Gonzalez hit all three extra points during Thursday's 28-21 defeat in Seattle.

Just five days removed from putting up a season-best 14 points -- four field goals, two PATs -- Gonzalez matched a campaign low with just three points Week 11. The performance pushed him down to 17th among placekickers in points per game with 7.7, the result of him ranking 13th in field-goal attempts (19) on the year. Fortunately, the offense has provided the second-most point-after tries (33) in the NFL, helping to provide some utility.

Folk (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Folk carried a questionable designation into last week's win over the Ravens as well, but he ended up playing and connected on three of four kicks. Even if the Patriots don't clear Folk before they release their inactives report Sunday, we can infer Folk's status by whether they call up a practice squad kicker by Saturday evening. At this point, Folk is expected to be ready Sunday.

Hopkins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Hopkins played through the same injury last week but missed a 43-yard field goal in a three-point loss to the Lions. It's been a rough year for him overall, with five missed field goals and one shanked extra point through nine games. Hopkins is a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option as far as kickers are concerned, but he at least seems to have a better than 50-50 chance to play Week 11. The team has Kaare Vedvik on the practice squad as a replacement option.

Myers connected on two field goals and made two of three extra-point attempts in Thursday's 28-21 win over the Cardinals.

Myers nailed field goals from 27 and 41 yards and has now connected on all 12 field-goal attempts this season, but he missed his second extra point of the campaign in the second quarter. After failing to garner many opportunities over the first five weeks of the season, Myers has now averaged two field-goal attempts per game over the past five outings.

Folk (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Folk followed a limited practice regimen last week before gaining clearance ahead of the Patriots' win over the Ravens. During the rain-filled outing, Folk connected on his lone field-goal attempt and hit two of three extra-point tries. At this point, there hasn't been any indication that Folk is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup with the Texans.

Hopkins (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN NFL Nation reports.

Hopkins has been playing through the groin injury in recent weeks, though it may be affecting his accuracy, as he had a costly miss in last week's three-point loss to Detroit. The kicker had previously been limited throughout the week, so a downgrade to a missed practice is concerning, though Hopkins would likely put himself on track to suit up Sunday against the Bengals if he's able to return to practice over the next couple days.

McManus made both of his field-goal tries but did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders.

McManus converted from 50 and 33 yards on his respective kicks, improving his already-awesome record so far this season. Through nine games, the veteran has missed merely two of 36 total attempts, netting 70 points in the process.

Tucker made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 23-17 loss to the Patriots.

Tucker converted from 24 yards on his field goal, but for the third straight week was only afforded one attempt outside of PAT work. That trend has left him with six or fewer points in each game over that span, hurting his recent production. He'll hope for more chances in Week 11 versus the Titans.

The Rams signed Gay on Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

After cutting bait with long-time kicker Greg Zuerlein in the offseason, the Rams have cycled through a number of kickers, including Samuel Sloman and Kai Forbath. Forbath was the casualty of an ankle injury this past Sunday versus the Seahawks and was placed on IR, with the corresponding move the signing of Gay. As a member of the Buccaneers last season, Gay made 27 of 35 field-goal attempts and 43 of 48 point-after tries across 16 games.

Badgley had zero field-goal attempts and added three extra points in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins.

The opportunities for Badgley were very limited in this matchup. While the kicker had a less than average performance against the Raiders last week, he at least did not miss any extra points in this contest. Game script essentially relegated Badgley to the sidelines, particularly during the second half as the Chargers attempted to mount an unlikely double-digit comeback. Badgley did manage to convert every one of his extra-point attempts, boosting his total to 22 for the season.
