Myers made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Saturday's 41-23 loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round.

Myers converted from 56 yards on his lone field goal. Despite his season now being over, Myers can take pride in leading the league in scoring while being selected to his second Pro Bowl this season. He'll now enter unrestricted free agency as a hot commodity.

Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on point-after tries during Saturday's 31-13 win versus the Raiders.

Butker nailed all five of his kicks to assist in the Chiefs earning the No. 1 seed -- aside from a playoff scenario that would result in the Bills and Chiefs playing at a neutral site. However, Butker finished the year with the lowest field-goal accuracy (75 percent), the fewest field-goal attempts (24) and the second-fewest extra-point tries of his career, resulting in his worst fantasy campaign. Butker wasn't particularly desirable as a fantasy kicker as a result, finishing outside the top 20 and off the radar in most formats. However, the Chiefs still led the league in scoring at 29.2 points per game, so Butker should be a highly valued target in drafts next season. Butker remains under contract in Kansas City through the 2023 campaign.

Dicker finished the 2022-23 season converting 21 of his 22 field-goal tries and all 24 of his extra-point attempts.

Dicker filled in admirably for Dustin Hopkins who missed the majority of the season with a hamstring injury. The rookie kicker led the NFL in field goal-percentage, but he missed the only kick he attempted from beyond 50 yards. While Dicker is a free agent this offseason, he certainly did enough to compete for the starting role either in Los Angeles or elsewhere.

Patterson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

One day after sitting out the Jaguars' first practice session of the week due to the right knee injury, Patterson was able to take full reps, clearing up any concern about his health. He looks like he'll be in line to handle kicking duties for Jacksonville in Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

Patterson (knee) was spotted practicing Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Patterson didn't practice Tuesday, but his return to the field Wednesday bodes well for his chances of being able to handle kicking duties in Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers. If Patterson can't get cleared to kick this weekend, the Jaguars will likely elevate James McCourt from the practice squad to replace him.

Tennessee signed Shudak to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Shudak signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa this past offseason. The rookie then landed on the reserve/PUP list with an undisclosed injury in mid August, and he was not activated by Tennessee until Nov. 26. Shudak made his NFL debut Week 12 in place of injured starting kicker Randy Bullock, going 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try. The 25-year-old Shudak finished the season on the team's practice squad, and he'll look for another chance to make the active roster during the 2023 offseason.

The Colts signed Havrisik to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Havrisik tried out with Indianapolis during the team's 2022 Rookie Mini-Camp. He then signed with the team's practice squad Sept. 13 after the team let go starting kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, but the rookie lost out in a competition against veteran Chase McLaughlin and was waived himself one week later. Havrisik will now look to earn a role on either the practice squad or active roster heading into the 2023 campaign.

Slye missed two of four field-goal attempts and one of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Cowboys.

Slye converted field goals from 29 and 22 yards, but only after he missed from 31 and 52 yards, not to mention a failed PAT. In 17 games this season, Slye made just 25 of 30 field goals and 24 of 28 extra points, limiting himself to 99 total points, which ranked outside the top 25 in scoring for kickers. The 26-year-old remains under contact with Washington for next season.

Myers made four of five field-goal attempts -- including a game-winning 32-yarder -- and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams.

Myers hit the right upright with a 46-yard field goal as regulation expired, but he atoned for his mistake by converting in overtime. In doing so, Myers not only helped Seattle ultimately make the playoffs, but his last kick saw Myers finish the regular season with more points than any other kicker league-wide. He'll strive to add to his career-best tally of 143 on the campaign when the Seahawks play the 49ers on Saturday in the wild-card round.

Elliott made all five of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Giants.

Elliott converted from 32, 52, 39, 54 and 22 yards on his field goals. In 16 games this season, he made 20 of 23 field-goal attempts and 51 of 53 extra-point tries en route to 111 points, which ranked just inside the top 20 for kickers league-wide.
