  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Likely available for Week 1

    Gano (concussion) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Titans, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Gano suffered a concussion while trying to make a tackle during the Giants' second preseason game and has remained sidelined since. New York brought in Ryan Santoso as an emergency fill-in for the preseason finale, but the team waived him Monday, suggesting they have confidence that Gano will be fully healthy by the start of the regular season.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Nails 49-yarder

    Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 49 yards and converted all four of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

    Zuerlein showed off the mix of accuracy and power that helped him beat out Eddy Pineiro in New York's training camp kicking competition. The veteran kicker could be busy in 2022 on a Jets offense with enough weapons to move the ball but a lack of established red-zone producers to finish off drives.

  • Cameron Dicker: Let go by Ravens

    Dicker was waived by the Ravens on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Dicker spent time with the Rams earlier in the offseason after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. He spent just three days in Baltimore but was unable to land a spot on the team's final roster.

    Browns' Cade York: Legend grows

    York connected on two of three field-goal attempts in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago.

    York has been wowing onlookers during training camp and did nothing to diminish his believers Saturday. He was successful on kicks from 57 and 46 yards. The rookie's lone miss was wide left from 58 yards out. "I just didn't attack the ball enough," he told George M. Thomas of the Akron Beacon Journal regarding the missed kick. York has been successful from 50 and 57 yards during preseason action, and his two misses were from 55 and 58 yards. the fourth-round draft pick could be a fantasy asset this season, as Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has no qualms about sending him out for long-distance attempts.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Standout effort in preseason finale

    Joseph drilled field-goal attempts of 46 and 58 yards and converted his one extra-point try during the Vikings' 23-13 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    The four-year pro couldn't have asked for a better tune-up for the regular season, particularly boosting his confidence with his 58-yard conversion on the first play of the fourth quarter. The long-distance success is nothing new for Joseph, who went 7-for-9 on attempts from 50 yards and beyond a season ago. The Florida Atlantic product's already solid fantasy value could get another boost this season if new head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense generates quick returns.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Perfect in preseason

    Gay went 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points during the preseason.

    Gay's longest field goal was a 43-yard attempt during the Rams' second preseason game against the Texans. Cameron Dicker went a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points during the first preseason game against the Chargers, but he was waived Aug 16. Gay should have little difficulty hanging on to the starting role on a prolific offense, which should bring plenty of opportunities for the accurate kicker, who made 32 of 34 field-goal attempts and 48 of 49 extra-point tries during the 2021 campaign.

  • Eddy Pineiro: Visits with Carolina

    Pineiro was brought in for a free-agent visit by the Panthers on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Pineiro was let go by the Jets on Tuesday after losing out on the team's starting kicker competition against Greg Zuerlein this offseason. Carolina may be in a need of a new kicker for the 2022 regular season after projected starter Zane Gonzalez (groin) suffered what is expected to be a long-term injury during the team's preseason game against the Bills on Friday. Pineiro converted 23 of 28 field-goal tries and 27 of his 29 extra-point tries over 16 games with the Bears in 2019, and he made all 17 of his kicks while filling in over the final five games of last season for the Jets.

  • Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: Likely out long term

    Gonzalez is expected to be placed on injured reserve after suffering a "significant" groin injury, Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    It's unclear if the injury is of the season-ending variety, but it certainly appears as if the veteran kicker will be out for a long period of time regardless. The Panthers don't currently have another kicker on the active, so expect the team to sign one shortly after roster cutdowns occur.

  • Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: Officially has groin injury

    Gonzalez suffered a groin injury during Friday's preseason contest against the Bills, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

    The injury didn't happen on the field, but instead on the sideline as Gonzalez readied himself for a potential field goal or extra point in the third quarter. After taking a practice kick into the net, he went to the ground and eventually was carted to the locker room. While Gonzalez was deemed questionable to return, the Panthers soon may have to hold tryouts if the issue is considered a serious one.

  • Panthers' Zane Gonzalez: Needs cart to go to locker room

    Gonzalez (leg) was carted to the locker room during Friday's preseason game versus the Bills, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    According to Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site, Gonzalez went down after attempting a practice kick on the sideline as the team's offense entered the red zone. Gonzalez was steady for Carolina last season, making 20 of 22 field-goal attempts and 22 of 23 point-after tries in 12 appearances. It remains to be seen if the Panthers will be required to bring in a reinforcement at placekicker.
