Slye missed his only field-goal attempt and made a PAT during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.
Slye missed his first kick of the young season, pushing a 59-yard field-goal try wide left late in the second quarter. The contest took place in the midst of a nor'easter, making the playing conditions rather treacherous, so his long miss doesn't come as a surprise. The kicker has now gone 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts while making all four of his extra-point tries through three games this season.

Titans' Joey Slye: Makes all four kicks in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
Slye made both of his field-goal attempts and each of his two extra-point tries during the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Both of Slye's made field goals came within 40 yards, the second of which came from 33 yards to give the Titans a 20-17 lead with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker has made all six of his kicks (three field goals, three extra-point attempts) through the first two games of the regular season and should have more opportunities to score in games when the Titans offense stalls in enemy territory.

Titans' Joey Slye: Solid in loss
Rotowire
Slye made his only field-goal try and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 23-10 loss versus the Jets.
Tennessee was able to muster only 195 total yards Week 1, leaving just two opportunities for Slye to add to the score. His field goal, a 42-yarder, came on the Titans' first drive of the game. Until his team's offense demonstrates it can consistently move the ball, Slye does not project as a great fantasy option.

Titans' Joey Slye: Continues strong preseason
Rotowire
Slye converted all four of his field-goal attempts and made his only PAT try in Sunday's 19-16 preseason win over the Seahawks.
Slye has been locked in this preseason. He hit all four of his field-goal attempts in the preseason opener against San Francisco, with a long of 58 yards, and Slye added another 4-for-4 performance Sunday. Slye was true from 55, 33, 40 and 43 yards against the Seahawks. The big-legged kicker is thriving in the low-pressure environment of the preseason, but Slye has had accuracy issues creep up during the past three regular seasons, converting 80 percent or fewer of his field-goal attempts in each of those campaigns.

Titans' Joey Slye: Staying in Tennessee
Rotowire
Slye is re-signing with Tennessee on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Last year, Slye made 28 of 35 field-goal attempts (80 percent), including nine of 14 from 50-plus yards, but with a lack of extra-point attempts (27) mostly keeping him off the fantasy radar. That's largely been the story of Slye's career: providing a strong leg for subpar teams. It doesn't help that he's never been great in terms of accuracy, with an 81.4 percent career conversion rate on field goals. The Titans may bring in competition later this offseason.

Titans' Joey Slye: Fades after strong start to 2025
Rotowire
Slye went 28-for-35 on field-goal attempts and 26-for-27 on point-after tries across 16 games with the Titans in 2025.
Slye got off to a fast start to the 2025 season, connecting on all eight of his field-goal attempts through the first two games (three of which came from 50-plus yards). However, the veteran kicker missed four of six field goals over the next two games (though two of those misses came from 60-plus yards) and he was sidelined for the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders while nursing a right calf injury. That ended up being the only game Slye missed in 2025, and he showed off his big leg by connecting on a career-high nine field goals from 50-plus yards, which was tied for fourth most in the NFL behind Chase McLaughlin, Brandon Aubrey and Will Reichard (11 each). Slye enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Titans' Joey Slye: Makes all six kicks in loss
Rotowire
Slye went 4-of-4 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.
The kicker also drilled two field goals from more than 50 yards out (50 and 58). Altogether, Slye has only missed one kick since Week 8, and for the year, he's 82 percent on field goals (28-of-34) and 25-of-26 on extra points. He has also gotten at least three extra-point attempts in four of Tennessee's last six games, as the Titans' offense has started to improve.

Titans' Joey Slye: Makes four kicks vs. Kansas City
Rotowire
Slye made all three of his extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.
Most of the 29-year-old's work came in the second half of Sunday's win, making a 26-yard field goal and two extra points during that span. Slye has had an up-and-down year for the Titans, converting on 24 of 30 field-goal tries and 23 of 24 point-after attempts across 14 contests. His next opportunity to kick will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Saints.

Titans' Joey Slye: Perfect in win
Rotowire
Slye connected on his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.
Slye hit a 41-yarder in the fourth that put the Titans up 31-17, ultimately supplying the deciding points after Cleveland made a late run. The Tennessee kicker has missed five field goals this year and barely attempted one extra point per game, though he made the most of his chances Sunday.

Titans' Joey Slye: Connects on three kicks in loss
Rotowire
Slye converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra point try in the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Slye gave the Titans a 6-0 lead in the opening 26 minutes of the game by converting 56- and 47-yard field goals, but Tennessee eventually blew the lead and lost its ninth game of the season. Through nine appearances this season, Slye has made just 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 10 of 11 extra points. He's not a recommended fantasy target in this anemic offense.

Slye went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.
Slye was able to get back on track in Week 9, making a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 37-yarder in the fourth. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in six contests this year, and he's connected on 17 of 23 field-goal attempts, including 6-for-9 from 50-plus yards, through eight games overall.

Titans' Joey Slye: Misses long field goal Sunday
Rotowire
Slye connected on both extra-point tries but missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.
The kicker booted the ball wide right on a 58-yard attempt late in the first half. Slye is now just 15-of-20 on field-goal tries in 2025, and all of the misses have been from 40 yards or longer. The veteran has also attempted just eight extra points in seven games due to his struggling offense.

Titans' Joey Slye: Cleared to face former team
Rotowire
Slye (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Slye was limited in all three of Tennessee's practices after sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Raiders, but he evidently looked healthy enough to avoid an injury designation. The Titans cut Matthew Wright on Friday after Wright filled in for Slye in Week 6, providing another indicator of the team's confidence in Slye's health. Slye's opportunities could be limited since the Titans are scoring only 13.8 points per game and the Patriots are allowing just 20.0 points per game.

Titans' Joey Slye: Upgrades to limited practice
Rotowire
Slye (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Slye wasn't able to practice in any capacity before being ruled out for the Titans' loss to the Raiders in Week 6, so for him to now log limited activity is a tangible step in the right direction. If Slye can upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

Titans' Joey Slye: Absent for second straight practice
Rotowire
Slye (calf) didn't practice Thursday.
He'll miss out on a second straight practice while he tends to a right calf injury. The Titans signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad Wednesday, and he'll presumably be elevated in the event Slye isn't able to handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Titans' Joey Slye: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Slye didn't practice Wednesday due to a right calf injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Slye made all three of his field-goal attempts and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals, but with an absence from practice to start the current week, the kicker's status is worth monitoring ahead of this weekend's game against the Raiders. If Slye is unavailable versus Las Vegas, Matthew Wright is a candidate for a practice-squad elevation.

Titans' Joey Slye: Connects on four FGAs in loss
Rotowire
Slye went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and also made an extra-point try in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.
Slye was once again rather busy in Week 2, connecting on a 55-yard field goal and 37-yarder in the second quarter. He later added makes from 57 yards and 35 yards in the second half. Through two games in 2025, Slye has made all eight of his field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards.

Titans' Joey Slye: Catches on with Tennessee
Rotowire
Slye agreed to a contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The well-traveled Slye will catch on with an eighth different organization since going undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2018. After being cut by the Jaguars last spring, Slye quickly caught on with New England on a one-year deal and emerged as the victor over Chad Ryland in the battle for kicking duties during training camp and the preseason. Slye proceeded to play in all 17 of New England's games in 2024, converting 26 of 33 field-goal attempts and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. The 28-year-old currently is the only kicker on the Titans roster, but the team will almost certainly add some competition before training camp.

Patriots' Joey Slye: Finishes 2024 strong
Rotowire
Slye made all three of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts during the Patriots' 23-16 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Slye hadn't attempted a field goal in the Patriots' last two games entering Week 18, but he was kept busy Sunday as backup quarterback Joe Milton led New England on five scoring drives. All three of Slye's field-goal attempts came in the second half, with his 43 and 50-yard field goals in the fourth quarter extending the Patriots' lead. Slye will finish the 2024 regular season having made 26 of 33 field-goal attempts (78.8 percent) and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. He signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in May of 2024 and will enter the offseason as a free agent.
