Folk made his lone field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Ravens.

Folk has connected on 14 straight field goals, including seven kicks from beyond 40 yards, but he's missed two extra points in that stretch. His job security isn't in question, and he has a favorable stretch coming up, as three of his next four games are in a dome setting.

Slye made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

Slye converted from 46 yards on his lone field goal, but with his opportunities limited Sunday, he posted his fourth straight game with single-digit points. Although Slye still sports 81 points through 10 games, his recent outputs have slowed his pace significantly.

Fairbairn missed his lone field-goal attempt and successfully converted his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Browns.

Fairbairn's wind-blown 46-yard attempt sailed wide left, his third miss of the season. The Texans eschewed a field-goal try earlier in the game when interim head coach Romeo Crennel opted to go for it on fourth down inside the Browns' five-yard line, an attempt that proved unsuccessful. Fairbairn returns home, where the conditions will be more favorable, in Week 11 against the Patriots.

McLaughlin converted both field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Packers.

The 24-year-old performed well in his first game for Jacksonville, especially given the 20-plus mph winds Sunday at Lambeau Field. McLaughlin converted field goals from 52 and 31 yards, both of which gave the Jaguars the lead at the time. Aldrick Rosas is on the practice squad and will have his suspension lifted after next week's matchup with Pittsburgh, but McLaughlin should earn a longer look from Jacksonville if he puts together another strong performance.

Bass made all three of his field-goal tries in Sunday's loss to Arizona, from 54, 55 and 58 yards. He also made all three of his extra-point tries.

Bass became only the second kicker in NFL history -- Justin Tucker being the other -- to make three 50-plus yarders in the first half of a game. The rookie has a big leg, and he has some decent job security after connecting on 22 of 28 field-goal attempts (78.6 percent) and 31 of 32 extra-point tries so far this season. Bass is also adept at getting touchbacks on kickoffs, as he's tied for third in the league with 40 of them so far.

Lutz hit both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Saints' 27-13 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

As usual, Lutz was automatic in the comfortable victory, as he scored nine points for the victorious Saints. He'll be in a favorable spot against Atlanta when the Saints take on the Falcons in Week 11.

Prater converted three of three field-goal attempts and three of three PATs during Sunday's 30-27 win over Washington.

Including the game-winning field goal from 59-yards out in the final seconds, Prater drilled two kicks from beyond 50 yards, which is his NFL-record seventh career time of doing so. It's also the sixth time in nine games this season that Prater has attempted at least three field goals. Even with the injuries mounting on the Lions defense, Prater and Detroit should be able to find success in Week 11 against a collapsing Panthers defense that was diced for more than 550 total yards and 46 points by Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Folk (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Folk played through a back injury Week 9 versus the Jets, making all six kicks (three field goals, three PATs) during a 30-27 win. He proceeded to be a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend with his status in question. Now cleared to suit up Sunday, Folk may not have many chances to produce versus a Baltimore scoring defense ranked first in the NFL entering Week 10 (17.8 points per game).

The Giants and Gano agreed to a contract extension Sunday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Sidelined all of last season due to recurring knee issues, Gano found himself on the outs in Carolina due to the presence of Joey Slye, but the veteran kicker joined the Giants in mid-August and hasn't looked back. Through 10 games, Gano has hit true on 21 of 22 field-goal attempts and all 16 point-after tries, averaging 7.9 points per game in the process. The extension runs through the 2023 season and includes $14 million in new money -- $9.5 million guaranteed -- per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Hopkins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

While tending to the right groin injury, Hopkins followed a regimen of limited practices Wednesday through Friday before taking a questionable designation into the weekend. Considering Washington didn't elect to add another kicker to its roster before Saturday's deadline for Week 10 transactions, Hopkins never seemed at any real risk of sitting out Sunday. The 30-year-old has kicked in all eight of the Football Team's games this season, converting 10 of 14 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra-point tries.
