Vikings' Will Reichard: Stays perfect
Reichard made both all four extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.
Reichard has yet to miss during his rookie campaign and added 35- and 58-yard field makes to his resume in Week 3. The rookie is now 5-for-5 on FGAs and 10-for-10 on PATs this season. He and the Vikings will head to Green Bay for Week 4.

Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses lone field goal
Elliott made his only extra-point attempt, but he missed a field-goal try in the Eagles' 15-12 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Elliott's miss came from 60 yards out and was wide right. At the time the Eagles were trailing 7-6 in the fourth quarter. It was the Memphis product's first miss of the season, and he's now 4-for-5 on FGAs for the season. Next up for Elliott and Philadelphia is a Week 4 matchup with the Buccaneers.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Active versus 49ers
Karty (groin) is listed as active Sunday's game against the 49ers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Karty approached the contest listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice Friday. He'll be available Sunday, but the 0-2 Rams' kicker will be working behind a short-handed offense that is minus its top two wide receivers, Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee).

Colts' Matt Gay: Ready for Week 3
Gay (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Bears.
After sitting out Week 1 due to still being in recovery mode from sports hernia surgery, Gay made his season debut this past Sunday in Green Bay, making his only point-after try but just one of two field-goal attempts. He then sat out Wednesday's practice with a quad injury, only to cap the week with back-to-back full sessions. Gay thus is set to play versus a Chicago team that sits in a tie for sixth in the NFL in terms of points against at 18.0 per game.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Questionable with groin injury
Karty (groin) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
If Karty is unable to play through his groin injury, Tanner Brown would take over kicking duties for Los Angeles. Scoring opportunities could be hard to come by Sunday for a Rams offense without its top two wide receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) against San Francisco's stout defense.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another low-volume game
Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.
Zuerlein contributed only one of the NFL-record 73 field goals made in Week 2, and he converted just one yet again Thursday. The Jets have been efficient when they get into scoring range early this season, with nine touchdowns compared to only three field-goal attempts, and Zuerlein shanked a 45-yard attempt late in the first half Thursday before bouncing back with a 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Still not practicing
Karty (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
With back-to-back absences to open Week 3 prep, Karty is trending in the wrong direction to be available for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The Rams could signal whether or not Karty has a chance to play this weekend on its final injury report of the week Friday or by elevating Tanner Brown from the practice squad Saturday. In the end, one of Karty or Brown will be L.A.'s placekicker for Week 3.

Colts' Matt Gay: Should be good to go Sunday
Gay (quadriceps) was a full participant during practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Gay didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday is an encouraging sign that suggests he'll be handling kicking duties for the Colts on Sunday against the Bears. After missing the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans, Gay returned to action for the Week 2 loss to the Packers and knocked down his lone extra-point try and one of two field-goal attempts.

Colts' Matt Gay: Kicking at Thursday's practice
Gay (quadriceps) is handling kicking duties at practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Gay couldn't practice Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field Thursday. The veteran kicker missed Week 1 due to offseason sports hernia surgery and is now nursing a new quad issue, but he looks to be making good progress ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears. The Colts also have kicker Spencer Shrader on the practice squad.

Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Misses first PAT of his career
Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Panthers.
Dicker missed the first point-after attempt of his NFL career after the Chargers' opening-drive touchdown. He was perfect afterward though, making field goals from 46 and 42 yards out, while also making the PATs on the team's other two touchdowns.
