McManus made three of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Monday night's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.

McManus converted from 30, 40 and 26 yards prior to missing a potential game-winning kick from 64 yards on Denver's last drive. Despite that miss, his 10 total points still made it a pretty productive start to the campaign.

Hopkins made one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.

Hopkins converted from 43 yards to cap the Chargers' opening drive of the season. He subsequently missed a 49-yarder wide left in the second half, but Los Angeles still held onto its victory. Next up for Hopkins is a quick turnaround, as he'll face the Chiefs on Thursday night in Week 2.

Prater did not attempt a field goal but made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Chiefs.

Prater did all that was required of him, but his lack of opportunities resulted in an underwhelming output. He'll hope for more scoring chances in Week 2 versus the Raiders.

Patterson made three of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Commanders.

Patterson converted from 33, 43 and 45 yards but hit the right upright with a 37-yard field goal before halftime. Still, with 10 points on the day, it was a mostly productive season debut for the second-year kicker.

Elliott made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Lions.

Elliott converted from 23 yards on his lone field goal, helping him rack up eight points to kick off the campaign. The veteran has now put together six straight regular-season outings with at least eight points dating back to last year.

Bass made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Week 1's 31-10 win over the Rams.

Bass converted from 41 yards on his lone field goal, helping him total seven points to begin the campaign. As the kicker for one of the league's better offenses, Bass should have plenty of scoring opportunities this season.

Carlson buried both of his field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Chargers.

Carlson's seven-point Week 1 performance was highlighted by a 55-yard field goal conversion late in the third quarter, improving to 11 of 12 on 50-plus yard attempts since the start of the 2020 season. The Raiders are now slated to host the Cardinals in a Week 2 matchup that could have the highest game total on the Sunday slate.

Tucker converted a 24-yard field goal attempt along with all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Jets.

Coming off a contract extension, Tucker was automatic as usual in Sunday's season opener. He only had one field-goal attempt as Baltimore's offense was efficient in converting drives into touchdowns, but he knocked in every opportunity nonetheless. Baltimore returns home in Week 2 to host the Dolphins.

Maher reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Maher was limited to just one field-goal attempt after being elevated from Dallas' practice squad ahead of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old will be available for two more such elevations before the team is forced to sign him to the active roster moving forward this season.

Butker (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant on Kansas City's injury report Monday, though the team did not formally practice, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

Butker had to be carted off the field after he suffered an ankle injury on a kickoff during Sunday's season-opening win against the Cardinals. The 27-year-old was able to return for a successful 54-yard field-goal attempt just before the end of the first half, so it appears that this issue did not limit his overall kicking capabilities. If he is available heading into the team's Thursday night matchup against the Chargers, then Butker should reprise placekicking duties while likely either splitting or relinquishing kickoffs to safety Justin Reid, who stepped in as the team's emergency kicker while Butker was sidelined Sunday.
