Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on four kicks Thursday
McLaughlin made his only field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries Thursday in a 24-16 win against Dallas.
McLaughlin made all three of his PAT tries before nailing a 41-yard field goal late in the third quarter. He could have had an additional chip-shot FG midway through the fourth, but the Buccaneers somewhat surprisingly tried (and failed) to get into the end zone on a fourth-and-goal play from the 1-yard line when a field goal would have given them a three-score lead. Regardless, McLaughlin looked fine after missing practice Tuesday with a right groin/hip issue, and he's now a perfect 10-for-10 on field-goal attempts this season.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Will play Thursday
Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that McLaughlin (groin) will play Thursday night against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McLaughlin popped up on the injury report Tuesday as a DNP, but it sounds like it was more precautionary than anything else. The veteran kicker is a perfect 9-for-9 on field-goal tries and 7-for-7 on PATs after four games. Kicking in a Tampa Bay offense struggling to score touchdowns, McLaughlin has plenty of fantasy value as the team's main source of offense in the red zone.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Misses practice Tuesday with injury
McLaughlin didn't practice Tuesday due to a right groin/hip injury.
Though he wasn't included on the team's initial Week 5 injury report released Monday, McLaughlin's absence from practice a day later makes his status worth tracking as Thursday's game against the Cowboys approaches. For the time being, the Buccaneers still seem to be proceeding with the expectation that McLaughlin will be ready to play Thursday, as Greg Auman of Fox Sports relays that the team hasn't reached out to free agent kicker B.T. Potter, who served as McLaughlin's backup in the preseason.

McLaughlin made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

McLaughlin's four made field goals were his most in a game since Week 3 of the 2025 season (five), and his 13 made field goals of 50-plus yards since the start of last year are most in the NFL.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Set for fourth season as Bucs' kicker
McLaughlin is slated to be Tampa Bay's primary placekicker for the fourth consecutive campaign in 2026.
McLaughlin got limited opportunities early in his career, but he's played in 16 or 17 contests each of the past five years, the last three of which have been with the Bucs. He was incredibly accurate in making 94 percent of his field-goal attempts over his first two regular seasons with the club, and though that rate dropped a bit to 84 percent last year, McLaughlin also hit a career-high 11 field goals from 50-plus yards (on 12 attempts). He'll be in the final year of the three-year contract he inked in 2024, which could give McLaughlin additional incentive to make a big impact with his leg.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Entering contract year
McLaughlin is slated to play out the 2026 season on the final year of his current contract, Logan Robinson and River Wells of SI.com report.
McLaughlin suited up for all 17 regular-season games for Tampa Bay last season and set a new career high in made field goals (32), though he also logged a career-low conversion rate on attempts (84.2 percent). After going 11-for-12 on FG tries from 50-plus yards last season, McLaughlin is a solid candidate to bounce back in terms of accuracy in 2026. If he does, he'll be primed to hit the open market in 2027 as one of the league's top available kickers.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes most FGs of career in 2025-26
McLaughlin went 3-for-4 on FG tries in Saturday's 16-14 win over Carolina and finished the campaign with a career-best 32 field-goal makes on 38 attempts over 17 contests. He also made 32 of 33 extra-point tries.
McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes two FGAs in Week 13
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.
McLaughlin was able to get back on track after being held to just a PAT in the team's Week 12 loss to the Rams, making a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 57-yarder in the fourth, which would prove to be the difference in the contest against Arizona. The kicker has seen his workload fluctuate greatly from week to week, notching four performances with one or zero field-goal attempts while also making multiple field goals in six different contests. On the year, McLaughlin has now gone 22-for-26 on field-goal tries, including a perfect 10-for-10 from 50-plus yards, over 12 games.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Kicks one PAT in blowout loss
McLaughlin made his lone extra-point try in the Bucs' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay got itself into a massive hole early in this one, and the Bucs were forced to go for it numerous times on fourth downs rather than taking field goals. McLaughlin was, of course, barely used due to the blowout nature of the contest. On the season, the veteran kicker is 20-for-24 on field goals and 21-for-22 on point-after tries.
