    49ers' Jake Moody: Logs another limited practice

    Moody (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

    Moody is looking to return from a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 5 against Arizona. The second-year kicker has been limited at the first two 49ers practices to begin the week, so he has a decent -- but not guaranteed -- chance of taking the field Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Anders Carlson, who kicked for San Francisco in Weeks 7 and 8, was cut from the team's practice squad Tuesday, which could be an indication that Moody is expected to make his return this weekend.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Returns to practice Thursday

    Seibert (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Seibert missed Wednesday's practice due to a hip issue, but he is trending in the right direction by returning for Thursday's session, albeit in a limited fashion. The Commanders have yet to add a kicker to the practice squad or 53-man roster, which could indicate that Seibert should be able to play against the Steelers on Sunday.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Remains limited Thursday

    Gano (right hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    In the wake of New York designating him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Gano has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he tests out the right hamstring that he strained on the opening kickoff of a Week 2 matchup with the Commanders. If Gano isn't able to get back on the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Panthers in Germany, Jude McAtamney would be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Seibert didn't practice Wednesday due to a right hip injury.

    Seibert made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts in the Commanders' Week 9 win over the Giants, but he may have tweaked his hip at some point along the way. Look for the Commanders to add another kicker to their practice squad or 53-man roster if Seibert misses additional practices later this week, which would put his status for Sunday's game against the Steelers in jeopardy.

  • Jake Moody K | SF

    49ers' Jake Moody: Opens week as limited

    Moody (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Moody suffered a high-ankle sprain during the 49ers' Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, which caused him to miss the last three games. With the 49ers coming out of a Week 9 bye, Moody was able to return to practice Wednesday, albeit with a cap on his reps. If he's able to advance to full participation in practice by Friday, it would bode well for Moody's chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers. Moody has converted 13 of 14 field-goal attempts and 12 of 12 extra-point tries through five outings this season.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Returns to limited practice

    Gano (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Gano missed the past seven games with a hamstring strain but could be available to play as soon as this Sunday against the Panthers in Munich after the Giants designated him for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday. The Giants initially turned to Greg Joseph to replace Gano, only for Joseph to land on IR last week with an abdominal injury. The Giants elevated Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle kicking duties in last week's loss to Washington, and he'll likely be elevated again in Week 10 in the event Gano isn't ready to play in Germany.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Set to practice Wednesday

    The Giants designated Gano (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Gano has been cleared to resume practicing with the Giants for the first time since Week 2 after missing the team's last seven games with a right hamstring strain. Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's loss to Washington to handle kicking duties, but with no other kicker on the 53-man roster at the moment, the expectation is that Gano will be ready to play this Sunday against the Panthers in Munich if he experiences no setbacks in practice.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on four kicks

    McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt from 47 yards out and was successful on all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

    McLaughlin once again maximized his opportunities and generated his second straight six-point performance. The veteran kicker is keeping pace with his career-best 2024, as he's posted a 93.3 percent success rate on field-goal attempts and has missed just one of his 28 PATs. McLaughlin's only field-goal miss has been from 50-plus yards, and he could be busier on that front during a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers if Tampa Bay's offense stalls out more than it did against Kansas City.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Strikes true on all five kicks

    Ryland connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 29-9 victory over the Bears.

    With his successful 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter Sunday, Ryland now has made 50-plus yarders in back-to-back games, and he's so far missed just one kick (a 45-yard FGA that was blocked and returned for a TD in Week 5 at San Francisco) in five games subbing in for the injured Matt Prater (knee). Prater must miss at least one more contest while on injured reserve, so Ryland again is poised to handle placekicking duties for the Cardinals this coming Sunday against the Jets.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Delivers 11 points vs. Las Vegas

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.

    Sunday was the third time this season that McPherson has contributed at least 10 points for the Bengals. Through the first nine games of the regular season, McPherson has connected on 13 of 17 field-goal attempts and has gone 25-for-26 on extra-point attempts.
