Giants' Ben Sauls: Returns to practice squad
Sauls reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
After waiving Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, the Giants turned to Sauls to serve as the starting kicker against the Vikings on Sunday, when he made both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 39 yards while nailing his lone point-after try.

Bills' Michael Badgley: Back to practice squad
Badgley reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.
Badgley was brought up from the practice squad to serve as the Bills' kicker in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns after Matt Prater (quadriceps) was forced to miss his first game of the season. He made his lone field-goal attempt from 41 yards and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries. If Prater is unable to progress enough in his recovery to play Week 17 against the Eagles, Badgley would likely be summoned from the practice squad once again.
