Gay connected on one of two field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders.

It's hard to find fault in Gay's miss of a lengthy 61-yard field-goal attempt, which went wide left, due to an unnecessary roughness penalty called on Coleman Shelton that pushed what would've been a much more manageable 46-yard field goal back. Gay booted in a long field goal from 55 yards in the first quarter and remained perfect on both of his extra points to help secure the Rams' first win in over a month.

McManus (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

McManus was sidelined during practice Wednesday due to what Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett characterized as a minor right quadriceps injury. While it's unclear when or how this issue first arose, it appears the 31-year-old kicker is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City. McManus will now have one opportunity to return to a full practice before Friday's final injury report, though Hackett already said he doesn't plan to bring in another kicker for the Week 14 divisional clash.

Pittsburgh designated Boswell (groin) for return from injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Boswell has evidently shown enough progress in his recovery from the right groin injury that has sidelined him since Week 8 to resume practicing, but it's unclear if he'll be cleared to rejoin the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens. The Steelers have a 21-day window to evaluate Boswell for a return to the roster, so the team can wait until late December to decide whether to activate him or keep him on IR for the rest of the season. Matthew Wright has served as the Steelers' kicker in the past four games, converting 12 of 14 field-goal tries and all seven of his extra-point attempts.

Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross said Fairbairn (groin) is dealing with soreness but is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Fairbairn was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to the right groin injury and had his reps capped again Thursday, but the veteran looks like he'll be ready to kick by the time the weekend arrives. The Texans have yet to bring in any kickers for a workout and don't currently carry one on their practice squad, which supports the notion that Fairbairn's availability isn't much of a question mark, at least for the time being.

McManus didn't practice Wednesday due to a right quadriceps injury, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he isn't concerned about the issue and won't bring in another kicker, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

McManus connected from 52, 41 and 50 yards before leaving a 63-yard attempt short as time time expired in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 13. The kicker appears to have picked up a groin injury during the contest, but the issue appears to be minor. McManus will have two more days to return to practice before Denver needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Fairbairn was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a right groin injury.

Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts in the Texans' Week 13 loss to Cleveland, but he appears to have picked up a groin injury along the way. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice session before Houston needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday night's 54-19 loss to the Cowboys.

McLaughlin converted from 52 and 34 yards on his field goals. With his perfect performance, McLaughlin snapped a streak of four straight games with a miss. Through 12 games, he now sports 79 points.

McManus made three of four field-goal attempts and did not take an extra point in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

McManus converted from 52, 41 and 50 yards prior to being short on a game-winning attempt from 63 yards as time expired. With 80 points this season, McManus places just inside the top 20 among kickers league-wide.

Slye converted on two of his three field-goal attempts and was successful on both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-20 with the Giants.

Slye opened the scoring with a 21-yard field goal in the first quarter, then he connected on a 42-yarder late in the second. His only miss on the day came early in the four quarter from 52 yards out, which was his first miss on a field-goal attempt from 50-plus yards on the season. After a Week 14 bye, Syle will kick against the Giants again in Week 15.

Tucker made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos.

Tucker's opportunities were limited after quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) exited during the first half. However, the kicker converted a 26-yard field goal and later knocked in the game-winning PAT with under 30 seconds remaining. Despite scoring a season-low four points, Tucker still ranks second among kickers league-wide with 103 points thus far.
