Pineiro made each of his point-after attempts in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

It was an uneventful game for Pineiro for the second consecutive week, as he hasn't attempted a field goal since Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. The 29-year-old is expected to continue being a reliable option in Carolina, however, he likely will continue to see few scoring opportunities when the Panthers host the Saints in Week 9.

Slye made his only field-goal attempt and converted on both extra-point tries in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

Slye was successful on a 23-yard chip shot in the fourth quarter, which gave the Patriots a one-point lead with 7:36 left to play in the game. Slye is now 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries through the first seven games of the regular season.

Gay went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Gay was once again perfect in Week 8, nailing a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 37-yarder in the third. Through seven games in 2024, the kicker has gone 12-for-13 on field goals and a perfect 16-for-16 on PATs.

McPherson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Eagles.

McPherson made a 27-yard chip shot early in the second quarter, but his 54-yard field-goal attempt later in the frame missed wide left. It was his fourth miss on a field-goal attempt this season, and three of the other misses have come over the Bengals' last four regular-season games. McPherson will look to get back on track against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Aubrey (personal) is traveling with the Cowboys to San Francisco ahead of Sunday's Week 8 contest versus the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Aubrey served jury duty this week, preventing him from practicing in any capacity. However, he's with the Cowboys on the team's flight to San Francisco on Saturday, eliminating any doubt about the talented kicker being able to suit up Sunday. Aubrey has been excellent again for Dallas this season, converting 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including eight of nine from 50-plus yards.

The 49ers elevated Carlson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, in preparation for him to start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Carlson will get another chance to start for San Francisco due to Jake Moody (ankle) being ruled out for Week 8 and Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve. Carlson, a second-year pro, converted both of his field-goal tries Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he missed his lone extra-point attempt.

Karty connected on all four of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.

The rookie kicker wasn't asked to do much against the Vikings, but Karty was able to shake the nerves off after two straight weeks with a missed PAT and drilled all four of his extra-point attempts. Karty's next task will be handling the imposing crowd of the division-rival Seahawks in Week 9, and he'll look to return to his perfect field-goal kicking form he had in Weeks 1-3.

Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Rams.

Reichard's perfect start to his NFL career continues. The rookie sixth-round draft pick out of Alabama has hit all 14 of his field-goal attempts to go with 20 makes in as many PATs tried. Reichard has hit from as far as 58 yards, but he wasn't challenged Thursday, as his longest kick was in chip-shot range at 35 yards.

Aubrey won't practice Thursday for the second straight day while away on jury duty, but head coach Mike McCarthy said that the Cowboys "have a plan to make sure he's ready to go" for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Though the organization was willing to pursue an exemption that would allow Aubrey to bypass jury duty, the 29-year-old was reportedly insistent on fulfilling his civic responsibility after he was selected to be part of a 12-person jury for a felony assault case in Tarrant County, Texas. Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have an expectation that the judge overseeing the assault case will be willing to accommodate the kicker's schedule, which will allow him to potentially practice Friday and play Sunday even if the case isn't resolved by then. Aubrey has been one of the top fantasy kickers this season, converting all nine of his extra-point tries and 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, which includes an 8-for-9 mark from 50-plus yards.

McLaughlin converted one of his two field-goal attempts and knocked down both of his point-after tries in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

McLaughlin had gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries through the Buccaneers' first six games, but he saw his streak of perfection come to an end midway through the third quarter of Monday's contest. He nearly came through with his sixth kick of the season of more than 50 yards, but his 55-yard attempt clanked off the right upright. While being attached to a high-powered Tampa Bay offense, McLaughlin has recorded at least nine points in four of the first seven games, but his scoring opportunities could become more limited over the next few games after the Buccaneers lost their top two receivers (Mike Evans and Chris Godwin) to injuries in Monday's loss.
