Zvada went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.

Zvada converted multiple field goals for the third week in a row. The kicker made kicks from 39 and 50 yards in the first half before later adding a 52-yard make with 2:11 left in the fourth quarter. Zvada has now opened his NFL regular-season career by going 9-for-9 on field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards, over four contests so far in 2026.

Little went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and his only PAT during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Bengals.

Little delivered a pair of field-goal makes from 55 and 28 yards in the first half before later adding another 54-yard make in the third quarter. The kicker has now gone 7-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, and he figures to continue to get plenty of opportunities while finishing off the drives of Jacksonville's potent offense.

Fairbairn converted on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 point-after tries in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.

Despite the loss, the Texans offense had it going in Week 4, resulting in Fairbairn finishing with his best performance of the 2026 campaign. His three field goals included a 54-yarder, his second longest kick of the season. With the winless Titans on tap for Week 5, Fairbairn could be in line for another productive showing.

Shrader went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-13 win over Washington.

Shrader was able to stay red-hot across the pond in London. The kicker nailed field goals from 48, 52 and 44 yards in the contest, remaining perfect on the season. Through four games, Shrader has gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-5 from 50-plus yards, and he's becoming one of the more reliable fantasy options in the league.

Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone point-after try in a loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football.

Both of Boswell's FG tries came in the second quarter; he missed a 48-yarder midway through the period before making a 31-yarder just before halftime. The missed kick ended up being costly, as the Steelers lost by three points on a last-second Andre Szmyt field goal. Boswell has struggled a bit to begin the campaign, going 7-for-10 on FG attempts but making all six of his PAT tries though three games. All of his misses so far have come from at least 48 yards, so he's been reliable from shorter ranges.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries Thursday in a 27-24 win over Pittsburgh.

Szmyt's first field goal was pretty clutch, as he nailed a 44-yarder to give Cleveland an eight-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the second-year kicker's next FG was much more dramatic -- he sailed a 56-yarder through the uprights with 10 seconds remaining to give his team a three-point victory. Szmyt has quietly emerged as one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL, as he's made 22 consecutive field-goal tries dating back to last season. His 56-yard game-winner Thursday was the longest of his career so far.

The Jets signed Grupe to the practice squad Thursday, per Eric Allen of the team's official site.

The 27-year-old was originally set to be the team's starting kicker entering Week 1, but after three consecutive weeks of remaining inactive behind Jason Sanders, Grupe was cut by the Jets on Tuesday. The fourth-year pro will remain an emergency option on New York's practice squad should Sanders' role change.

The Jets signed to Sanders off their practice squad Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Though New York cut him at the conclusion of the preseason, Sanders re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad and was elevated for each of the Jets' first three games of the season. He went 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and drilled all five of his point-after attempts during that stretch, with his performance earning him a spot on the 53-man roster. Sanders should have more security as the Jets' kicker moving forward after New York waived Blake Grupe in a corresponding move.

The Jets waived Grupe on Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Grupe appeared poised to open the season as the Jets' kicker after he was scooped up off waivers from the Colts on Aug. 31, but he ended up being inactive for New York's first three games after Jason Sanders was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for each of those contests. The Jets have now opted to commit to Sanders as their kicker, signing him to the 53-man roster while parting ways with Grupe. Between stops with the Saints and Colts in 2025, Grupe converted on 29 of 37 field-goal attempts -- including seven of 10 from 50-plus yards -- while drilling all 25 of his extra-point tries. He may not have to wait long before finding an opportunity elsewhere.

Elliott converted his sole PAT and attempted no field goals in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Elliott had an uneventful day, kicking through his one extra point on a second-quarter touchdown. The kicker remains 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and moves to 7-of-7 on extra-point tries through three regular-season games.
