Bass made his only field-goal attempt -- a 40-yarder -- and was 2-of-3 on extra-point attempts in Saturday's preseason win over the Colts.

The extra-point miss was a rarity for Bass, who's hit 99 of them on 101 attempts over the last two regular seasons, so we'll chalk it up as an anomaly. He has no competition ahead of the season and is locked into the starting kicker role for his fourth NFL campaign. Bass has reportedly looked great in training camp as well. The weather is always a concern during fantasy playoff weeks, but Bass has proven himself to be quite reliable and plays in an offense that is typically in the league's top group. He should be one of the first five kickers off the board in almost any format.

Potter converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries during Friday's 27-17 preseason win over Tampa Bay.

Potter joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent during the offseason to compete with Chris Boswell for the starting placekicking job. Potter got the first opportunity to kick during the preseason, while Boswell didn't see the field. It wouldn't be surprising to see Boswell have some chances to play later in the preseason, but Potter had an encouraging performance Friday.

Pineiro (groin) isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

As expected, Pineiro will miss the team's first exhibition due to a groin issue that has bothered him during training camp. In his stead, Matthew Wright will presumably handle all kicking duties. Pineiro's next chance to see game action will arrive Friday against the Giants.

McLaughlin converted both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-17 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday. He did not record any field-goal attempts.

McLaughlin's competition for the placekicker job, Rodrigo Blankenship, successfully handled the Buccaneers' lone field-goal attempt from 35 yards out. Consequently, the battle between the two kickers seemingly remains as tight as ever heading into another week of training camp practices ahead of next Saturday's road preseason matchup against the Jets.

Blakenship converted his lone field-goal attempt -- from 35 yards out -- in the Buccaneers' 27-17 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday. He did not have any extra-point tries.

Blankenship was true on his one boot and his competition for the placekicker job, Chase McLaughlin, handled both of Tampa Bay's point-after tries successfully. Consequently, the battle between the two kickers seemingly remains deadlocked heading into another week of training camp practices ahead of next Saturday's road preseason matchup against the Jets.

Carlson made a 45-yard field goal and three of five extra-point attempts in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.

The rookie was true on his first four kicks as a professional, but he also misfired on his final two extra-point attempts of the evening, which is cause for at least some concern. As a sixth-round draft pick and the only kicker on the roster, Carlson remains the favorite to open the season as Green Bay's kicker. However, he could get some competition for the job, and one way or another the Packers will be looking for better results when they face the Patriots in their second exhibition game.

York missed his lone field-goal attempt in Friday's preseason game against Washington.

York pushed a 46-yarder wide right, the second miss of the preseason with both going astray to the same side. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said he's not concerned about York, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports, and Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports the Browns have no plans to bring in a kicker to compete with York.

Blankenship and his competitor for the Buccaneers' placekicking job, Chase McLaughlin, have been running very close in their training camp competition heading into Friday's preseason opener against the Steelers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Blankenship has 56 career regular-season field-goal attempts on his resume and has been displaying impressive leg strength during training camp, so he's believed to be just as viable a candidate as the player who actually replaced him in Indianapolis a year ago, McLaughlin. The job battle between the two young veterans could well extend all the way through the third preseason game, and Smith reports that Wednesday's dead-even kicking derby in practice -- which saw both players go a perfect 4-for-4 on attempts of varying distances -- was a microcosm of the dead heat the job battle has been heading into Friday night's exhibition opener.

Wolff and Caleb Shudak are neck-and-neck in a camp competition at kicker ahead of Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

Wolff has connected on 46 of 51 field-goal attempts in training camp, while Shudak has made 40 of 44 tries. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Wolff has a stronger leg than the 5-foot-7, 177-pound Shudak, so if Wolff can continue to match Shudak's accuracy, the rookie out of Texas Tech could have the inside track on the starting job.

Shudak and Trey Wolff are locked in a close competition at kicker heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

Wolff has made 46 of 51 field-goal attempts in camp, while Shudak has connected on 40 of 44 tries. Rexrode notes that Wolff has a stronger leg, which would likely break the tie if the two kickers continue to display similar accuracy, but how they kick in game situations during the preseason will likely be the determining factor as to which kicker ultimately wins the job for the Titans.
