The Packers designated Hale as their NFL International Player Pathway player Wednesday.

The Australian-born kicker will not count against the Packers' 53-man roster, but he will have to clear waivers in order to join the team's practice squad, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In a corresponding move, Green Bay cut defensive lineman Kenneth Odumegwu.

Grupe went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone PAT in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Grupe hit a 52-yarder early in the third quarter, and he now gone 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries this preseason. The second-year kicker also went back to handling almost the entirety of the Saints' kicking duties after first-year player Charlie Smyth hit the game-winning field-goal attempt in the team's preseason opener. While the latter kicker handled New Orleans' first kickoff of the second quarter, his scant usage seems to indicate that there isn't a legitimate kicking competition going on here this preseason. The Saints will wrap up their preseason schedule this coming Sunday with a final exhibition against the Titans.

Joseph missed a 47-yard field-goal attempt in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Joseph was the only Packers kicker to record an attempt Sunday with Green Bay's offense unable to get much going, and he was unable to convert his lone chance. Joseph and Anders Carlson remain the primary competitors for the placekicking job in Green Bay.

Aubrey converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, including a 66-yard FG just before halftime.

Had it been the regular season, that kick from the Cowboys' side of midfield would have tied for the longest field goal in NFL history, matching the record set by Justin Tucker in 2021. Aubrey established himself as one of the best placekickers in the league as a rookie in 2023, and the 29-year-old shows no signs of becoming a one-year wonder.

Karty made two of three field goal attempts and converted his only PAT during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers.

Karty's miss from 52 yards shouldn't be too concerning, as the Rams' rookie kicker still managed to boot field goals from 48 and 43 yards, respectively. The Stanford product has officially won the starting kicking job, as Tanner Brown was released by Rams earlier this week. Karty has been solid through two preseason contests, making 4-of-5 field-goal attempts and both of his extra point tries. Karty will get one last chance to get acclimated in a preseason Week 3 showdown with the Texans.

McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt, from 42 yards out, and made his sole extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 20-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.

That's two misses in as many preseason contests for McLaughlin, who parlayed a career-best 93.5 percent success rate on field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2023 to score a three-year extension this offseason. McLaughlin doesn't have any competition on the roster and could well just be working through some kinks, but an unblemished performance in the exhibition finale against the Dolphins on Friday night would certainly build some confidence.

Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Saturday that Hopkins is dealing with a minor injury but will be ready for the regular season, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

With Hopkins expected to be available Week 1, fantasy managers should read nothing into Cade York handling the kicking chores the first two preseason games. Using York could also be a showcase for a potential trade suitor later this summer.

York was successful on his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.

The Browns have used York in both preseason games thus far, and the kicker has yet to miss, including making a 55-yard field goal in last week's preseason opener. The Browns expended a fourth-round draft pick in 2022 on York, who was expected to put an end to the team's placekicking woes, but he flamed out. Dustin Hopkins (undisclosed minor injury) owns the job now, and York is around this preseason as insurance and a showcase for potential trade partners.

Gay missed field-goal attempts from 56 and 44 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona. He converted all three extra-point attempts.

Gay is just 1-for-4 in field-goal attempts in two preseason games, also missing a 36-yard attempt in the first exhibition. His only make is from 26 yards. We wouldn't be too worried about a miss longer than 50 yards, but Gay signed one of the largest contracts in the league for a kicker (four-year, $22.5 million deal) to be more reliable than he's shown in the preseason.

Gano converted his only field-goal attempt from 31 yards and made his lone extra-point try in Saturday's preseason loss to Houston.

Gano hasn't had a lot of opportunities through two preseason games -- he didn't try a field goal and made his only extra-point attempt in the Giants' exhibition opener -- but he appears fully recovered from the knee injury that landed him on IR after just eight games last season. The veteran kicker has a big and accurate leg, as evidenced by his 23 field-goal makes on 29 tries from 50-plus yards since joining New York in 2020, but his fantasy value could be capped if the Giants offense isn't vastly better than it was last season.
