    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Another perfect outing

    Myers hit a 27-yard field goal and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

During the regular season, he connected on 41 of 48 field-goal tries, including 22 of 27 (81.3 percent) from beyond 40 yards. The Seahawks will face the Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8.

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Perfect in blowout win

    Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.

    Myers missed two kicks in the regular-season finale against the 49ers, but he was perfect in the rematch. Overall and including the playoffs, Myers has hit 86 percent of his field-goal tries this season, including nine of 12 attempts from beyond 50 yards. Myers will be outdoors again in the NFC Championship Game regardless of the opponent.

    Bills' Matt Prater: Upgrades to full participation

    Prater (quad/calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Prater was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough but was able to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session. The kicker was questionable to play ahead of last Sunday's playoff win over the Jaguars, but he managed to suit up for the game and put forth a flawless effort. The 41-year-old should be all set to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, barring any setbacks.

    Bills' Matt Prater: Sits out first practice of week

    The Bills listed Prater as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to right quadriceps and calf injuries.

    The kicker had previously been listed on injury reports with only the quad issue, which kept him from playing in Weeks 16 and 17. Since returning in Week 18, Prater has knocked down both of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts, but he's ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky in both contests. Even though Prater's calf is now bothering him as well, head coach Sean McDermott said he expects the veteran to kick during Wednesday's practice, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. If Prater is unable to play in Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, the Bills will likely call up Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their placekicker.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses extra point in playoff loss

    Elliott made field goals from 41 and 33 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card loss to the 49ers but missed one of his two extra-point attempts.

    The missed extra point wound up being significant, as the Eagles drove to the San Francisco 21 on their final possession and would have been in range for a game-tying field-goal attempt had Elliott made all of his earlier kicks. Elliott missed just one of his 42 extra-point tries in the regular season, but he made just 74 percent of his field-goal attempts (20-for-27), his worst performance since 2020.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Re-signs with Green Bay

    The Packers signed Havrisik to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Havrisik spent time on both Green Bay's practice squad and active roster during the 2025 campaign, converting all four of his field-goal attempts and seven of nine extra-point tries across three games while Brandon McManus was sidelined. Havrisik could have the opportunity to compete for the team's placekicker role during the offseason.

    Bills' Matt Prater: Ready for more practice reps

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Prater (quadriceps) is "in a good spot" heading into Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Prater was limited in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars after aggravating a right quadriceps injury Week 18. The veteran kicker ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky but participated on field-goal and extra-point attempts, converting on all five of his opportunities. McDermott also said Monday that he expects Prater to practice more as the team prepares for the divisional-round matchup

  • Lenny Krieg K | ATL

    Jets' Lenny Krieg: Joins Jets on reserve/future deal

    Krieg signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

    Nick Folk is set to become a free agent in the offseason, so Krieg's the only kicker in the organization heading into 2026, though more roster moves are expected to follow in the offseason, including the possibility of the Jets re-signing Folk. The 23-year-old Krieg is a Berlin native who has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

    Bills' Matt Prater: Cleared for wild-card round

    Prater (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

    Prater aggravated a right quadriceps injury during the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets, which put his status for the playoffs in jeopardy. He strung together a DNP/FP/DNP practice log to earn the questionable tag, and with Matthew Wright remaining on the practice squad, Prater will be the lone kicker on the Bills' active roster for Sunday's playoff tilt.

    Bills' Matt Prater: Expected to play Sunday

    Prater (quadriceps) is expected to play in Buffalo's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Chris Brown of the team's Radio Network reports.

    Prater will seemingly be good to go against Jacksonville, as the Bills didn't elevate Matthew Wright from the practice squad, leaving Prater as the only kicker on the active roster. The 41-year-old converted 18 of his 20 field-goal attempts and 46 of his 49 extra-point tries across 15 games during the regular season.
