  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Heads to IR

    The Commanders placed Seibert on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Seibert's placement on IR is presumably due to the right hip injury that prevented him from playing in Weeks 11 and 12. The 28-year-old was cleared to return to action in this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but he struggled mightily with two costly misses on point-after tries along with a missed 51-yard field goal, leaving five points on the table that might have kept Washington from needing to attempt an onside kick at the end of the game. The Commanders don't have another kicker on the roster at the moment, but Zane Gonzalez previously filled in during Seibert's two-game absence and will presumably be elevated from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties this Sunday against the Titans. Seibert won't be eligible to return to action until Washington's Week 18 rematch with the Cowboys on Jan. 5.

  • Matthew Wright: Joins Chiefs' practice squad

    Kansas City signed Wright to its practice squad Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Interim starting kicker Spencer Shrader is dealing with a hamstring injury ahead of Friday's game versus the Raiders, so it would stand to reason that Wright could be the Chiefs' plan at kicker for Week 13. He has already kicked for a different team this season, making all of his three field-goal tries and converting all three of his extra-point attempts in Week 6 with the 49ers.

  • Chiefs' Spencer Shrader: Misses practice with hamstring injury

    Shrader didn't practice Tuesday due to a right hamstring injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    According to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Shrader injured his hamstring in a private workout Monday. After being signed off the Jets' practice squad earlier this month, Shrader has handled kicking duties for Kansas City in place of the injured Harrison Butker (knee) for the past two games, converting on all nine of his kicks (six extra-point attempts, three field-goal tries). With the hamstring injury now putting Shrader's status in question for Friday's game against the Raiders, the Chiefs signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad Tuesday. Wright will presumably be elevated from the practice squad and serve as Kansas City's kicker this week if Shrader can't play.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes lone field-goal try Monday

    Tucker made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries during Monday's 30-23 win against the Chargers.

    Not much could stop the Ravens from finding the end zone in Week 12, resulting in a relatively quiet day for their kicker. Tucker did avoid missing a kick Monday after doing so in three of Baltimore's previous four contests, however. He'll perhaps see more chances in Week 13 versus the Eagles.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Flawless in loss

    Dicker made all of his three field-goal tries and converted both of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-23 loss versus the Ravens.

    Dicker has now kicked multiple field goals without a miss in three straight games. Two of his kicks in Week 12 came from 50-plus yards out, including a 52-yarder as time expired in the first half. He'll be looking to build on his recent success when the Chargers travel to Atlanta in Week 13.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Perfect in victory

    McManus made a 51-yard field goal and all five extra points he attempted in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.

    McManus was perfect for the fourth time in five chances since joining Green Bay in late October, and the eight points he recorded were his second-most over that span. He and the Packers will next face the Dolphins, a team that held the Patriots without a field goal in Week 12 but allowed opponents to average three made field goals per game over its prior five contests.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Connects on four of five kicks

    McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (23 yards) and made three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    McLaughlin drilled a chip shot field-goal try early in the second quarter but went on to miss his second PAT attempt of the season following Baker Mayfield's 10-yard touchdown run just before halftime. McLaughlin pushed his success rate on field goals to a career-best 94.4 percent with Sunday's sole make, and he could be in for an even busier afternoon in a Week 13 road matchup against the vulnerable Panthers defense.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Misses extra point

    Myers hit a 50-yard field goal but missed one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

    This was Myers' second missed extra point in three weeks, but he managed to connect on all three field-goal tries from beyond 50 yards in that stretch. He's been quite good from long distance this season and has hit 15 of 18 field-goal attempts through 11 games.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Scores four points Sunday

    Moody went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.

    Moody only received two kicking opportunities in the lopsided defeat sans starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder). San Francisco's kicker hasn't missed a kick since his horrific Week 10, but his low usage has dampened his fantasy value. Moody and the 49ers will stay on the road to face the Bills in the snow next Sunday.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Misses only field-goal attempt

    Karty missed a 47-yard field goal and connected on both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

    A troublesome trend has emerged after Karty wasn't particularly close on his lone field-goal attempt, sending it wide right. The rookie kicker has now recorded a missed FG in three straight games, and four in his last six. While it's hard to discount the body of work Karty put in through the first half of the season, his slump may force head coach Sean McVay to seriously consider bringing in competition for the role of Rams' kicker with the team's playoff hopes on life support. Week 13's contest against the Saints will be Karty's next opportunity to bounce back.
