Panthers kicker Graham Gano did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 35-10 victory over the Vikings, but he did successfully convert five extra points. Gano is now 13-for-13 on extra point attempts on the season. 

The Panthers face the Rams in Week 7. 

Broncos K Matt Prater, TE Joel Dreessen, CB Chris Harris, G Chris Kuper, LB Paris Lenon and C Manny Ramirez are active Week 6 against the Jaguars.

Chris Harris is the only player on the list who wasn't able to fully participate in practice every day this week. He did improve every day, though. After not practicing Wednesday, he was limited Thursday. He was able to get in a full practice Friday.  

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh (hamstring) is active Sunday in Week 6 against the Panthers, after being listed as questionable for the game. 

The Vikings could be without their kicker in Week 6 against the Panthers, after Blair Walsh landed on the injury report with a hamstring injury. Walsh is officially questionable, and will likely be evaluated prior to gametime to see if he will be able to handle kicking duties.

"We’re going to list him as questionable just because of that tightness," head coach Leslie Frazier said, via NFL.com. "Not sure how he’s going to be. We need to see some things before the game but he should be able to go. Just to err on the side of caution, were going to list him as questionable for the game."

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh is considered questionable Week 6 against the Panthers.

Walsh is dealing with a left leg injury, and was limited in practice Thursday. Head coach Leslie Frazier said if Walsh can kick through the injury, they'll let him play.

Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said he believes kicker Blair Walsh will be fine, according to ESPN.

Blair was shut down after feeling some discomfort during kickoffs Thursday. Frazier said the move was precautionary, and he thinks Walsh will "be fine." If Walsh's mechanics are affected by the injury, Frazier admitted the team has a short list of kickers to bring in for the game.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said kicker Blair Walsh was unable to finish practice Thursday because he was "sore," according to the Pioneer Press. No indication was given if Walsh's status for Week 6 vs. Carolina was in jeopardy.

Walsh was officially listed with a left hamstring injury on the practice report.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant did not attempt a field goal against the Jets. Atlanta passed up a chip shot on a failed 4th-down gamble right before halftime.

Bryant did convert four PATs. He's back in action Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Jets kicker Nick Folk improved to 11 for 11 on field goals in Monday's win against the Falcons, including nailing the 43-yard game-winner as time expired. Folk earlier converted from 22 and 36 yards out.

Folk added three PATs for a 12-point night. He'll face the Steelers in Week 6.

The Bills announced Monday they placed kicker Dustin Hopkins on injured reserve with a groin injury that has kept him sidelined the first five games. Hopkins did return to practice on a limited basis last week, but coach Doug Marrone said Monday Hopkins wasn't getting better.
