    Giants' Graham Gano: Returning to action

    Gano (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    As expected, Gano will return to action in Week 8, marking his first appearance since suffering a groin injury during pregame warmups ahead of Week 3 against the Chiefs. The veteran kicker was a perfect 9-for-9 during the first two weeks of the season, including 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts. However, only one of those makes was from beyond 40 yards.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Activated from IR

    The Giants activated Gano (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Gano is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his activation from IR -- coupled with the Giants not elevating Younghoe Koo from the practice squad -- indicates that he will play Week 8. Gano missed the Giants' last five games after sustaining a groin injury during pregame warmups in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in the two regular-season games prior to his injury.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Commanders' Matt Gay: Questionable for Week 8

    Gay didn't practice Saturday due to a back injury and is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Kansas City.

    Gay was a late addition to the Commanders' Week 8 injury report, as he didn't have any practice limitations prior to Saturday. Washington currently doesn't roster another kicker, even on its practice squad, so the team would need to sign one before Monday's game as insurance in the event Gay isn't able to suit up.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: On track for Week 8

    Santos (thigh), who's listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, appears ready to make his return, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    The Bears didn't elevate Jake Moody from their practice squad, suggesting Santos is ready to return after missing the team's last two games with a thigh injury. The Tulane product has made six of seven field-goal tries and all 11 extra-point attempts through four contests this year. He's now expected to assume Chicago's top placekicker duties in Week 8.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Listed as questionable again

    McManus (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh.

    After missing the past two games, McManus returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant. He said afterward that he was pleased with both his leg strength and accuracy, but there's still some doubt about his Sunday availability after he failed to upgrade to full practice participation Friday.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Questionable after full practice

    Santos (right thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Santos practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's more likely than not to return from a two-game absence Sunday. Jake Moody filled in effectively while Santos was sidelined. If Santos suits up, he could get plenty of kicking opportunities considering the Ravens are allowing a league-high 32.3 points per game.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Questionable but expects to play

    Gano (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Gano remains on injured reserve, but he's expected to be activated prior to Sunday's game after practicing without limitations all week. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Gano told reporters Friday that he expects to play Sunday. The Giants have Jude McAtamney and Younghoe Koo on the practice squad.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Imperfect in Week 8

    Reichard went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only extra-point attempt in Thursday's 37-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Reichard connected on a 54-yard field goal early in the second quarter before later leaving a 53-yard attempt just short ahead of the break. The kicker has now gone 14-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 13 of his PATs over seven games this season.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes three field goals in win

    Dicker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Thursday's 37-10 win over the Vikings.

    Dicker missed a 49-yard field-goal try wide left in the first quarter before later adding makes from 43, 34 and 45 yards in the second half. The miss was his first of the year on any kick, field goal or extra point, and he's now gone 18-for-19 on field-goal tries over eight games this year.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Returns to limited practice

    McManus (right quadriceps) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

    During the open portion of Thursday's session, McManus was suited up to kick, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, which clearly came to pass. Afterward, McManus told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, "I was happy with where my leg was at and the pain with it. The power was there and the accuracy, so it was a positive day." This marks McManus' first official on-field work since Week 6 prep, when he initially tweaked his right quad, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to put an end to a two-game absence Sunday in Pittsburgh. Lucas Havrisik is on hand for placekicking duties in the event McManus requires more time to recover.
