Fairbairn converted both his field-goal attempts and his only PAT during Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Panthers.

The 32-year-old kicker heads into the regular season having not missed a kick in either of the two preseason contests in which he saw action. Fairbairn has become one of the most reliable placekickers in the league with Houston, converting better than 90 percent of his FGs in three of the last four seasons and finishing in the top five in the NFL in points each of the last two campaigns.

Reichard connected on field goals of 46 and 28 yards in the Vikings' 34-6 preseason loss to the Broncos on Friday.

The third-year kicker wrapped up a perfect preseason with his pair of successful kicks Friday. Reichard went 5-for-5 on field goals, including two from 50-plus yards, and knocked home his only PAT across three preseason games, and he'll now turn his attention to a Week 1 divisional home showdown against the Packers on Sept. 13.

McPherson connected on field goals of 29, 58 and 34 yards and also drilled all three extra-point attempts in the Bengals' 30-13 preseason win over the Eagles on Friday.

McPherson put the Bengals' first nine points of the night on the board with his trio of field goals, which included his third of 50-plus this preseason. The unblemished night capped off a perfect three-game exhibition slate for McPherson, who tuned up for what should be a busy regular season by going 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-7 on PATs.

Aubrey made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his lone PAT try in Friday's 27-24 preseason loss to the Saints.

Aubrey missed a 57-yard field-goal attempt wide right after converting from 49 yards and 51 yards, but he made the proper adjustment on his next long attempt and was successful on a 58-yard try in the final minute of the first half. After making at least 36 field goals in each of his three regular seasons with the Cowboys -- with a long of 60-plus yards in each campaign -- Aubrey is widely considered the NFL's best kicker heading into the 2026 regular season.

Zvada, per head coach John Harbaugh, will open the season as the Giants' kicker, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Zvada had been competing with Ben Sauls, but the former took every kick in Friday's preseason game and sewed up the job by going a perfect 3-of-3 on field goals and 2-on-2 on extra points. The rookie appears to have gotten back on track following a less-than-stellar senior season at Michigan, and he will now get a shot to show what he can do in the professional ranks.

Little made his only field-goal attempt, from 61 yards out, and did not attempt any extra points in the Jaguars' 19-0 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Friday.

Little's long-distance boot, which came with just over 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter, was undeniably impressive but not out of the norm for the third-year star. He went 13-for-16 on kicks from 50 yards and longer over 34 regular-season games in his first two campaigns, and he wraps up preseason having gone 7-for-7 on field-goal attempts while also knocking home his only PAT.

Loop converted two of his four field-goal attempts while going 5-for-5 on PATs in Friday night's 41-3 preseason win over the Commanders.

Loop has had a strong camp, but coach Jesse Minter did not discount the possibility of bringing in competition for the kicker spot, per Kyle Goon of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. Loop's misses Friday came from 58 and 51 yards put, and they come on the heels of a rookie season in which he made just one of his four attempts from 50 yards or longer. Loop has some level of security as the only kicker on Baltimore's roster, but he will have eyes on him moving forward.

Pineiro made all six of his field-goal attempts in Thursday night's 18-12 preseason win over the Raiders.

Pineiro had a flawless performance, accounting for all 18 of the 49ers' points in the contest. The kicker converted attempts from 24, 25, 48, 59, 51 and 54 yards away. Pineiro has now been perfect in back-to-back preseason contests while going 3-for-3 on kicks of 50 yards or more.

Mevis made two field-goal attempts from 27 yards out and converted both PATs in the Rams' 20-18 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday.

Mevis put a bow on his perfect preseason with his four kicks Thursday. The second-year kicker went 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 point-after tries across three exhibitions, affording him no shortage of momentum heading into a Week 1 matchup against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Dicker is "working through something," but head coach Jim Harbaugh is not concerned about his status, according to Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com.

Dicker went 1-of-2 on field goals and made his lone extra-point attempt in Thursday's preseason finale, but he apparently was not 100 percent during the game, with Harbaugh noting punter JK Scott would have attempted a field goal at the end of the game had an opportunity arose. Dicker's status is left uncertain for the time being, but as things stand it appears more likely than not he will be ready for what could be a high-scoring Week 1 matchup with the Cardinals.
