    Greg Joseph: Parts ways with Washington

    Joseph was cut from the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

    Joseph signed with Washington's practice squad Dec. 13 and was elevated for Week 15 against New Orleans. In that contest, he went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and made both his extra-point attempts, but he reverted to the practice squad shortly thereafter. Joseph's opportunity with the Commanders came as a result of injuries to Austin Seibert (groin) and Zane Gonzalez, who was dealing with a foot issue at the time of Joseph's elevation. However, with Gonzalez back to full health and Seibert eligible to return from IR, Washington no longer has a need for Joseph's services.

  • Jake Moody K | CHI

    49ers' Jake Moody: Misses from 41 yards out

    Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.

    Moody's 41-yard miss in the third quarter was instrumental to the 49ers' demise, as it would have kept the deficit within one score. Instead, Miami was able to keep the lead just out of reach before De'Von Achane put the game away with a 50-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter. Moody is proving to be just an average kicking option despite his third-round pedigree, and the same could be said for his fantasy value against Detroit next Monday.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Held back by offense again Week 16

    Gano didn't attempt a field goal and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons.

    Gano was successful on the extra-point attempt following a Tyrone Tracy receiving touchdown in the second quarter, but that was the only scoring chance he got in the game, as Atlanta subsequently reeled off 34 straight points. The veteran kicker hasn't had a field-goal opportunity in either of the Giants' past two games, and his prospects over the final two contests of the regular season aren't bright given the poor state of the team's offense. New York is averaging just 11.8 points over its past five games.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Another missed PAT in victory

    Karty connected on both his field-goal attempts and made one of two PAT attempts during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.

    The rookie's first action of the contest seemed like a bad omen, as he clanged his first PAT attempt off the right upright. Karty pulled things together from there, however, and made his only other PAT attempt, along with field goals of 38 and 45 yards. Karty's final two games of the season are home contests at SoFi Stadium, where the rookie kicker is a mediocre 8-for-11 on the season on field goals. The Cardinals are up first for Karty and the Rams in Week 17.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Scores 17 points in Week 16 win

    Sanders converted all five of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers. He also made both of his extra-point tries.

    Sanders accounted for more than half of Miami's total points during the Week 16 win, his most productive game of the 2024 campaign. The veteran is now three field-goal conversions away from his career-best mark of 36, with Sunday's upcoming road matchup against the Browns representing his first of two remaining regular-season contests to set a new career high.

  • Jets' Anders Carlson: Job in jeopardy following loss

    Carlson went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his lone extra-point attempt during the Jets' 19-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Carlson missed his only extra-point try of the game late in the first quarter following the Jets' 14-play, 99-yard drive that ended with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams. Carlson made a 21-yard chip shot as time expired in the first half, but his 49-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter missed wide right, and it was a crucial miss as it prevented the Jets from reducing the deficit to one score. Sunday's loss could've been Carlson's last game with Gang Green, as head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that the Jets are going to explore their options at kicker this week, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. The Jets don't have a kicker signed to the practice squad, but they will likely add one ahead of their Week 17 matchup against the Bills on Sunday.

  • Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Nails all four extra-point attempts

    Gonzalez converted all four of his extra-point tries during the Commanders' 36-33 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Gonzalez was sidelined for the Commander's Week 15 win over the Saints due to a left foot injury. He didn't practice Wednesday while attending the birth of his child, but he managed to progress enough in his recovery from his foot injury to play Sunday. He was limited to extra-point duties in Sunday's NFC East clash, and he's a perfect 14-for-14 on extra-point tries in his four games with the Commanders while filling in for Austin Seibert (groin).

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Sends game into overtime

    Ryland went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Cardinals' 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Ryland once again served as the Cardinals' placekicker Sunday due to Matt Prater (knee) not being activated off injured reserve. Ryland's biggest kick came as time expired in the fourth quarter, when he nailed a 58-yard field-goal try to send the game into overtime and to temporarily keep Arizona's slim playoff hopes alive. In the five games since the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Ryland has gone 14-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether Ryland or Prater will handle kicking duties in the Cardinals' Week 17 game against the Rams on Saturday.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Hits 50-yard field goal in win

    Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during the Bills' 24-21 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Bass connected on a 50-yard field-goal midway through the third quarter to give the Bills their first lead of Sunday's AFC East clash. Bass is now 4-for-4 on field-goal tries from 50-plus yards, and through 15 regular-season games, he's gone 22-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 53-for-57 on extra-point tries. Bass will look to add to his tally in Week 17 when the Bills welcome in Aaron Rodgers and the Jets on Sunday.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Struggle continues

    Hopkins did not attempt a field goal and missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 24-6 loss to Cincinnati in Week 16.

    Hopkins, who was inactive Week 15 amid a five-game stretch of missed kicks, added another failed attempt to what has been a season gone wrong for both him and the Browns. The extra-point miss was Hopkins' third in 19 attempts; he's also missed nine of 25 field-goal tries. The kicker who replaced Hopkins last week, Riley Patterson, was poached by Atlanta off Cleveland's practice squad. As of Monday, the Browns don't have a backup option in place heading into Week 17 against Miami.
