Aubrey knocked down his lone field-goal attempt from 29 yards and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Aubrey didn't practice in any capacity in Week 8 while he was away from the team on jury duty, but he made the flight to San Francisco and was as sharp as ever in the few scoring opportunities that were presented to him. Through seven appearances on the season, Aubrey has knocked down all 12 of his extra-point attempts and 18 of 20 field-goal tries, including an 8-for-9 mark from 50-plus yards.

Koo made one of two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.

After a perfect start to the season, Koo has gone just 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts over the past four weeks, with all his misses coming from beyond 40 yards. His inconsistency from deep drops his value, but the Falcons' offense continues to impress, meaning Koo should get plenty of chances to bounce back.

The Jets placed Zuerlein (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Zuerlein, who has made nine of his 15 field-goal attempts through eight contests to date, will thus be sidelined until at least Week 14. The Jets signed Spencer Shrader and Riley Patterson to their practice squad Wednesday, and one of the two will presumably be elevated in advance of Thursday's game against the Texans to handle kicking duties in Zuerlein's stead.

Shrader signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Shrader signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in the spring and, due to a Matt Gay injury, he was their Week 1 kicker. He made all three PATs but didn't attempt a field goal. Since then, he has bounced off and on the team's practice squad. He'll now spend Wednesday competing with Riley Patterson to see who will kick for the Jets on Thursday against the Texans, as Greg Zuerlein (knee) is not expected to play.

Patterson signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Patterson has been on the free agent market since getting waived by the Commanders in August. The 25-year-old kicked for the Lions last season, appearing in 13 games and making 88 percent of his FGAs. He'll spend Wednesday competing with fellow practice squad signing Spencer Shrader to see who will kick for the Jets on Thursday against the Texans, as Greg Zuerlein (knee) is not expected to play.

Zuerlein was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report with a left knee injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Zuerlein wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but the embattled kicker appears to be dealing with a left knee injury that could affect his availability for Thursday's game against the Texans. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that the Jets hosted six kickers for a workout Tuesday, and if the team elects to sign someone, it would be an indication that Zuerlein is unlikely to play Thursday. Zuerlein has converted on just nine of his 15 field-goal attempts and has gone 13-for-14 on extra-point tries through the first eight games of the season.

Joseph went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and didn't attempt an extra point Monday in a loss to the Steelers.

Joseph provided all of the first-half scoring for the Giants, making field goals from 29, 39 and 44 yards out. He added to his ledger with a 48-yarder with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to bring New York to within eight points. The veteran kicker had gone 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the previous two weeks, highlighting how unpredictable his opportunities can be as part of a Giants offense that is averaging the second-fewest points per game in the league. Joseph's hold on New York's placekicker role is also unsteady, as Graham Gano -- who is on IR due to a hamstring injury -- is eligible to return and will likely do so as soon as he is back to health.

Boswell converted all four of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.

Boswell didn't have any particularly long attempts during Monday's primetime matchup, as his longest field-goal attempt came from 31 yards. However, he remained perfect once again and has converted all 11 of his field-goal attempts while making all eight of his extra-point tries over the three games heading into Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old is tied with Austin Seibert for the most made field goals to begin the season, and Boswell's 95.8 percent field-goal conversion rate leads the league among kickers with at least 15 attempts.

Tucker converted one of two field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns.

Tucker missed his fourth field-goal attempt of the year in Week 8's divisional loss, though he also converted a 49-yarder early in the contest. All four of Tucker's missed kicks this season have come from 40-plus yards out, with three having been attempts of at least 50 yards. The Ravens will remain at home in Baltimore for the next two upcoming contests, matchups against the Broncos and Bengals.

Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and tacked on a pair of extra points in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Carlson booted a 54-yard field goal to give the Raiders a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter, and he added a 32-yard make in the second half. He's accrued 23 total points over Las Vegas' last two games, but Carlson will be kicking without a roof for the first time since Week 5 when the Raiders head outdoors to Cincinnati in Week 9.
