Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and added one extra point in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.

Elliott has put away three of his four field-goal tries this season. His only miss has come from over 50 yards. The Memphis product will likely see more opportunities in Week 3 against the Bengals.

Koo went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.

One week after Koo converted on his third onside kick attempt in as many tries, Dallas' Greg Zuerlein executed a successful onsider of his own, kick-rolling a ball slowly to the 10-yard threshold and enabling C.J. Goodwin to pounce on the loose ball as soon as he became eligible to do so. Koo wasn't granted the opportunity to execute any special-teams miracles during the Week 2 loss, though he was flawless on his seven combined field goal and PATs. He is now 29-for-32 on field-goal tries in his Falcons career, heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Bears.

Santos connected on one of two field-goal attempts in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

After posting an impressive nine points in the season opener, the missed field goal by Santos resulted in him posting a disappointing fantasy performance. It's possible next week could be his last game with the Bears if Eddy Pineiro (groin) is activated from injured reserve.

McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans but made both his PAT attempts.

McManus didn't get many opportunities, as the Denver offense often failed to move the ball and got into the end zone both times that it got rolling. With a road date against the stingy Steelers defense on tap in Week 2, McManus' kicking opportunities likely will remain limited.

The Bears will sign Santos to their 53-man roster Wednesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After Eddy Pineiro (groin) was placed on injured reserve Sept. 8, Santos was elevated from the practice squad a few days later to serve as the Bears' kicker Week 1. He got the job done in Chicago's 27-23 win over the Lions, converting on field goals of 35 and 28 yards while nailing all three of his extra-point attempts. Barring a disastrous performance Week 2 versus the Giants, Santos should remain Chicago's kicker for at least two more games before the Bears decide whether to proceed with him or Pineiro (if healthy) beyond Week 3.

Gano made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

Gano converted from 21 yards to begin the game, giving the Giants their first three points of the season. The veteran was only called upon once after, however, as New York struggled with consistency offensively. Gano will hope to be more involved in Week 2 versus the Bears.

Folk was officially added to the Patriots' 53-man roster Tuesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

He was promoted from the practice squad for the team's opener and although Folk missed his lone field-goal attempt, a 45-yarder, in Week 1's win over the Dolphins, the team is satisfied with the veteran kicker and will retain him on the active roster. Rookie fifth-rounder Justin Rohrwasser is still on the practice squad in case Folk slips up, but moving forward, Folk will be the Patriots' kicker.

Gay signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Gay spent the 2019 season with the Buccaneers and hit 77 percent of his field goals, but he lost the job to Ryan Succop to begin the season. This looks to be the start of a kicker competition in Indianapolis, as rookie Rodrigo Blankenship missed a 30-yard field goal in Week 1.

Santos reverted to the Bears' practice squad.

Santos was impressive in Week 1, as he connected on two field goals -- both from fewer than 40 yards -- and all three extra-point attempts. With Eddy Pineiro (groin) set to miss the next two games, Santos will be elevated ahead of Week 2's matchup against the Giants.

Boswell made both his field-goal attempts but missed one of three extra-point attempts in Monday night's 26-16 win over the Giants.

Coming off a solid 2019 season in which he converted 29 of 31 field goals and all 28 PATs, Boswell looked good for the most part. He converted field goals from 36 and 41 yards but missed his first extra point attempt of the game. He should have many more scoring opportunities given the strength of Pittsburgh's offense.
