  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes all kicks

    Dicker made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Dicker converted from a career-long 55 yards on his lone field goal. Through six appearances, he sports 40 points, having made 24 of 25 total attempts.

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Third game-winner of season

    Koo made all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 51-yarder as time expired, to clinch Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers. He also converted his only extra point.

    Koo's other field goals came from 24 and 41 yards. Along with Sunday's triumph, Koo has supplied the game-winning kick two other times this season. Overall, he's made 21 of 23 attempts, notching 47 points in seven contests.

  • James McCourt: Catches on to Vegas' practice squad

    The Raiders signed McCourt to the practice squad Tuesday.

    McCourt was cut by the Jaguars on Aug. 29 ahead of the 53-man roster deadline after failing to beat out Brandon McManus for the starting job. McCourt would be the next man up for the kicking job in Las Vegas if anything should happen to current starter Daniel Carlson, who is 11 of 14 on field goals this season.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Third miss in two weeks

    Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota.

    Moody shanked his first field-goal attempt in the first quarter of Monday's tight loss after missing a potential game-winning kick against the Browns in Week 6. The rookie's hot start to the year has quickly evaporated with three failed attempts in two weeks, with only one kick coming from long range (54 yards vs. the Browns). Moody's recent struggles should push him down the Week 8 kicker rankings for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Misses crucial kick in Week 7

    Prater made one of two field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 20-10 defeat at Seattle.

    In a game in which the Cardinals got inside the Seahawks' 25-yard line on just one of their 11 possessions, scoring chances were difficult to come by. And while Prater made his first FGA from 44 yards out, his miss wide left from 34 yards early in the fourth quarter kept the score at 17-10 in an eventual 10-point loss. After this four-point showing, Prater now sits in a tie for 21st among NFL kickers with 6.7 points per game.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect in win

    Lutz went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries while making his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Packers.

    Lutz continued his perfect streak on kicking tries despite failing to attempt a single kick in Week 6. The veteran kicker connected on field goals from 29, 32, 35 and 52 yards out in the contest and was responsible for 13 of the Broncos' 19 points Sunday. Lutz will look to build off this impressive performance in a Week 8 rematch against the Chiefs.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Los Angeles' new kicker

    The Rams plan to sign Havrisik off the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Los Angeles parted ways with kicker Brett Maher after he missed two field goals and one extra point during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers, and the team wasted no time finding his replacement. Since the Rams are planning on signing Havrisik off Cleveland's practice squad, he'll end up on the team's active roster, per Cameron DaSilva of USA Sports Today. Havrisik went undrafted in 2022 out of Arizona, and he has yet to appear in an NFL game.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Brett Maher: Let go by Rams

    Los Angeles released Maher on Tuesday.

    Maher's release comes after a 24-17 loss to the Steelers in which he missed two crucial field goals, both from just over 50 yards out, and with another PAT that went wide left. The veteran did convert one field-goal try from 41 yards out, but that wasn't enough to save his job. The Rams don't currently have another placekicker on the active roster, but it likely won't take much time before new options are brought in. Maher, meanwhile, will need to search for an opportunity elsewhere in the league.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Blanked by Ravens

    Patterson did not attempt a field goal or an extra point during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Patterson had not attempted fewer than two PATs in any game before Sunday's rock-bottom production. Entering halftime with 258 fewer yards of total offense than Baltimore, Detroit did Patterson no favors in getting opportunities to put up points. However, the Lions had been rolling all season up until this point, and the offensive unit still ranks eighth in scoring and fourth in total yards per game. Patterson will look to bounce back on his home turf in Week 8 against Las Vegas.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect in Week 7 loss

    McLaughlin drilled field-goal attempts from 24 and 36 yards and made his only extra-point attempt in the Buccaneers' 16-13 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    McLaughlin pushed his streak of perfect kicking performances to four games with Sunday's showing. The fifth-year pro has seen a pair of field-goal opportunities apiece in three consecutive contests, but with the Buccaneers hitting plenty of snags offensively over the last two games, his only extra-point attempt in that span was the one he converted against the Falcons. McLaughlin could have an uphill battle for scoring opportunities again in Thursday night's Week 8 road matchup against the Bills.
