Sanders made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Patriots.

Sanders converted from 48 yards on his lone field-goal opportunity, which helped the Dolphins squeak out a narrow road victory. After tying for fourth in points among kickers last season, Sanders will aim to continue his momentum in Week 2 versus the Bills.

Myers did not attempt a field goal but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

Myers was restricted to PAT duties but was successful every time he was called upon. The veteran will hope to maintain his perfect record while getting some field-goal opportunities in Week 2 versus the Titans.

Gonzalez was signed by Carolina off Detroit's practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The Panthers will make a change at kicker following their Week 1 win over the Jets, bringing in Gonzalez to replace Ryan Santoso, who was waived after missing an extra-point attempt in the victory. Though he lost out in a job battle with Austin Seibert in the preseason for the Lions' kicking job, Gonzalez was one of the more experienced options available for Carolina to add to the roster. The 26-year-old has seen NFL action in each of the past five seasons with either the Cardinals or Browns, converting field goals at a 78 percent clip and maintaining a 94.6 percent success rate on extra-point attempts for his career.

Tucker connected on both of his field goals and all three of his extra points during Monday's 33-27 loss to the Raiders.

Both of Tucker's field goals came in the second half and were from 40-plus yards. The first kick was a 40-yard attempt that extended the Ravens lead to 17-10 in the third quarter, and the second was a 47-yard strike that gave the Ravens a 27-24 lead with 37 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Tucker has made more than 89 percent of his field-goal attempts in five consecutive seasons and remains one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL.

Carlson made both of his field goals and all three of extra points during Monday's 33-27 win over the Ravens.

Carlson ended the first half with a smooth 34-yard field goal that cut the Ravens' halftime lead to 14-10. After the Ravens took a 27-24 lead with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, Derek Carr made a few solid throws to give Carlson a chance from 55 yards to send the game into overtime. Carlson stepped up and confidently sent one through the uprights. The 26-year-old has slowly transformed himself into a reliable kicker from all distances and is poised for another solid year in Las Vegas.

Elliott made his lone field-goal try and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.

The Eagles had so much success against the Falcons that there was no need to go for three until the end of the game. With just over two minutes left in the contest, Elliott finally got his chance and punched a 43-yarder through the uprights. Despite seeing just one opportunity, it's a good start, as the Memphis product looks to rebound from a bland 2020, his worst of four seasons as a pro.

Folk reverted back to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

Folk served as the team's kicker in Week 1 against the Dolphins, and he converted all of his field-goal attempts in addition to an extra point. He is likely to be promoted back to the active roster for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Jets, though Quinn Nordin could also factor into the kicking game.

Butker was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points during Sunday's 33-29 win against the Browns.

Butker didn't get much work in the first half as the Chiefs mustered just 10 points by intermission. Patrick Mahomes and company picked up the pace after halftime, though, and Butker ended up finishing Week 1 with a respectable nine points. Butker nailed a relative chip shot from 28 yards out for Kansas City's first three points of the season and later added a 43-yarder, which was a good sign after he was just 3-for-5 from 40-49 yards a year ago. He'll look for another productive performance Sunday night in a vaunted road matchup with the Ravens.

Hopkins made three of his four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Chargers.

Hopkins accounted for Washington's first nine points of the season, converting field goals from 30, 43 and 48 yards. His only miss come on a 51-yard attempt, which he pushed wide left. It was a solid start to the season for Hopkins, as he managed to make only 15 of his 21 field-goal attempts from 40 yards or more in 2020.

Slye reverted back to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Slye connected on all three of his field goals and all four of his extra points during Sunday's 37-21 win over Jacksonville. With href="https://www.rotowire.com/football/player.php?id=11031">Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) on IR for at least three weeks, Slye will likely be flipped back to the active roster ahead of Week 2.
