    Patriots' Nick Folk: Active for Sunday's game

    Folk (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Folk continues to manage a left knee issue, but it hasn't cost him any game action thus far this season. Through five contests to date, the veteran kicker has made 14 of his 15 field-goal tries, en route to scoring 48 points in that span.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Retains kicking job

    Wright will serve as the Jaguars' kicker Sunday against the Dolphins in London with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Mia O'Brien of First Coast News Jacksonville reports.

    For the second straight week, Wright has won out in the competition for kicking duties with Lambo, who has been forced to battle for his job since his Week 4 absence due to a personal matter. Though he converted on only one of two extra-point tries and hit the crossbar and missed on a 53-yard attempt in last week's loss to the Titans, Wright could build up some more job security with a stronger showing in London.

  • Jaguars' Matthew Wright: Signs on with Jacksonville

    Wright signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    It sure seems like Josh Lambo's tenure with the team could be coming to an end, and at least for the immediate future expect Wright to once again handle the primary kicking duties. Wright has attempted just one field goal over the last two weeks as a starter, but he's at least gone 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts over that stretch.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Placed on IR

    Blankenship (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Blankenship had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 matchup due to a hip injury that he sustained last week, but he'll be forced to miss at least three games. Michael Badgley was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses lone field-goal chance

    Elliott missed his only field-goal chance in Thursday's 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers but made both of his extra-point tries.

    Elliott had a chance to cut the deficit to 28-17 early in the fourth quarter but pushed the kick wide right. It was just his second miss of the year, but it was disappointing to see him get just one chance after he'd received five over the last two games and made all of them.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Listed as questionable

    Folk (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    With fellow kicker Quinn Nordin (abdomen) on IR, the Patriots would have to bring in outside help in short order should Folk's Week 6 status actually be in doubt. The veteran kicker has previously played through left-knee issues, so Folk should ultimately suit up Sunday, barring a setback.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Colts' Michael Badgley: Will fill in against Houston

    Badgley will be elevated from the practice squad Sunday against Houston to take the place of Rodrigo Blankenship (hip), JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    Badgley started the season with the Titans but was let go after a poor Week 1 performance in which he missed his lone field-goal attempt and one of two PAT tries. Despite his accuracy issues, Badgley has some upside in this favorable matchup for the Colts offense. If he proves serviceable, Badgley could see more opportunities in the event Blankenship's absence stretches beyond Week 6.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Ruled out for Week 6

    Blankenship (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    With Blankenship unavailable this weekend, fellow kicker Michael Badgley is slated to be promoted from the Colts' practice squad to the team's active roster in advance of Sunday's contest.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: Gets back to full practice

    Gay (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Gay was a limited participant in the Rams' first practice session of the week due to an ankle issue. However, he is now in line to continue in his regular duties as the team's kicker for a Week 6 matchup against the Giants. Through five games this season, Gay has made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts and and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Still absent Thursday

    Blankenship (hip) was unavailable for Thursday's practice.

    The kicker was a non-participant at practice for the second consecutive day after he suffered a hip injury Monday night against the Ravens. The Colts added kicker Michael Badgley to their practice squad on Wednesday in case Blankenship is unable to go Sunday versus the Texans.
