    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Day-to-day with injury

    Elliott is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Elliott turned in a strong performance during last Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers, in which he converted all three of his field-goal attempts, but he appears to have since picked up an ankle injury at practice. The Eagles could need to bring in another kicker to handle reps while Elliott recovers.

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Looks set as starter

    Joseph looks set to begin the season as Minnesota's placekicker after Riley Patterson was waived/injured by the Vikings on Monday.

    It's possible the Vikings could sign another kicker before the regular season, but for now, Joseph is the clear starter after converting both field-goal attempts in Saturday's preseason game.

    Brett Maher: Waived/injured by Saints

    Maher (groin) was waived/injured by the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football

    Maher was brought in to replace Wil Lutz (abdomen) until his expected return in October. However, he suffered a groin injury that has now resulted in him being let go. Should he go unclaimed on waivers, he will revert back to the team's injured reserve.

  • Riley Patterson: Let go by Minnesota

    Patterson (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Vikings on Monday.

    Patterson opened training camp on the PUP list before being activated in early August, and it's unclear if he aggravated that injury or if he's dealing with a new issue. Regardless, Greg Joseph is now the lone kicker on Minnesota's roster.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Back on active roster

    The Raiders activated Carlson (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Considering Carlson has resided on the list since Aug. 1, he likely tested positive for the virus, but the team isn't obligated to reveal as much. In any case, he's back and is now the only kicker on the roster after Dominik Eberle was waived Monday.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Makes all four FGAs

    Fairbairn was successful on all four of his field-goal attempts in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in Preseason Week 1.

    Fairbairn connected from 37, 25, 41 and 42 yards in the win, as the offense failed to finish off multiple drives. That could be a harbinger of the regular season for an offense that features several new pieces under a new head coach. The four three-pointers in one game resembles the 2018 season, when Fairbairn led the NFL with 42 field-goal attempts and 150 points.

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes both field goals

    Joseph made both of his field-goal attempts, from 34 and 25 yards, in Saturday's preseason loss to Denver.

    The Vikings let Joseph handle kicking duties in the preseason opener. Riley Patterson is likely to handle duties in the second preseason game as the two battle for the starting job. Joseph is viewed as the favorite and held serve Saturday.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes three long kicks

    Elliott made all three of his field-goal tries in Thursday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Steelers.

    Elliott made more kicks of over 45 yards in this one than he did all of last season. After struggling last year in a dysfunctional offense that resulted in career-low opportunities as well as percentage of field goals made, he has rebounded with a nice camp so far, according to Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site. The 26-year-old continued to build on that Thursday.

  • Cowboys' Greg Zuerlein: Has successful pregame workout

    Zuerlein (back) said Friday he expects to be "100 percent on all cylinders" for Week 1 of the regular season at Tampa Bay, The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Zuerlein increased his workload this week, with individual kicking drills away from the field translating to kicks at Wednesday's practice. He then had a "smooth" workout prior to Friday's preseason game in Arizona. Offseason back surgery delayed Zuerlein's introduction to training camp, but the lack of another full-time kicker on the roster implies the Cowboys' commitment to the 10th-year pro.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes preseason debut

    Boswell converted on his lone extra-point try in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.

    Boswell didn't see the field in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys, while Samuel Sloman converted on one of his two field-goal attempts during the contest. The 30-year-old took the field for an extra-point try in the first half Thursday, but Sloman saw work in the second half and made his lone field-goal attempt while also drilling a pair of extra-point tries. The two should continue to compete for kicking duties during the preseason, but Boswell has six years of experience in the league and made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts last year.
