  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Hits game-winning kick

    Dicker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made two PATs in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Broncos.

    Dicker connected on a 32-yard field goal to cap off the Chargers' first possession of the game before later adding a 24-yarder in the third quarter. The kicker finished off his day with a game-winning 43-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter. Dicker has now made all seven of his field-goal tries, while going 7-for-7 on PATs through three weeks this season.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Drills two more field goals in loss

    Aubrey connected on both of his field-goal attempts in the Cowboys' 31-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    The kicker also connected on a 53-yarder, his fourth from 50 or more in 2025. Altogether, Aubrey is now eight for eight on field-goal tries and six of six on extra-point attempts to begin the season.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Leaves field during anthem

    Gano has a groin injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    The kicker had to be helped off by a trainer before the game even started, per Duggan. Gano has made all five of his field-goal tries and all four of his extra-point attempts in 2025 so far. New York does not have another kicker on the active roster, though Jamie Gillan is the punter and could perhaps step in.

  • Andre Szmyt K | CLE

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Cleared to kick Sunday

    Szmyt (calf) is slated to kick Sunday against the Packers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Per the report, Szmyt's MRI checked out okay, and Saturday the Browns removed the 'questionable' designation that the kicker had carried after being limited in practice Friday. In two games thus far, Szmyt has made two of his three field-goal attempts and three of his four extra-point tries.

  • Falcons' Parker Romo: Signed to active roster

    The Falcons signed Romo from their practice squad to the active roster Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    In the wake of Younghoe Koo missing a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal Week 1 against the Buccaneers, Atlanta signed Romo to the practice squad and then elevated him for a Week 2 matchup with the Vikings, while the former didn't travel with the team. Romo then made all five field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try this past Sunday in a 22-6 win. The Falcons have opted to move forward with Romo as their kicker after releasing Koo in a corresponding move.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Moves back to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Patterson has been subbing in for Jason Myers (hip) to begin the season, and the former has connected on both field-goal attempts and all six point-after tries. Now that Patterson has been elevated three times, though, Miami has used its max number of such transactions on him, meaning he must be signed to the active roster in order to handle kicking duties Week 4 against the Jets and if Myers remains on injured reserve after that point.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Younghoe Koo: Cut loose by Atlanta

    The Falcons released Koo on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    After opening his career with a 3-for-6 showing on field-goal attempts in a four-game stint with the Chargers in 2017, Koo resurfaced with the Falcons in 2019 and had been the team's trusted kicker in the meantime until Week 1 of this season, when he missed a potential game-winning 44-yarder against the Buccaneers. Atlanta then signed Parker Romo to the practice squad and elevated him ahead of this past Sunday's game at Minnesota, while Koo didn't travel with the team. Romo connected on all five FGAs and his only point-after try Week 2, and the performance was enough for the Falcons to decide to move on from Koo and roll with Romo moving forward.

  • Falcons' Parker Romo: Gets Week 3 nod over Koo

    Romo will kick for the Falcons this Sunday at Carolina, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Younghoe Koo is still on the roster, but Romo replaced him for Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings and made all five of his field-goal attempts in the process. Koo didn't even travel with the team, which may be the case again this weekend as the Falcons head to Carolina.

  • Andre Szmyt K | CLE

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Questionable due to calf issue

    Szmyt (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Szmyt is dealing with a calf injury on his left, non-kicking leg that will require an MRI. The Browns don't currently employ a kicker on their practice squad.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Stays perfect on the year

    Patterson converted all three of his extra-point tries in Miami's 31-21 loss to Buffalo on Thursday night.

    The kicker, who was again elevated from the practice squad ahead of the contest to fill in for Jason Sanders (hip), has now made both of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries in 2025. Sanders remains on injured reserve and therefore has to miss at least one more game, meaning Patterson will likely be called on again in a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Monday night, Sept. 29.
