  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Awarded for phenomenal play

    Koo has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Koo went a perfect 10-for-10 on field-goal tries and 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts over three November appearances. The 26-year-old has posted a sterling 96.7 percent overall conversion rate on field goals this season, while his 109 points represent an NFL high. Koo was limited during Wednesday's practice because of a quadriceps injury, but a full session Thursday shows he should be in the clear for a Week 13 matchup against the Saints.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Listed as questionable again

    Folk (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Folk carried a questionable tag into each of the last four games. He was active in each contest, connecting on all eight field-goal attempts and nine of 10 extra-point tries. Folk should be ready for Sunday's game and is a solid fantasy option against the Chargers' underwhelming defense.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Back at practice Friday

    McManus (personal) returned to practice as expected Friday, Troy Renck of ABC Denver7 reports.

    McManus missed Thursday's practice with an excused personal absence but was back in the fold Friday. He should be all systems go for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: No field-goal attempts

    Tucker converted both of his extra-point tries during Wednesday's 19-14 loss to the Steelers.

    The Ravens were forced to hone in on touchdown opportunities due to Wednesday's unusual gamescript, leading to Tucker's first game of the season without a field-goal try. The usual stalwart will look to get back on track versus the Cowboys on Tuesday.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Away from team

    McManus was away from the team Thursday with an excused absence for personal reasons, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    As Kils points out, McManus is expected to rejoin the team Friday ahead of its game Sunday against the Chiefs, so the kicker isn't in jeopardy of missing action. McManus connected on a career-long 58-yard field goal in last Sunday's loss to New Orleans, and with Drew Lock officially activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list, he could have more opportunities to score points in Week 13.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: No limitations in practice

    Koo (quadriceps) turned in a full practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Koo was a limited participant Wednesday while he nursed a right quad injury, but his ability to take every rep in practice a day later puts him on track to retain kicking duties for the Falcons in Sunday's game versus the Saints. The 26-year-old has actually been more accurate on field-goal attempts than extra-point tries this season, going 29 for 30 and 22 for 25 in those respective situations.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two field goals Wednesday

    Boswell converted on both of his field-goal attempts while missing his only extra-point try in Wednesday's 19-14 win over the Ravens.

    Boswell's day got off to a slow start as he missed an extra-point try in the first quarter of Wednesday's game, but he converted on a pair of short field goals later in the contest. The 29-year-old has now converted on 94.7 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he's only made 88.6 percent of his extra-point tries this year. He'll face a slightly more favorable matchup against Washington next week.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Back on injury report

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

    Folk has followed a limited practice regimen with the back issue every week since Week 9 before suiting up, so this week appears no different. Folk played hero in last week's win over the Cardinals, drilling the game-winning kick, along with nailing another field goal and both extra-point tries. Expect the veteran kicker to be on the field again for Sunday's clash with the Chargers.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYG

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Limited with quad injury

    Koo (quadriceps) was limited in practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Koo's right quad is a little sore after he converted all nine of his kicks in last week's 43-6 drubbing of the Raiders. Unless his practice participation declines as the week unfolds, Koo should be able to suit up when the Saints come to town Sunday.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: One field goal in loss

    Elliott made his lone field-goal try but missed his only extra-point opportunity in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Elliott missed the extra-point after the Eagles' first touchdown of the day at the end of the first half. It didn't faze him coming out of the locker room, however, as he converted a 42-yarder midway through the third quarter. The Memphis product has attempted more than one field goal just once since Week 3.
