yard loss on third down midway through the third quarter on Sunday, pushing a tough field-goal try back even farther. McManus nailed it with room to spare, breaking his previous career long of 57 yards set back in 2015 and keeping alive Denver's streak of never being shut out at home. Sunday was obviously a unique situation with an undrafted rookie wide receiver forced to play quarterback. Expect a few more opportunities for McManus Sunday night with Drew Lock back in the fold. In Week 7 against Kansas City, McManus converted a 43-yard field goal and one of two point-after attempts, just his second point-after miss since Week 3 of the 2016 season.

Myers made all three field-goal attempts and two extra-point tries in Monday's 23-17 win over the Eagles.

The woes of the early portion of the season -- when he attempted just two field goals over five weeks -- are long gone, and Myers is getting the opportunities that a kicker attached to the Seahawks' offense would expect. He has attempted, and converted on, 10 field goals over the last four games. The 29-year-old now ranks 13th among kickers with 83 points this season.

Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Buccaneers.

After a pair of zero field-goal attempt games in two of the previous three weeks, Butker made his mark again Sunday, which he needed to in a three-point win. He remains one of the best fantasy kicker options behind the league's second-highest scoring offense (31.6 points per game).

Badgley made his lone field-goal attempt but missed his lone extra point in Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Bills.

The missed extra-point attempt was Badgley's second of the season, but he did manage to successfully make his field-goal attempt from 27 yards out. The kicker has proved he is a reliable option from 40 yards or less but is not consistent past that.

Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons.

Carlson has averaged just 6.5 points per game over the Raiders' last two contests, but additional scoring opportunities could arise Week 13 against the Jets. He was perfect on field-goal attempts from 24 and 29 yards this past Sunday in Atlanta.

Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

Sanders' two kicks came from 54 and 51 yards out, respectively. The third-year pro is compiling an outstanding season, as he has just one miss across 11 contests. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 13.

Gonzalez connected on one of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.

The Cardinals rolled out Gonzalez to try a 45-yard field goal to put the team up three points with 1:47 remaining in regulation. The 25-year-old pushed the kick wide right, providing the Patriots with a chance to win the game. As time expired in the fourth quarter, Patriots kicker Nick Folk drilled a 50-yarder to hand the Cardinals another heartbreaking defeat. This is the second time in four weeks that Gonzalez has missed a key field-goal try, as he left a potentially game-tying 49-yard attempt short in the Week 9 loss to the Dolphins as well. He's now 16-for-21 on field goals this year, and he's connected on just 10 of 15 tries from beyond 40 yards. Job security is a legitimate question right now.

The Steelers signed Wright to the practice squad Monday.

The Steelers are wisely adding an emergency kicker with playoffs on the horizon. Starting kicker Chris Boswell isn't in any danger of losing his job based on merit, but depth is essential with COVID-19 still prompting uncertainty on a weekly basis. Wright hasn't played a game since entering the league as an undrafted rookie in 2019.
