  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Makes all five kicks vs. Detroit

    Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Reichard drilled a 50-yard field goal late in the second quarter before adding a 20-yard chip shot in the fourth frame. The second-year kicker has connected on six field goals from 50-plus yards, which is tied for second most in the NFL behind Chase McLaughlin (eight). Reichard is 16-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 16-for-16 on extra-point tries through eight regular-season games.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Inactive again in Week 9

    Havrisik (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    The Packers listed Brandon McManus as questionable for a second week in a row, but he again will be able to play through his lingering right quad injury. Havrisik thus will don street clothes Sunday, and his time on Green Bay's roster could be coming to a close whenever McManus is able to ditch the injury entirely.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Suiting up Sunday

    McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus managed a pair of full practices during Week 9 prep for the first time since he tweaked his right quad coming out of the Packers' Week 5 bye, but the team still listed him as questionable for Sunday's contest. Now that his status has been confirmed, he'll look to build upon the nine field goals (on 13 attempts) and 14 extra points (on 15 tries) that he's netted in five appearances this season, while Lucas Havrisik (coach's decision) again will be inactive.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Commanders' Matt Gay: Clear for Week 9

    Gay (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Gay didn't practice last Saturday due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright filled in for Gay and connected on his only kick (a PAT), but the former reverted to the practice squad Tuesday and was promptly cut, signaling that Gay was set to return to action Week 9. After progressing from no activity Wednesday to limited Thursday and then full Friday, Gay has done just that and will resume placekicking duties for the Commanders on Sunday.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Questionable for Week 9

    McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    After opening Week 9 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, McManus ended it with back-to-back full sessions, but the Packers will wait to make a decision on who will kick Sunday until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. McManus returned from a two-game absence due to a right quad injury this past Sunday in Pittsburgh, but the results were uneven (2-for-4 FGAs, 3-for-3 PATs). Green Bay continues to carry two placekickers on the active roster (also, Lucas Havrisik), so whoever isn't on the inactive list between the two Sunday morning will be kicking in the afternoon.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Ready for Week 9

    Prater (right calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

    The 41-year-old logged three consecutive limited sessions during the Bills' week of practice due to a calf injury, but it now appears that he'll play through the issue in Week 9. Expect Prater to serve as the Bills' top placekicker Sunday.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes two FGAs in loss

    Patterson went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Thursday's 28-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Patterson finished off Miami's first possession of the game with a 49-yard field goal make. He missed a 35-yard try wide right later in the first quarter before adding a 43-yarder before the break. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in four consecutive contests and five of the last six games overall. On the season, Patterson has gone 13-for-15 on field-goal tries and made all 19 of his PATs over nine games.

  • Tyler Loop K | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Loop: No FGAs in win

    Loop did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Thursday's 28-6 win over the Dolphins.

    Loop went without a field goal for the first time in his rookie campaign, ultimately being limited by Baltimore's ability to finish off drives with touchdowns. The kicker has now gone 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 22 of 23 PATs over eight games this year.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Commanders' Matt Gay: Gets back to limited Thursday

    Gay (back) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Gay missed the final session of Week 8 prep due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright stepped in for Gay and made his only kick (a PAT), but the latter's return to practice three days later is a sign of progress for the seventh-year pro. Gay's listing on Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Gets back to full Thursday

    McManus (right quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday.

    This marks McManus' first uncapped practice since he tweaked his right quad during the first practice of Week 6 prep. After missing two games due to the injury, he returned this past Sunday at Pittsburgh and connected on two of four field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries. The Packers now have two healthy placekickers on the active roster in McManus and Lucas Havrisik, but with McManus in the clear, he'll operate as the team's top option Sunday against the Panthers.
