Head coach Kliff Kingsbury called Prater (hip) week-to-week Wednesday and added the kicker doesn't seem likely to play Sunday in Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The Cardinals have a contingency plan in place after signing Matt Ammendola off their practice squad Wednesday. If Prater misses a second straight game this weekend, Ammendola again will fill in at placekicker after making one of two field-goal attempts and both point-after tries this past Sunday against the Eagles.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Butker (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Butker has missed four straight games since suffering an ankle sprain during the season opener, but his participation in practice suggests he's getting close to making his return. If he's able to avoid a setback over the next few days, the veteran kicker should be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Bass missed one of two field-goal attempts but made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.

Bass had a 49-yard field goal blocked in the first quarter, but he rallied to convert from 35 yards on the next drive. With Buffalo's offense having another big day, he got a handful more PATs to his name, bringing his season tally to 42 points, which ranks third among kickers league-wide.

Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad.

In Week 5's matchup against the Raiders, Wright made one of his two field goal attempts for 59 yards but missed his attempt from 41. The 26-year-old kicker also made all three of his extra point attempts. Wright will have one more attempt for activation while on the Chiefs' practice squad in 2022.

Tucker connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Once again, Baltimore got the ball into field goal range late and Tucker took care of the rest with a game-winning 43-yarder to finish off a prolific evening from the star kicker. Tucker also hit a 50-yard field goal for the fourth week in a row. He is 9-for-9 on field goals this season and 15-for-16 on extra points through five games. The Ravens hit the road to face the Giants in Week 6.

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted a pair of extra-point tries in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Carlson was good from 47, 50 and 53 yards as he remains automatic on field-goal attempts this season, still without a miss since Week 9 of the 2021 campaign. He currently paces the NFL in points with 53 through five games as the Raiders head into their bye week.

Dicker reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Dicker was elevated to the active roster with Jake Elliott out with an ankle injury. Not only did Dicker connect on both of his field-goal attempts and PATs, he booted the go-ahead and eventual game-winning field goal with 1:45 remaining. If Elliott is unable to go Sunday against the Cowboys, Dicker will likely handle kicking duties again.

Pineiro made three of four field-goal attempts but didn't have any extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.

Pineiro opened the game by sending a 41-yard field goal wide left, marking his first missed kick as a Panther. However, by rebounding with makes from 43, 37 and 34 yards, Pineiro still brought his season tally to a commendable 39 points through five games.

Dicker made both his field goals and both his extra points in his NFL debut Sunday against the Cardinals.

Dicker got the start in place of Jake Elliott (ankle) and did not disappoint. He got the chance to ease his nerves with a pair of extra points early in the game and added a 42-yard field goal in the middle of the third quarter. Later on, he put the Eagles ahead by a 20-17 score by drilling a 23-yarder with 1:45 left. That stood as the game-winning kick, as Cardinals' kicker Matt Ammendola missed a 43-yard kick to tie it up with 22 seconds to play. If Elliott remains unable to go Sunday against the Cowboys, expect Dicker to suit up again.

Badgley reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Badgley served as the starting kicker during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England after the team waived Austin Seibert last Friday. However, the practice-squad kicker did not get a chance to attempt a field goal against the Patriots due to the Lions' lack of offensive production in Week 5. Badgley will likely be elevated from the practice squad over each of the next two weeks before requiring a spot on the Lions' active roster in order to suit up moving forward this season.
