Maher converted his lone field-goal attempt but went two-of-three on PATs during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.

In making his Saints debut, Maher's missed extra point blemished a modest performance that included a field goal of just 28 yards. If Alvin Kamara (knee) remains sidelined in Week 12, it wouldn't be wise to see if a Trevor Siemian-led offense will present Maher with more opportunities against Buffalo's top-ranked defense.

Santos missed his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

After scoring 19 points over his last two games, Santos has also recorded three points or fewer three times over five games, making him one of the more volatile kickers in the league.

Patterson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Cleveland.

The Lions placed Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve prior to Week 10, when Ryan Santoso ended up handling placekicking duties for last Sunday's tie at Pittsburgh. On Tuesday, Detroit signed Patterson off the practice squad to compete with Santoso, but the latter will be the team's kicker yet again Week 11.

Koo missed his only field-goal attempt during Thursday's 25-0 loss to the Patriots.

After the Patriots scored a touchdown to take a 10-0 lead at the start of the second quarter, the Falcons marched into field-goal range thanks to a 14-play drive. Koo connected on the 45-yard attempt, but it was nullified by a holding call. On the ensuing 50-yarder, Koo's kick narrowly missed the upright as it curved wide left. The 27-year-old has only missed two kicks this season, both of which were over 40 yards. Koo will likely remain one of the more consistent kickers in the league, but his fantasy value continues to be hampered by the Falcons' sporadic offense.

The Saints signed Maher off their practice squad Friday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

New Orleans waived Brian Johnson in a corresponding move, clearing the way for Maher to take over as the team's kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Philadelphia. It's the 31-year-old Maher's second stint on the roster in 2021, as he previously competed for the kicking job in the preseason before being waived in late August on an injury settlement. Over 29 career regular-season games -- all with Dallas -- Maher has converted at a subpar 74.2 percent clip on field-goal attempts, though he has 63- and 62-yard makes on his resume.

Folk made all four of his field-goal attempts (including a 53-yarder) en route to 13 points in Thursday's 25-0 win over the Falcons.

Though he missed one of his two extra-point tries Thursday, Folk was able to match his season high for points in the contest. The veteran kicker has been managing a left knee injury of late, but there's no reason to think his Week 12 status is in any danger, even if he continues to be limited at practice.

Folk (knee) is active for Thursday's matchup against the Falcons.

Folk has been on the injury report regularly with a knee issue, but he has yet to miss a game this season. He's connected for multiple field goals in six contests the campaign, including three makes of more than 50 yards.

The Cowboys activated Zuerlein from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Zuerlein missed last week's win over the Falcons following a positive test for the virus, but the veteran kicker has since cleared all health and safety protocols and is back in the fold ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City. Lirim Hajrullahu was summoned to serve as Dallas' placekicker in last week's win over the Falcons, but he's since reverted to the team's practice squad.

Gano (illness) wasn't included on New York's initial Week 11 practice report and is on track to play Monday in Tampa Bay, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Gano wasn't present for the Giants' informal practice session Wednesday due to a stomach bug, but he apparently was able to make a full recovery 24 hours later. Through nine games, Gano has made a strong case for receiving his second Pro Bowl nod. He's converted 19 of 21 field-goal attempts -- including a 5-for-6 mark from 50-plus yards -- while drilling all 12 of his extra-point tries.

Folk (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Falcons.

Folk has managed a left knee issue since Week 3, but the injury has yet to keep him out of a game. The injury hasn't hindered him from a performance standpoint either, as the 37-year-old has converted on 22 of 24 field-goal tries and 25 of 28 extra-point attempts through 10 games.
