Bass (pelvis) will not dress for the Bills' preseason opener against the Giants on Saturday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

The Bills signed Caden Davis on Friday, and he will handle the kicking duties for Saturday's preseason opener. Bass is working through a pelvic injury, and the veteran kicker will focus on recovering enough to be available for the Bills' second preseason game against the Bears on Sunday, Aug. 17.

The Bills signed Davis on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Tyler Bass is dealing with a pelvic injury, so the Bills need a kicker for at least Saturday's preseason contest against the Giants. Davis has yet to kick in a regular-season NFL game.

Shrader made three of four field-goal attempts in Thursday's preseason loss at Baltimore. He missed a 52-yard attempt.

Shrader was seen as having a significant lead over Maddux Trujillo for the placekicking job in training camp, and Thursday's game should help his cause. Trujillo may get more of an opportunity in the next preseason game (he converted his only extra-point attempt in Thursday's game).

Myers connected on a 48-yard field goal and made two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 23-23 tie versus the Raiders.

Last season, Myers hit 86.7 percent of his field-goal attempts, ranking 12th in the league among kickers who played at least 10 games. He also finished 24th by making 92.5 percent of his extra-point tries. Myers has been a mostly steady starter for the Seahawks, and he still has plenty of leg at 34 years old, as evidenced by a 59-yarder last season.

Boswell will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars while seeking a contract extension, Joe Rutter of TribLive.com reports.

Boswell is in the third year of his four-year, $20 million contract, and he is due to make $3.12 million and $3.22 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively. He has been one of the most accurate kickers since entering the NFL in 2015 and has connected on 90 percent or more of his field-goal attempts in five of the last six seasons. In 17 regular-season games in 2024, Boswell made a career-high 41 field goals (on 44 attempts, including 13-for-15 from 50-plus yards) while converting all 35 of his extra-point tries. Boswell's absence during practice has opened the door for undrafted rookie Ben Sauls to handle kicking duties during special-teams periods in practice, and the latter will serve as the Steelers' starting kicker Saturday.

Shrader has opened up a clear lead over Maddux Trujillo in the Colts' kicking competition, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Shrader has been far more accurate in camp, though he missed a long field-goal attempt in the final two-minute drill of a joint practice with Baltimore on Tuesday. While Trujillo doesn't appear to be a serious contender to win the job over Shrader, Boyd believes the Colts could add another kicker if Shrader struggles in the preseason, which begins for the Colts with a road game in Baltimore on Thursday.

Bass (pelvis) isn't practicing Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

With Bass's status for Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants in doubt, Buffalo worked out two other kickers Wednesday and will likely sign one before Saturday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. Bass's job security isn't in question once healthy, as he spent the previous five seasons as Buffalo's kicker and converted at least 82.4 percent of regular-season field-goal attempts in every campaign.

Moody is the only kicker on San Francisco's roster after the team released Greg Joseph on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers also signed four new players, none of whom is a kicker. Moody hasn't lived up to his draft capital -- 99th overall in 2023 -- but it does appear he'll get a third year as San Francisco's placekicker. The team should provide enough kicking volume to give Moody some fantasy utility if he can just improve his accuracy enough to keep the job all season.

The 49ers release Joseph on Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The team signed Joseph in May to compete with incumbent Jake Moody for the placekicking job. After two weeks of training camp, the 49ers apparently have seen enough to know that Joseph isn't their guy, leaving Moody as the probable Week 1 starter.

McPherson is reverting back to the original kicking technique that he employed in 2021-22 after switching the last two years, a change that drew mixed results, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. He hasn't yet missed a kick in camp.

McPherson initially employed a gentle draw, but switched to a kick that in theory flew straighter, taking the wind out of the equation more. But the new technique robbed him of a little distance, and last season the control eluded him, too, leading to six missed kicks, including two critical misses in a loss to the Chargers.
