  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Limited at practice Wednesday

    McPherson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session due to a groin injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    McPherson made all six of his kicks in Sunday's win over the Chiefs to help Cincinnati clinch the AFC North crown, but he apparently sustained a groin injury during the contest. If he hopes to avoid taking a designation into the Bengals' Week 18 game in Cleveland, he'll likely need to practice fully Thursday or Friday.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Makes two field goals

    McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts, while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

    McManus accounted for seven of the Broncos' 13 points Sunday, as the team's offense struggled to keep up with the Chargers. The veteran kicker made field goals from 23 and 61 yards. His 61-yard field goal set a new career-high. McManus was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, so he will look to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol ahead of a Week 18 matchup with the Chiefs. If he isn't cleared in time, Denver will have to sign a kicker as his replacement in the regular season finale.

  • Chargers' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in win

    Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Broncos.

    Hopkins returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list to convert from 19 and 23 yards on his field goals. With the help of four extra points as well, Hopkins secured his sixth double-digit scoring performance of the campaign. Overall, the veteran now sports 124 points heading into the final game of the regular season.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Matches season high

    Prater made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Cowboys.

    Prater tied his season high in points by converting field goals from 24, 53, 26 and 38 yards. In doing so, he not only rebounded from missing three kicks in Week 16, but Prater also helped Arizona clinch a three-point win. The veteran now sports 125 points heading into the final game of the season, placing in the top 10 at his position league-wide.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Low total in flukey game

    Bass made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 29-15 win over the Falcons. He did not have a field-goal attempt.

    The scoring got a bit crooked when the Falcons picked up a safety to open the scoring, which caused the Bills to go for two at one point when it made sense to do so. Couple that with Buffalo's red-zone success in the contest and Bass was used only slightly more than punter Matt Haack, who somehow hasn't had a single punt in the last two games. Bass, who sits in a tie for seventh in kicker scoring following Week 17, gets a great matchup to finish the regular season, with the Bills hosting the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

  • Blake Haubeil: Cut from practice squad

    The Panthers have released Haubeil from their practice squad, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Haubeil's release from Carolina's practice unit comes less than a week after he was added. He received the opportunity after getting waived by the Titans during training camp. He is now set to look for a new opportunity.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Late field goal not enough

    Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

    Butker had multiple made field goals in seven straight games prior to his absence last week after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It was a disappointing return to action for Butker, whose game-tying kick late in the fourth quarter wasn't enough to keep the Bengals from picking up the win. He will aim to finish out the regular season strong this week against the Broncos.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect in Week 17

    Boswell made all four of his field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries in Monday's 26-14 win over the Browns.

    Boswell had missed a field-goal attempt in each of the last three games, but he bounced back in Monday's primetime matchup. He made a 22-yarder in the first half before making three field goals in the second half to help propel the Steelers to the victory. Across his 10 appearances since Pittsburgh's Week 7 bye, the 30-year-old has made 22 of 25 field-goal attempts while converting 14 of 16 extra-point tries.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Busy day Sunday

    Tucker went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts Sunday against the Rams and converted his lone extra-point attempt.

    After Tucker had zero field-goal attempts for the first time all season in Week 16, the Ravens relied on him to provide the scoring against the Rams. He made all four of his tries, including two from beyond 40 yards. Tucker checks in as the No.4 kicker in terms of fantasy production and is third in the league in made field goals with 33. The Ravens finish their regular season at home Sunday against the Steelers.

  • Browns' Chase McLaughlin: Converts two extra points

    McLaughlin successfully converted two extra-point kicks and did not have a field-goal attempt in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Steelers.

    McLaughlin returned to action after missing a week while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. While he managed to avoid a missed kick for the first time in five games, McLaughlin is on thin ice entering the offseason. There have been too many missed kicks for a team whose offense has averaged just 16.9 points per game since Week 5.
