Gano isn't practicing with the Giants on Wednesday due to an illness, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Joe Judge said Wednesday that Gano and linebacker Lorenzo Carter are both away from the team while battling stomach bugs, but thus far neither player has been placed on the COVID-19 list. The Giants will release their first official practice report of the week Thursday, so Gano's status will need to be monitored as Monday's matchup with the Buccaneers approaches.

Myers did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.

Myers and Seattle's offense were shut out for the first time this season, but to no fault of the kicker's own. The veteran, who sports merely 42 points this season, will hope for some kicking opportunities in Week 11 versus the Cardinals.

Bass made his only field-goal attempt as well as all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.

Bass converted from 29 yards on his lone field goal, which along with a bevy of PATs helped bring his season total to 86 points, placing second league-wide among kickers.

Tucker missed one of his two field-goal attempts but made his only extra-point try in the Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.

Tucker began by converting a 46-yard field goal but then had an uncharacteristic miss on Baltimore's next drive, sending a 48-yard effort wide right. That marked only his second misfire of the campaign. Tucker's 71 points through 10 games still places him within the top 10 at his position league-wide.

Prater made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Panthers.

Prater's opportunities were limited due to Arizona's offensive struggles without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle). The veteran converted from 47 yards on his field goal, helping bring his season tally to 77 points through 10 games.

Folk (knee) is listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report.

Folk has appeared on the injury report with the knee problem since Week 3. It has yet to keep him out of a game.

The Lions signed Patterson to their active roster off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday.

With Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, Ryan Santoso was promoted from the practice squad for Week 10, but he missed a PAT that would've likely ended the game in regulation, and he missed a potential game-winning 48-yard field goal in overtime. Santoso was released by the Lions on Tuesday, making room for Patterson to join the active roster. Patterson will likely operate as the primary place kicker in Week 11.

The Saints signed Maher to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Maher has yet to kick in a game this season, though he spent time with New Orleans during the preseason prior to suffering an injury. He could become the team's new kicker as early as Sunday's matchup against the Eagles after Brian Johnson missed two extra-point attempts in Week 10 against the Titans.

Hopkins converted on both his field-goal attempts along with both extra points in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.

Hopkins was able to drill a 46-yard field goal early in the second quarter while also making a chip-shot 24-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Unlike last week in which the veteran kicker missed an extra point, Hopkins made both of his extra-point attempts this go around, moving him to 16-of-19 on the year for extra points. The 31-year-old continues to benefit from his change of scenery to a more high-powered offense where he's had many more kicking opportunities.

Butker finished 2-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Raiders.

Butker's miss Sunday evening marked just his second of the season and his first from inside of 50 yards. On the positive side of things, the Chiefs' offense seems to be headed in the right direction again, giving Butker a season-high eight combined kicking attempts between field goals and extra points Sunday. With Dallas up next, the Chiefs will likely need to light up the scoreboard again in a battle of two high-powered offenses.
