    Titans' Nick Folk: Unable to go in Week 16

    Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Folk entered Sunday's game as a true game-time decision after managing only one limited practice session during the week. He's been a consistent kicker for the Titans this season, so his absence could affect the team's special-teams play. Brayden Narveson will take over the kicking duties.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Active versus Titans

    Gay, who had been listed as questionable with a neck injury, is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Gay practiced fully Friday, setting the stage for the kicker to be available for Sunday's contest. In 13 games this season, Gay has recorded 95 points, while connecting on 24 of his 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries, a pace that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues ahead of the next wave of Week 16 action.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes two field goals vs. Texans

    Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and connected on his three extra-point tries in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

    Butker's longest field-goal attempt came from 44 yards. It was his second game back after returning from a four-game absence and IR stint due to a left knee injury. He has now made three field goals and six extra points without a miss since returning.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Misses extra point

    Fairbairn converted both of his field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.

    Fairbairn pushed his extra-point miss wide right, which left Houston vulnerable, down 17-16 early in the third quarter. It was his first XP miss of the season and had the potential to impact the eventual outcome. However, the Chiefs won the time-possession battle the rest of the way, and Houston's offense couldn't cash in on its lone red-zone appearance following Fairbairn's miss.

  • Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Available against Eagles

    Gonzalez (personal) will kick Sunday against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Gonzalez missed practice Wednesday to attend the birth of his child, but he's available to suit up Sunday. Greg Joseph wasn't elevated from Washington's practice squad, confirming Gonzalez's availability. Gonzalez has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 10 PAT tries in three appearances for Washington this season.

  • Titans' Brayden Narveson: Signed by Titans off practice squad

    Narveson was signed by Tennessee from the practice squad Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    The decision to sign Narveson to the active roster rather than just elevate him from the practice squad may suggest the Titans anticipate having to use him Sunday against the Colts. Usual kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is expected to be a game-time decision. A decision on Folk's status, and by extension Narveson's role or lack thereof, will come around 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Brayden Narveson: Likely to be elevated Saturday

    The Titans are expected to elevate Narveson from the practice Saturday to serve as an emergency option in case Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Folk managed just one limited practice (Friday) this week and is listed as questionable due to an abdominal injury. Coach Brian Callahan told Turron Davenport of ESPN.com earlier Friday that Folk will be a game-time call, so the Titans' kicker for Week 16 likely will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Narveson was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, which marked his first opportunity since handling kicking duties for the first six games of the season for the Packers. Overall, he was perfect on PATs (16-for-16) but erratic with field goals, connecting on only 12 of 17 attempts.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Questionable for Week 16

    Gay (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    After logging a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Gay was able to practice fully Friday, suggesting he's looking good for Sunday. After a down 2023 season in which he made just 80.5 percent of his field-goal attempts, Gay has righted the ship again this season, making 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries. The Colts don't currently employ another kicker.

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Won't return Sunday

    Prater (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Since the Cardinals designated Prater for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he managed three consecutive limited practices, but it wasn't enough for him to get back on the active roster for Week 16 action. He'll thus miss his 12th straight game due to a torn left meniscus, while Chad Ryland will continue to operate as Arizona's placekicker.

    Titans' Nick Folk: Likely to be game-time call

    Coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Folk (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Colts, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    The Titans are expected to have Brayden Narveson elevated from the practice squad as insurance should Folk be unable to kick versus Indianapolis. Folk has been nearly automatic this season, making 21 of 22 field-goal attempts (95.5 percent) and all 25 of his extra-point tries. He's been the Titans' best means of scoring in 2024.
