Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed two field goal attempts Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Tucker had four chances, but only converted half of them. He was able to hit from 22 yards and 33 yards out, but missed from 54 yards twice. Tucker will take on the Texans Week 16.

Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos made just one of his three field-goal attempts in his team's 31-13 win over the Raiders in Week 15.

Santos had a 44-yard attempt go wide left in the second quarter but was able to make his next try from 41 yards out just a few minutes later. He then attempted a kick from 47 yards out in the fourth quarter, but that try also sailed wide left. Santos' struggles Sunday leave him 17 for 21 on field goals. He'll face the Steelers in Week 15.

The Browns have released Billy Cundiff with an injury settlement and signed former Saints kicker Garrett Hartley, per the team's official website.

Cundiff sprained his knee in practice Thursday and was ruled questionable for Week 15 prior to the roster move. He missed a kick in each of the previous five games. He converted 22 of 29 kicks this season.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hit both his field goal attempts Week 15 against the Cardinals.

Zuerlein was the team's only source of offense on the night. He didn't have much work to do, hitting from 19 yards and 24 yards out during the contest. The Rams failed to score an offensive touchdown, so Zuerlein did not add any extra points. He'll look for more Week 16 against the Giants. 

The Saints tried out three kickers Wednesday, but it is unknown if they are preparing to release current kicker Shayne Graham or establishing fallback options if Graham was to go down, according to ESPN reporter Mike Triplett. 

Kickers who worked out for the Saints included: Garrett Hartley, Derek Dimke and Zach Hocker.

Hartley, who was released by the team last December, was New Orleans' kicker during their 2009 Super Bowl run. 

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a 53-yard field goal blocked, then hit a 50-yarder in Monday's loss at Green Bay. He's 6 of 9 fro 50-plus yards this year.

Bryant added four PATs for seven points. He'll face the Steelers in Week 15.

Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos hit two PATs and didn't try any field goals in the Week 14 loss at Arizona. He plays the Raiders in Week 15.

Broncos kicker Connor Barth nailed a 50-yard field goal and three PATs in Sunday's win over Buffalo. He'll visit the Chargers in Week 15.

Jets kicker Nick Folk connected on all five of his field goal attempts during a 30-24 loss to the Vikings Week 14.

Folk connected from 36, 33, 22, 24 and 44 yards. The five conversions were the most Folk has converted this season. Folk also connected on his lone extra point attempt.

The Jets will play at Tennessee Week 15.

Saints placekicker Shayne Graham blew a 42-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter Sunday against Carolina, but it wouldn't have mattered in a 31-point defeat.

Graham did nail a 41-yarder in the third and boot through his lone extra point attempt.
