Cundiff was released by the Bills on Tuesday.

Cundiff was signed last week with Dan Carpenter slowed by a knee injury, but it appears the team is not as concerned about Carpenter's health heading into Week 6. The Bills signed quarterback Josh Johnson to take Cundiff's place on the roster.

Buccaneers kicker Connor Barth made a triumphant return to the Bucs, successfully converting all three field goal attempts and a trio of point-after tries in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Jaguars.

Barth helped to quickly put the departed Kyle Brindza's inconsistencies in the rearview mirror, turning in a perfect performance in Week 5. The veteran kicker hit field goals of 35, 45 and 47 yards and was impeccable on his first three career extra-point tries from the newly-instituted distance.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein missed his first field goal of the season Sunday, then missed another two in a 24-10 loss to Green Bay.

Zuerlein had been lights out heading into Sunday, but dropped his season percentage from 100 all the way to less than 65 percent with the rough day. Zuerlein is ultra-reliable when indoors, but struggles in colder conditions and is part of an anemic offense. That's certainly not a good combination for a fantasy kicker.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, who hadn't missed a kick yet this season, hit 2 of 4 field goal attempts in Sunday's overtime win over the Falcons.

Bryant didn't miss by much, as he hit the right upright from 38 yards and doinked the left upright from 48 yards. His two makes came from 28 yards and 42 yards, and he tallied one extra point. He has a good matchup Week 6 against the Saints.

Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos connected on just one of his three field goal attempts Sunday, converting from 35 yards out.

Santos wasn't really at fault for either of his two missed attempts, with one being blocked and one coming from 66 yards as time expired. He remains among the league leaders in field goals made following seven field goals in Week 4, and the loss of Jamaal Charles could lead to more stalled drives and field goal opportunities for Santos moving forward.

Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis converted all four of his field goal attempts and three of his four extra point attempts in Sunday's 39-17 win over the Saints.

Despite missing an extra point in two straight games, Sturgis looked much better in his second game with the Eagles. It likely helped that the stakes weren't nearly as high, with three of his field goals coming in the second half after the Eagles' lead had ballooned to multiple scores. Head coach Chip Kelly said Monday that the team is sticking with Sturgis as their kicker moving forward.

Jaguars kicker Jason Myers converted his only field goal attempt Sunday, knocking in a 31-yarder in the third quarter.

Coming off of a disastrous Week 4 in which he missed two potential game-winning field goals, Myers rebounded with a quiet Week 5. While the lone field goal attempt left owners with sometime to be desired, Myers did provide four made extra points.

Coons was marvelous again Sunday, hitting four field goals (43, 43, 37, 32) and converting his lone extra point attempt.

Coons converted his first career game-winning field goal in overtime, drilling a 32-yard shot to lock down the victory for the Browns. He may have even scored a few more points had the Browns not attempted multiple two-point conversions late in the game. The 23-year-old has been quietly productive for Cleveland, and remains without a missed kick in the 2015 season. This output has lifted Coons into the league's top-ten total scorers with 42 points on the year.

Hopkins made two of three field goals - making a 52 yarder and missing a 53 yarder in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Hopkins is eight for nine on field goals this season.

Kicker Billy Cundiff has been signed by the Bills, according to WKBW in Buffalo.

The veteran kicker will likely be the backup to Dan Carpenter, who has been dealing with a minor knee issue. The Bills released kicker Jordan Gay to make room for Cundiff on the roster.
