  • Matthew Wright: Waived by Texans

    The Texans have waived Wright.

    Wright connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries over the Texans' last two games while filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn. After being listed as a full practice participant in Wednesday's walk-through, however, Fairbairn doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Bills, a context that has prompted Houston to let Wright go.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Full practice Wednesday

    McManus (right quadriceps) practiced fully Wednesday.

    After kicking in last Friday's practice, McManus showed up at team facilities Saturday with tightness in his right quad, which spurred the Packers to add him to the injury report as doubtful for this past Sunday's game at the Giants. He eventually was inactive and ceded placekicking duties to Lucas Havrisik, the latter of whom made one of three point-after tries without attempting a field goal. With McManus seemingly in good health as Green Bay begins Week 12 prep, he's poised to return to action Sunday against the Vikings, but how he feels as the week goes on likely will be the determining factor.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes four kicks in Week 11 loss

    Carlson converted all three of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

    Carlson kept the Raiders somewhat competitive early on with three first-half field goals, including a long conversion of 45 yards. He then added a point-after attempt on the Raiders' lone touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The three made field goals tied a season high for Carlson, who has gone 15-for-19 on those attempts in 2025.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Converts only FG try in Week 11 win

    Aubrey made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries Monday in a 33-16 win over Las Vegas.

    Dallas' offense was firing on all cylinders Monday, so Aubrey was called upon for just one field-goal try. He made the 50-yarder with ease early in the first quarter, then went on to make each of his four extra-point tries. Aubrey's volume has been relatively low this season -- he's tried a modest 19 field goals through 10 games -- but he's made all but one of his attempts. His lone miss was a 68-yard try in Week 10.

  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Put back on practice squad

    The Rams reverted Mevis to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Mevis served as Los Angeles' kicker for the second straight week with Joshua Karty a healthy scratch. Mevis hasn't had a chance to really show off his leg, as the Rams haven't called upon him to kick a field goal in either of his two games. However, the Missouri product has performed as well as possible by making all nine of his extra-point tries. It seems likely that Mevis will be Los Angeles' kicker again versus Tampa Bay on Sunday, though he has only one practice-squad elevation remaining before he'd need to be signed to the active roster.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Full listing Monday

    Fairbairn (right quadriceps) was listed as full on Monday's practice estimate.

    Fairbairn didn't practice at all before missing the Texans' last two contests, so his listed activity level Monday is a step in the right direction. Matthew Wright has filled in for Fairbairn the past two contests, connecting on all four of his field-goal attempts and both point-after tries. Fairbairn's full walkthrough implies he's set to return Thursday versus the Bills, but as of Monday both he and Wright remain on Houston's active roster.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    Commanders' Jake Moody: Joining Commanders

    The Commanders will sign Moody off the Bears' practice squad Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Moody, who was a third-round pick of the 49ers in 2023, kicked for San Francisco in Week 1 and Chicago in Weeks 6 and 7, combining to make nine of his 12 field-goal tries and all five of his extra-point attempts in that span. The 25-year-old now is slated to take over Washington's kicking duties after the Commanders waived Matt Gay on Monday.

  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Viewed as week-to-week

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pineiro (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

    Pineiro has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain after he was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. San Francisco doesn't currently employ another kicker on the active roster or practice squad, so the team will likely need to make a move at the position before next Monday night's game against the Panthers.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes only FGA in loss

    Bates made his only field-goal try and missed his only PAT in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Bates had a mixed bag of a performance in Week 11. He missed an extra-point attempt for the second week in a row, albeit from 48 yards, after wide receiver Jameson Williams was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following a touchdown in the second quarter. The kicker was able to connect on a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter however, notching his first make from 50-plus yards since Week 7. Bates has now gone 13-for-17 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 33 of 35 extra-point tries over 10 games this year.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes three FGAs in win

    Elliott went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 16-9 win over the Lions.

    Elliott was able to convert field goals from 27 and 34 yards in the first half before later adding a 49-yard make in the fourth quarter. The three field goals were a season high for the kicker, and the performance marked his first contest since Week 2 that he made multiple field goals. Elliott has now made 11 of 13 field-goal tries over 10 games this season.
