Boswell made 3-of-3 field goals (24, 25, 34) and 1-of-2 extra point attempts in the Steelers' win over the Browns on Sunday.

One week after missing his first field goal attempt of the season, Boswell missed his first extra point attempt. However, he still had a solid game and, with the offense racking up 68 points in their last two games, he should get plenty of scoring opportunities, especially since it appears that Ben Roethlisberger (foot) won't miss any time after the bye week.

The Jets placed Folk (quad) on injured reserve Tuesday.

It appeared Folk would be able to return to action later this year despite straining his quad Sunday against the Jaguars, but the Jets ultimiately decided to place him on injured reserve, which opens up a roster spot but brings Folk's season to a close. Randy Bullock will take over as the Jets' kicker moving forward.

Barth was successful on field goal attempts of 25, 28, 21, and 53 yards, but missed a 43-yard try in Sunday's 32-18 loss to the Giants.

Barth's miss was his first since his return to the Bucs earlier in the season after having converted 11 straight attempts. Despite the lone misfire, Barth now holds the distinction of being the only kicker in team history to make at least three field goals in four consecutive games. The veteran kicker did not attempt an extra point for the first time in his current Bucs stint.

Zuerlein made four of five field goals -- including a 61-yarder -- in Sunday's 21-18 overtime loss to Minnesota.

This was a confidence-builder of a game for Zuerlein, who was really struggling coming in. He missed out on a chance for an extra point when St. Louis went for two, but was basically the entire Rams offense on this day. If St. Louis' offense continues to struggle and Zuerlein can put a few solid games together, he may be of use late in the season.

Boswell connected on 3-of-4 field goals (18, 34, 38) and 3-of-3 extra points in Pittsburgh's 38-35 win against Oakland on Sunday.

Although he missed his first kick of the season, a 41-yard field goal attempt earlier in the game, Boswell redeemed himself by connecting on an 18-yarder with 2 seconds left to earn the win for the Steelers. He has averaged 8.4 PPG and has a favorable match-up in Week 10 against the 30th ranked Cleveland defense.

Folk is expected to miss a month due to a Grade-1 quadriceps strain, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

As a result, the Jets reportedly worked out Billy Cundiff, Garrett Hartley, Kyle Brindza and Randy Bullock on Monday, as the team scrambles to line up a new kicker in advance of Thursday's game against the Bills.

Folk is dealing with a Grade 1 quadriceps strain and is not expected to play Thursday against the Bills, Newsday reports.

After suffering a quad injury in warm-ups in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Folk was limited to holding duties, while punter Ryan Quigley served as the team's place-kicker in the contest. With Folk currently ailing, look for the Jets to sign another kicker in short order.

McManus connected on his lone field goal attempt, a 29-yarder, and was 3 for 3 on extra points Sunday against the Colts.

McManus' streak of kicking multiple field goals ends at four, as he's not 19-of-20 on the season, while also going 19-of-19 on extra points. The Broncos' offense hasn't been nearly as dominant this year as in season's past, but McManus is still likely to get enough opportunities to keep him a viable option in most fantasy formats. Up next is a Week 10 home game against the Chiefs.

Folk (quadriceps) was injured during pre-game warm-ups and never had a chance to kick Sunday against the Jaguars,

Folk is set to undergo an MRI on Monday. In his absence, Ryan Quigley took over kicking duties against the Jaguars, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Jets worked out free agent kickers this week.

Folk (quadriceps) strained his quad during pregame warmups on Sunday.

Folk will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. The Jets may have to free up a roster spot to bring in a second kicker if Folk is not ready to go by Thursday's game against the Bills.
