Prater (knee) won't play Sunday against the 49ers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Chad Ryland closes out the season as Arizona's kicker, with Prater having missed the past three months due to a meniscus injury. Prater's return to practice for the past few weeks suggests he should be healthy for 2025, but he's scheduled for free agency this offseason and will turn 41 in August. Ryland, meanwhile, is 25 years old and has missed just four field-goal attempts and one PAT all year, bouncing back strong after a brutal rookie season with New England in 2023.

Prater (left knee) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prater hasn't logged anything other than limited listings on Arizona injury reports since the team designated him for return from injured reserve Dec. 18. He's been ruled out before both of the last two games, and Friday's report could do the same for the 40-year-old kicker. If Prater isn't able to play Sunday versus the 49ers, Chad Ryland again will fill in in that capacity.

Folk (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Folk has missed the Titans' last two games and was listed as a non-participant for each of the team's previous four practices before getting back on the field Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity. The Titans will reassess Folk following Friday's practice before determining whether he or practice-squad member Matthew Wright will handle the kicking duties in Sunday's season finale versus the Texans.

The Titans signed Wright to the practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright was the starting kicker during the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Jaguars, during which he connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try. He was waived by Tennessee on Monday, but now that he's on the practice squad, he could be elevated to the active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against Houston if Nick Folk (abdomen) is unable to play.

Prater (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prater has remained listed as limited on Arizona injury reports since the team designated him for return from injured reserve Dec. 18. He still was ruled out in advance of the previous two games, but it remains to be seen if he'll suffer a similar fate this week. The Cardinals are out of playoff contention, so Sunday's game against the 49ers is Prater's final chance to suit up this season. If Prater isn't able to play, Chad Ryland will handle placekicking duties yet again.

Folk (abdomen) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Folk has missed the Titans' last two games due to an abdomen injury, and Wednesday's DNP likely suggests he's in jeopardy of missing a third in the Week 18 matchup against the Texans. The 40-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up Sunday. It's unclear who would kick for Tennessee if Folk is sidelined in Week 18, as Matthew Wright was waived Monday after kicking for the team in Week 17.

The Jets placed Zuerlein on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the team's official site reports.

The team didn't provide word on Zuerlein's injury, but the veteran kicker presumably experienced a setback with the left knee issue that prompted his move to IR back in late October. After a seven-game absence, Zuerlein was cleared to return to practice last week and was activated from IR prior to Sunday's game against the Bills, but he didn't receive any kicking chances in the Jets' 40-14 loss. New York signed Greg Joseph off its practice squad to handle kicking duties in this Sunday's season finale versus the Dolphins. The 37-year-old Zuerlein is wrapping up the first season of a two-year, $8.4 million deal, but with no guaranteed money left on his contract heading into 2025, he'll likely be a cap casualty this offseason after connecting on just nine of 15 field-goal tries and 13 of 14 point-after attempts in 2024.

Moody missed both of his field-goal attempts while going 4-for-5 on point-after tries in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.

Moody's struggles in 2024 continued with another multi-miss outing in Week 17. In the 2023 third-round pick's defense, both of his misses on Monday Night Football came from 50-plus yards out. Still, Moody saw his season conversion rate on FGs drop to 72 percent in addition to missing his first PAT in a six-point loss for San Francisco. The 24-year-old may be in jeopardy of losing his starting job if he is unable to show some composure in Sunday's season-finale against Arizona.

The Browns cut Szmyt from the practice squad Tuesday.

Szmyt was signed to the Browns' practice squad Dec. 24 to provide competition to Dustin Hopkins for kicking duties over the final two games of the regular season. Hopkins made his lone extra-point attempt during Cleveland's Week 17 loss to Miami, and it appears he will serve as the Browns' kicker for the regular-season finale against the Ravens on Saturday due to Szmyt being let go from the practice squad. Szmyt hasn't attempted a kick in an NFL regular-season game since signing with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Syracuse in April of 2023.

McManus made a 22-yard field goal and two extra points in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

McManus made all his attempts for the seventh time in as many weeks, but the five points he finished with were the second fewest since that streak began. He and the Packers will close out the regular season against a Bears team that limited him to a season-low two points when the clubs last met in Week 11.
