  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Makes both kicks in win

    Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and only extra-point try in Thursday's 24-19 win over Pittsburgh in Week 12.

    Both of Hopkins' chances came in the first half before the weather conditions turned the stadium into a shaken snow globe. The Browns went for two points after their two fourth-quarter touchdowns due to the conditions, though one was also a logical decision based on the score. The Browns' sputtering offense under Deshaun Watson earlier this season was not conducive to kicker scoring, but Hopkins' shaky season continued even as the offense improved in recent weeks with Jameis Winston under center. Hopkins ranks 27th in scoring among kickers with 56 points through 11 games played.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Remains limited in practice

    Seibert (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Seibert has missed Washington's last two games with the right hip injury and isn't in the clear just yet, as he's remained limited in both of the Commanders' first two Week 12 practice sessions. He'll likely need to upgrade to full activity Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If Seibert is forced to miss another game, the Commanders will likely elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Added to injury report

    Pineiro was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a left knee injury.

    Pineiro didn't appear on Carolina's initial Week 12 injury report issued Wednesday, so he may have tweaked his knee at some point during Thursday's practice. The Panthers will check back on Pineiro's condition Friday before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Though a poor Carolina offense hasn't presented him with many scoring opportunities this season, Pineiro has generally come through when called upon, as he's knocked down 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and all 17 of his extra-point tries through 10 games.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Limited to four points in Week 11

    Aubrey knocked down his lone extra-point attempt and connected on a 53-yard field goal while missing a 40-yard try in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

    While Aubrey came away with his 10th field goal of 50-plus yards of the season in the loss, he nearly came away with the third 60-plus-yard field goal of his career late in the third quarter. On 4th-and-20, Aubrey converted a 64-yard attempt right down the middle with plenty of room to spare, but a Texans unnecessary roughness penalty took the points off the board while Dallas instead accepted an automatic first down. The wiped-out field goal along with a missed attempt in the second quarter that clanked off the right upright thus limited Aubrey to a season-low four points on the night.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Limited in return to practice

    Seibert (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Seibert has a chance to return for Sunday's game against Dallas after missing the two previous contests. He'll benefit from a favorable matchup in Week 12, with the Cowboys ranking 31st in points allowed per game (29.3).

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Seen at practice Wednesday

    Seibert (hip) was spotted on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Seibert has missed the last two games due to a right hip injury, but his return to drills to kick off Week 12 prep is a decent sign that he's trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys for the first time since Week 9. The Commanders' first Week 12 practice report will be posted later Wednesday and will reveal the extent of his practice participation.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Ten points in win

    Fairbairn converted both field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11.

    Fairbairn made chip shots from 33 and 29 yards to improve to an 84-percent (26 of 31) success rate for the season. That's pretty good, considering how many he attempts from beyond the 50, but it's below what has been his norm the last two seasons. Fairbairn connected on 95 percent (56 of 59) of his kicks in 2022 and 2023 combined. Monday's 10 points was his eighth double-digit effort in 11 games and put him over the 100-point mark for the season.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills two long kicks

    Myers hit both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.

    Myers connected on kicks from 52 and 57 yards to mark a perfect game. He has now hit five of seven field-goal attempts from beyond 50 yards and 24 of 25 extra-point tries. Myers will look to stay hot in a home game versus the Cardinals in Week 12.

  • Jets' Anders Carlson: Joins 53-man roster

    The Jets signed Carlson to the 53-man roster Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Carlson joined the Jets' practice squad Nov. 8 and was elevated ahead of this past Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. After converting all five of his kicks (three extra points, two field goals) -- including a career-long 58-yard boot -- the second-year pro will now gain some job security. At least while Greg Zuerlein (knee) remains on injured reserve, Carlson should retain the Jets' kicking job.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Delivers only points in blowout

    Little made both of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions.

    The 21-year-old started the scoring with a 59-yard field goal during the first quarter and added a 35-yarder to close out the first half, and that was it for Jacksonville's scoring as the offense mustered just 10 first downs. Little is 15-for-16 on field goals and 19-for-19 on extra points this season, but the Jaguars' already inconsistent offense has taken a further step back the past two weeks in the absence of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).
