Castillo didn't attempt a field goal and made two of three PAT attempts in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

New York's offense came away with touchdowns when it got in close, limiting Castillo's impact. He missed a PAT, which forced New York to go for two after a subsequent touchdown to make up the lost point. Castillo will remain New York's kicker against Seattle in Week 14 with Sam Ficken (groin) still on IR.

Sanders converted all four of his field-goal tries and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals.

Sanders made the most of a messy game that saw five players ejected late, as he accounted for 13 of 19 points on offense for Miami. With 28 field goals through 12 contests, Sanders has already surpassed his previous career-high mark.

Santos made his only field-goal attempt while making three of four extra-point conversions in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Santos has failed to surpass seven points in any of his last four games, making him a risky lineup option during the fantasy playoffs.

Folk (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The veteran has received the questionable tag for each of the past four games, and he'll continue to play through the back issue. Folk is 19-for-21 on field-goal attempts and 20-for-22 on PATs through 11 games.

The Steelers are expected to elevate Wright from the practice squad to serve as their kicker Monday against Washington, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

A second-year pro out of Central Florida, Wright looks poised to make his NFL debut Week 13 after the Steelers downgraded top kicker Chris Boswell (hip) from questionable to doubtful for the contest. Wright's stint with the organization spans less than a week after he was signed to the practice squad Nov. 30, but he attended training camp with the Steelers in 2019. During his collegiate career, Wright converted 55 of 71 field-goal attempts (77.5 percent), with a long of 50 yards.

The Steelers downgraded Boswell (hip) from questionable to doubtful for Monday's game versus Washington.

Boswell wasn't added to the Steelers' injury report until Saturday, an indication the hip issue may have surfaced during the team's final practice of the week. In any case, Boswell is trending in the wrong direction as Monday's game approaches, and he looks poised to miss his first contest since the 2018 season. The Steelers are expected to promote Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their Week 13 kicker.

Boswell (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against Washington.

Boswell popped up on the injury report and was unable to practice Saturday after suffering a hip injury Friday. If Boswell is unable to play, expect Matthew Wright to be called up from the practice squad, though the Steelers have given no such indication the move could take place. Wright has not played in a game since he entered the league as an undrafted rookie in 2019.

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.

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.

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.
