    Jets' Nick Folk: Limited action in loss

    Folk did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

    Folk went without a field-goal try for the first time this season and Thursday's performance marked the first contest in which he didn't make multiple field goals since Week 2. The kicker has gone a perfect 19-for-19 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 14 of his PATs over 10 games this year.

  • Patriots' Andy Borregales: Makes two FGAs during TNF

    Borregales went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Thursday night's 27-14 win over the Jets.

    Borregales pushed his first field-goal try wide right from 45 yards out with three seconds left before halftime. However, he would rebound in the second half, making field goals from 44 and 26 yards in the fourth quarter. The rookie has now gone 15-for-17 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 31 of 33 extra-point attempts over 11 games this year.

  • Texans' Matthew Wright: Will start Week 11

    Wright will start Sunday's game against the Titans with Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) having been ruled out on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Houston signed Wright to the active roster after Fairbairn suffered his quad injury Week 9, signaling that the team anticipated needing a multi-game fill-in. In his team debut versus the Jaguars in Week 10, Wright converted his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try. He'll work to remain accurate on the road against Tennessee.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Won't face Titans

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that Fairbairn (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Fairbairn will miss a second consecutive game due to a quad injury suffered Week 9 versus the Broncos, leaving Matthew Wright in position to draw another start versus the Titans. In Week 12, Fairbairn will face a short recovery window before the Texans take on Buffalo on Thursday Night Football, which increases the risk of him being sidelined for a third straight game.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Remains sidelined Thursday

    Fairbairn (quad) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Fairbairn was expected to miss more than one week after getting hurt in Week 9 against the Broncos, per an earlier report from Wilson. The standout kicker is tracking toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Titans, though Fairbairn could give himself a chance to play by returning to practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. Matthew Wright filled in for Fairbairn in Week 10 against the Jaguars and would do so again Sunday if Fairbairn's ruled out.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Not practicing Wednesday

    Fairbairn (quad) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Matthew Wright was signed to the Texans' active roster (from the practice squad) Saturday under the expectation that Fairbairn -- who was inactive Sunday against the Jaguars -- will need more than one week to heal up. Following a DNP on Wednesday, Fairbairn has two more chances to practice ahead of Week 11 action, but for now it looks like Wright is trending toward kicking again this weekend.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Moves to IR

    The Giants placed Gano (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    With his placement on IR for a second time this season, Gano's campaign is officially over after making five appearances and connecting on nine of 10 field-goal attempts and all nine point-after tries. Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants in the short term, but the team also has Jude McAtamney on the practice squad as another option to handle placekicking duties.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: No practice Wednesday

    Gano (neck) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Gano hasn't practiced since being diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck last Wednesday. New York hasn't made the move to place him on injured reserve, so he seemingly isn't poised to miss three games in addition to this past Sunday's loss at Chicago. Having said that, Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants for as long as Gano is sidelined.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Greg Joseph: Lands deal with Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Joseph to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Joseph will provide the Raiders with a kicking option alongside Daniel Carlson, who has made just 12 of 16 field-goal attempts this season. Carlson missed a potential game-tying 48-yard kick wide right in the fourth quarter last Thursday night against Denver. Joseph kicked in games with the Giants, Commanders and Jets last season, making 16 of his 20 field-goal tries and all 11 of his extra points.

  • Ben Sauls K | NYG

    Ben Sauls: Finds work with G-Men

    The Giants signed Sauls to the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Sauls is currently the fourth kicker employed by the G-Men, joining Graham Gano (neck), who is on the 53-man roster, and practice-squad members Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney. Sauls has never kicked in a regular-season game.
