Elliott left Sunday's game against the Cowboys in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Elliott shanked a 34-yard field goal attempt at the end of the first quarter and was taken to the locker room shortly thereafter. He missed three PAT attempts over the previous two games, but he's been excellent on longer field goals, connecting on five of six tries from 50 or more yards and nine of 10 from 40-49. The Eagles may have to use punter Donnie Jones as their placekicker for the rest of the game if Elliott is diagnosed with a concussion.

Boswell made all four field-goal tries (26, 28, 41, 50) and all four PATs in Thursday's 40-17 win over the Titans.

After what was arguably the worst game of his career in Week 10, Boswell rebounded nicely with a monster performance, rewarding fantasy owners who stuck with him. Pittsburgh hosts a Packers team in Week 12 that's allowing kickers 8.3 points per game.

Santos (groin) met with the Bears on Thursday, but it doesn't appear the team will offer him a contract, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Santos served as the Chiefs' kicker the last three seasons and opened the 2017 campaign with Kansas City, converting all three of his field-goal attempts and all 12 of his extra-point tries in three games before he was waived/injured by the team Sept. 30 while he was dealing with an adductor strain of his groin. Though he's now believed to be fully healthy, the Bears likely weren't motivated to make a change at kicker after Connor Barth submitted his best performance of the season in the Week 10 loss to Green Bay, converting field-goal tries from 45, 44 and 49 yards amid soggy conditions. With the injury behind him, Santos could end up latching on elsewhere before long, given that he was one of the league's better kickers in 2016, ranking fifth in the NFL with an 88.6 percent success rate on field goals while garnering touchbacks on 55.8 percent of his kickoffs.

Koehn worked out with the Giants on Thursday, Dan Duggan of NJ.com reports.

Koehn was one of three kickers to work out for the Giants this week, as the team may be looking for a replacement for Aldrick Rosas, given the rookie's struggles this season. Koehn was waived by the Bengals last Saturday after serving as Randy Bullock's injury replacement in Week 9.

Gano made his lone field-goal attempt and all six of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Monday night's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Gano heads into the bye week in the midst of his most accurate season yet, as he's converted 20 of 21 field goals and 21 of 22 extra points thus far. Combined, Gano's 81 points currently see him ranked sixth in the category league-wide.

The Falcons released Meyer from their practice squad Tuesday.

Meyer was signed onto the Falcons' practice squad last week while Matt Bryant (calf) was nursing an injury. Bryant was ultimately cleared to play in Sunday's win over the Cowboys and endured no setbacks during the contest, so the Falcons will part ways with Meyer in order to open up a spot on the practice squad for quarterback Garrett Grayson.

McManus converted all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try en route to 10 points in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Patriots.

McManus has now reached double figures in back-to-back games heading into Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Bryant converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to nine points in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Cowboys.

Bryant missed a couple days of practice due to a calf problem, but that didn't prevent him from suiting up and performing well. In fact, the 42-year-old drilled a 50-yard field goal Sunday. Through nine games, Bryant sports 71 points.

Lutz converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of his six extra-point tries en route to 11 points in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Bills.

Lutz now has four double-digit scoring outings this season, but upon missing an extra point Sunday, he's only made all his kicks in three of nine appearances. Given the Saints' offensive production, however, he still boasts 82 points on the campaign.

Zuerlein converted all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries en route to 15 points in Sunday's 33-7 win over the Texans.

Zuerlein continues to be an outstanding fantasy asset, as he's now tallied 15 points in three straight games. The league's leading scorer, Zuerlein boasts 23 more points than the next closest kicker.
