Folk (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Folk has been tending to a back injury since early November, but he's still suited up for each of the Patriots' last seven contests, making all 14 field-goal attempts and 15 of 16 point-after tries. In New England's other matchup with Buffalo this season, he struck true on both FGAs and his sole extra-point try.

Pittsburgh elevated Wright to the active roster Saturday.

Chris Boswell has been ruled out ahead of Week 16 because of a groin injury, aligning the 24-year-old Wright for his second NFL appearance. The UCF product went 2-for-2 on extra points while converting his lone field-goal try of 37 yards during a Week 13 loss to Washington.

Boswell (groin) will not play Sunday against the Colts.

The fact Boswell was unable to practice Friday seemed to indicate this designation would occur. The Steelers called up Matthew Wright, who will step in as the team's starting kicker, from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Prater (back) is active for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

Prater sat out Wednesday's practice with his back injury before logging a limited session Thursday, but the two-time Pro Bowler is officially in the clear for Week 16. The 36-year-old remains without a game absence since 2014, though he's in the midst of a slumping 2020 campaign that's consisted of a 74.1 percent field-goal conversion rate over 27 attempts.

Lutz connected on all seven of his extra-point attempts and his lone field-goal attempt in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

The Saints' kicker attempted just one field goal, but the team's seven rushing touchdowns were fruitful for him, as he knocked in all seven extra points. Lutz gets Carolina in Week 17.

The Cardinals signed Maher to the practice squad Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Zane Gonzalez (back) is out for the rest of the regular season, and Mike Nugent has taken his place as the Cardinals' starting kicker in the meantime. Nugent has been perfect, hitting all five field-goal attempts and all six extra-point tries, so Maher is merely an emergency kicker option as the Cardinals make their playoff push. The 31-year-old played 13 games for Dallas last year, connecting on 20 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 36 extra-point tries.

Boswell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

The 29-year-old was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he was unable to participate at Friday's practice. The Steelers figure to promote Matthew Wright from the practice squad Saturday if Boswell's availability remains in question.

Folk (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Folk had been dealing with the back injury since early November, but he has yet to miss a game as a result. It makes sense to expect him to be good to go for Monday's contest against Buffalo, but his practice status over the next two days should provide more light on his status for that matchup.

Boswell was added to the Steelers' injury report Thursday as a limited participant at practice due to a groin issue, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

A mid-week addition to the injury report is never a great sign for any player, and the fact that Boswell is being listed with a lower-body issue is especially worrisome. Boswell will likely need to prove the groin injury presents no problem with his kicking accuracy and distance during Friday's practice, or else he'll likely carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, if he isn't ruled out ahead of the weekend. Pittsburgh would likely promote Matthew Wright from the practice squad if there's any concern Boswell won't be able to play Week 16.

Prater (back) did not practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Prater wasn't listed on Tuesday's injury report -- this was an estimation since Detroit didn't practice Tuesday -- but showed up with a back issue that kept him from practicing entirely Wednesday. The Lions play Tampa Bay on Saturday, so it would bode well for the placekicker's chances of taking part in that contest if he is able to return to practice Thursday.
