  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes three FG, including game-winner

    Patterson went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over Washington.

    Patterson started the scoring with a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. He added a 39-yarder in the second and tied the game with his PAT in the fourth period. After the game went into overtime, Patterson ended the contest with a 29-yard field goal. This was the first time this season that Patterson has made more than two field goals in a game.

    Commanders' Matt Gay: Misses two kicks in Madrid

    Gay went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Both of Gay's misses came from 51 and 56 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, but they turned out to be crucial misses in what was a close affair in Madrid, Spain. It was the second time this season that the veteran kicker missed two field goals in a game, and he is now 4-for-9 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Gay is now 13-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-22 on extra-point tries through 10 regular-season games.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Inactive again Sunday

    Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    For a second consecutive contest, Harrison Mevis and not Karty will be Los Angeles' placekicker. The Rams can elevate Mevis from the practice squad one more time before needing to make a decision to sign him to the active roster.

  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Kicking again in Week 11

    Mevis is active and will serve as the Rams' placekicker Sunday against the Seahawks with Joshua Karty a healthy scratch, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Mevis was elevated for a second week in a row to handle kicks for Los Angeles. During last Sunday's win at San Francisco, he connected on all six point-after tries while not attempting a field goal.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Officially kicking Sunday

    Havrisik will serve as the Packers' placekicker Sunday at the Giants with Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) inactive, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

    Havrisik will step in for McManus for a third time this season after Green Bay added the latter to its Week 11 injury report Saturday as doubtful for Sunday's game due to a right quadriceps issue. According to Jason Wilde of Channel3000.com, McManus kicked at Friday's practice before reporting tightness in the quad when he reported to the team facility Saturday. It remains to be seen if McManus will miss time beyond this weekend, but Havrisik will look to build upon his perfect first two appearances as a Packer (4-for-4 FGAs, 6-for-6 PATs).

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Inactive Sunday, as expected

    McManus (right quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus avoided the Packers' Week 11 injury report entirely for the first time since before the team's Week 5 bye until he was added to it Saturday as doubtful due to a lingering right quadriceps issue. According to Jason Wilde of Channel3000.com, McManus kicked during Friday's practice and then reported tightness in the quad when he showed up at Green Bay's facility Saturday, prompting the aforementioned move. Now that McManus is confirmed to be unavailable Sunday, he'll yield his duties to Lucas Havrisik, and now there's the question of if the former will miss time beyond this weekend.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Giants' Younghoe Koo: Signed to active roster

    The Giants signed Koo from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Making his first appearance since the Falcons released him after Week 1 this past Sunday in Chicago, Koo made both field-goal attempts and both point-after tries in place of Graham Gano, who was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck. New York placed Gano on injured reserve Wednesday, so Koo is lined up to be the team's primary placekicker for the foreseeable future. In addition to Koo, the Giants are still rostering kicker Jude McAtamney on the practice squad.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: In line to kick Sunday

    Havrisik is set to serve as the Packers' placekicker Sunday at the Giants after the team added Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) to the injury report and listed him as doubtful for Week 11 action.

    McManus didn't appear on this week's practice report until Saturday, and his listing leaves Havrisik in line to kick for the third time this season. When he stepped in for McManus due to the same health concern in Weeks 6 and 7, Havrisik connected on all four field-goal attempts, including a franchise-record 61-yarder in Week 7 at Arizona, and all six point-after tries.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Now doubtful for Sunday

    The Packers added McManus to their Week 11 injury report Saturday, listing him as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Giants due to a right quadriceps issue.

    It's the same injury that sidelined McManus in Weeks 6 and 7 and that he also contended with in advance of Green Bay's previous three contests, when he went a combined 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts and connected on all five point-after tries. He wasn't included on the team's Week 11 practice report until Saturday and now appears unlikely to resume placekicking duties Sunday. McManus' status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, with Lucas Havrisik set to step in for him for a third game this season.

  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Elevated for Week 11 start

    The Rams elevated Mevis from the practice squad Saturday in preparation for him to start versus the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Head coach Sean McVay has already confirmed that Mevis will start at home versus Seattle on Sunday, while Joshua Karty will serve as the team's No. 2 kicker. In his first regular-season action of the year, Los Angeles' win over the 49ers in Week 10, Mevis converted all six of his extra-point tries but wasn't tasked with attempting a field goal. After Sunday's game, the Rams will be able to elevate Mevis from the practice squad for just one more contest, after which point he'll need to sign with the team's 53-man roster in order to log any more starts.
