Badgley will serve as the Bears' placekicker in Sunday's game against the Giants, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Badgley signed with the Bears on Saturday and will now start for the team in place of Cairo Santos (personal). The veteran converted 18 of his 22 field-goal tries across 13 games between the Colts and Titans last season, but rain and wind could impact Sunday's contest and therefore limit kicking opportunities.

The Bears have downgraded Santos (personal) to out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Santos didn't officially travel with the team, so it's not too surprising to see him be ruled out after having initially been listed as questionable. In his absence, Michael Badgley, who signed with Chicago yesterday, will handle kicking duties versus New York.

Santos (personal) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, but he will reportedly not travel with the team Saturday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It's a bit strange to see the Bears still listing Santos as questionable despite announcing the veteran kicker wouldn't travel with the team to New York, and elevating Michael Badgley, who was just signed to the team's practice squad Saturday, on the same day. Fantasy managers should likely anticipate using other alternatives, especially considering inclement weather could be on the horizon for Sunday's matchup.

McLaughlin was elevated to the Colts' active roster Saturday.

This is McLaughlin's final standard practice squad elevation, meaning the Colts will either have to part ways with the kicker or sign him to the active roster the next time. Since taking over as the starter, McLaughlin has made both of his field-goal attempts as well as both extra-point tries through two weeks.

Badgley was signed to the Bears' practice squad Saturday and immediately elevated to the active roster with Cairo Santos (personal) not set to travel with the team for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

The Bears still have Santos listed as questionable despite the fact he's not traveling with the team to New York, but given the move to immediately elevate Badgley from the practice squad, it sure seems as if the veteran will make his 2022 debut for Chicago. Badgley played in 13 games last season with the Colts and Titans, converting 18 of his 22 tries. With possible rainy conditions on the horizon, don't expect the 27-year-old to have a ton of opportunities if he does ultimately end up starting Sunday.

Wright was elevated to the active roster Saturday and will kick for the Chiefs on Sunday with Harrison Butker (ankle) sidelined.

Wright joined the Chiefs' practice squad earlier this week and won't waste any time jumping up to the active roster. The second-year kicker was relatively automatic last year with the Jaguars, missing just three of his 24 field goals, but all three of those misses came from 40-plus yards out. Conditions could be tricky with Sunday's game being played in Tampa Bay, as the state of Florida continues to deal with the damage from the most recent hurricane.

Butker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

The Chiefs will elevate Matthew Wright from the practice squad in Butker's absence. Wright attempted 24 field goals with the Jaguars last season, converting nearly 88 percent of his tries, with all three misses coming from 40-plus yards.

Santos (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.

Santos was absent from practice both Thursday and Friday due to a personal issue, leaving his status up in the air for Week 4. The Bears currently don't have a kicker on the practice squad, so adding one Saturday and elevating that player likely would be an indication Santos won't be available Sunday. Assuming he's active, though, he's attached to an offense that has afforded him just four field-goal attempts and six point-after tries in three games this season.

Butker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Butker missed practice Thursday and Friday, but coach Andy Reid said the kicker's status nonetheless will come down to a game-time decision, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Fantasy managers who are hoping for Butker to play for the first time since the season opener should make sure to have room on the roster for potential replacement Matthew Wright, as alternatives will be limited with the Chiefs playing Sunday night.

Prater (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Prater was limited at practices throughout the week due to a hip injury he presumably picked up during the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams, though he didn't appear bothered by the issue during the game as he connected on all four of his field-goal attempts. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Cardinals don't kick off until 4:05 PM ET on Sunday, to there'll be few replacement options available if Prater is ruled out for Week 4.
