Patterson went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

Patterson was the main producer of Miami's offense in Week 13, making field goals from 39, 25 and 48 yards in the second quarter before later adding a 33-yarder in the fourth. The kicker has now made multiple field-goal tries in seven of the last eight contests, going 16-for-18 over that stretch.

The 49ers elevated Gay from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the 49ers' starting kicker against the Browns on Sunday.

Gay will kick for the 49ers for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Eddy Pineiro (hamstring). Gay made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the 49ers' Week 12 win over the Panthers.

The Saints elevated Smyth from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Dolphins.

Smyth competed with Cade York for the kicking job during Week 13 prep after the Saints waived Blake Grupe. Smyth has won that battle, and the Northern Ireland native -- who joined New Orleans in late March as a qualifying international player -- will make his NFL debut Sunday.

Elliott made one of two field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try during Friday's 24-15 loss versus the Bears.

Elliott made the longest field goal of the day (44 yards) early in the second quarter to open the scoring for Philadelphia, but he went cold afterwards, missing a PAT in the third quarter and a 52-yard attempt on the second-to-last play of the game. The Eagles' general dysfunction on offense keeps him from being a coveted fantasy asset with a Week 14 matchup against the Chargers on tap.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Friday's 24-15 win at Philadelphia.

Santos wasn't asked to do much on a chilly November day against the Eagles, as his only field-goal try came from just 30 yards out. He remains perfect for the season on field goals from within 40 yards and on point-after attempts. The Bears will take on one of the league's best defenses in Green Bay in Week 14, likely putting a cap on his fantasy upside.

The Packers signed Havrisik to the practice squad Friday.

Green Bay cut Havrisik on Wednesday, but he's returning to the organization as placekicker depth behind Brandon McManus.

Pineiro (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Matt Gay will fill in again for the 49ers in a game that could feature snow.

The Rams waived Karty on Friday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

One of the few liabilities on the Rams' roster, Karty was a miserable 10-for-15 on field-goal attempts and 23-for-26 on extra points through eight games prior to being benched in favor of Harrison Mevis, who has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on his kicks through three games.

McPherson made all six of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Thursday night's 32-14 win over the Ravens.

McPherson accounted for Cincinnati's first 12 points, making kicks from 31, 42, 24 and 33 yards out to give the Bengals a 12-7 lead at halftime. He then kicked a pair of PATs before making kicks from 52 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter. Through 12 games this season, McPherson is 23-for-26 on field goals a perfect 27-of-27 on extra points.

Loop converted both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday night's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

The Ravens turned the ball over five times against Cincinnati, which contributed to fewer attempts for Loop. The rookie kicker is 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-30 on PATs through 12 games.
