    Patriots' Nick Folk: Questionable against Ravens

    Folk (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

    Folk has been limited in practice all week. He played through this same injury last week against the Jets and showed no ill effects, nailing all three of his field-goal attempts, including the game-winning 51-yarder on the game's final play. Assuming he hasn't suffered any setbacks, Folk is more likely than not to suit up.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Questionable with groin injury

    Hopkins (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

    Coach Ron Rivera has stated that Hopkins will need to resume kicking either Friday or Saturday in order to have a chance at suiting up against the Lions, so a final word on the veteran's status could come down to the wire. Rivera expects him to be a game-time decision, per Stackpole. Expect Kaare Vedvik to start in Detroit if Hopkins isn't cleared to play.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Limited again Thursday

    Hopkins (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Coach Ron Rivera relayed that Hopkins will need to resume kicking either Friday or Saturday in order to suit up for Sunday's game in Detroit, per Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site, saying "we'll see" about his availability. Rivera added that Kaare Vedvik has performed well in practices. Vedvik was a practice squad protection this week, as Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports, and he would likely be called upon to kick against the Lions if Hopkins can't go.

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Limited participant Wednesday

    Folk (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Folk's back injury surfaced last week, but the veteran kicker was able to play in Monday's win over the Jets. He showed no ill effects, connecting on all three field-goal attempts -- including a 51-yard game-winner -- and adding three extra points. He should be ready to go by the time Sunday's game against the Ravens arrives.

  • Football Team's Dustin Hopkins: Dealing with groin injury

    Hopkins was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Hopkins was perfect during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants, converting both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. However, he appears to have picked up a groin issue in the contest. If Washington determines Hopkins' status for a Week 10 matchup with Detroit to be in jeopardy, the team will likely promote Kaare Vedvik from the practice squad.

  • Jaguars' Chase McLaughlin: Waiting to clear testing protocols

    McLaughlin isn't expected to join the Jaguars for workouts until Saturday while he waits to clear COVID-19 testing and screening protocols, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Jacksonville signed McLaughlin to its roster Tuesday, but because he's arriving from a different organization (Minnesota), he won't be permitted to take part in team activities for a few days. McLaughlin thus will miss each of the Jaguars' three practices this week, but assuming he arrives in Green Bay this weekend and clears the necessary protocols, he should serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Packers. Punter Logan Cooke will practice placekicking and kickoffs this week in the event McLaughlin is unable to gain clearance for Sunday.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Hits double digits

    Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over Washington.

    Gano converted from 38, 48 and 42 yards on his respective field goals, which helped him accumulate his second-highest point total of the campaign. Through nine games, he now sports 70 points and has missed merely one of 33 total attempts.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Notches nine points

    McManus made both of his field-goal attempts as well as all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    McManus converted from 43 and 41 yards on his two field goals, which helped bring his season tally to 64 points through eight games. At the moment, McManus has made 16 of 17 attempts on both field goals and extra points, bringing great consistency to Denver's kicking game.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Makes all four kicks

    Tucker converted his only field-goal attempt as well as all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

    Tucker split the uprights with a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter, bringing his season tally to 71 points through eight games. The star kicker has missed just one of 42 total attempts this term, representing an elite model of consistency.

  • Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Misses potential game-tying kick

    Gonzalez made one of two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.

    Gonzalez converted from 37 yards on his first field goal but didn't have enough leg on a 49-yard attempt to tie the game just after the two-minute warning. That costly miss came after a turbulent outing in Arizona's game prior, so Gonzalez will undoubtedly aim for more consistency ahead of this Sunday's visit from the Bills.
