Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Makes all three kicks Week 7
Slye went 2-for-2 on his field-goal attempts and made his lone point-after try during the Titans' 31-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Slye got the scoring started with a 49-yard field goal early in the first quarter, and he tacked on a 50-yarder near the end of the first half to give the Titans a 13-10 lead. He was unable to play in Week 6 against the Raiders due to a calf injury, but the veteran kicker progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. Slye has connected on 15 of 19 field-goal attempts and has gone 5-for-6 on extra-point tries through six regular-season games.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Misses another kick
Little missed his lone field-goal attempt and was successful on his only PAT during Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.
After missing a field goal and an extra point last week versus Seattle, Little again failed to convert a 50-yard field goal Sunday in London. The 2024 sixth-round pick missed just two kicks as a rookie last year but has struggled to find his footing in 2025, going 10-for-14 on field goals through seven games.

Lucas Havrisik K | GB
Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Kicking for McManus again
Havrisik will serve as the Packers' placekicker Sunday at Arizona with Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) inactive for the contest, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Havrisik is getting his second chance to supplement the Packers offense in as many weekends as McManus remains sidelined due a right quad injury. In last Sunday's win versus the Bengals, Havrisik connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Inactive again
McManus (right quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game in Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
McManus thus will miss his second contest in a row due to the right quadriceps that he tweaked at the beginning of Week 6 prep. In McManus' stead, Lucas Havrisik will fill again after striking true on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during last Sunday's win against the Bengals. McManus' next opportunity for game action is next Sunday's road matchup with the Steelers.

Jake Moody K | WAS
Bears' Jake Moody: Up again for Week 7
The Bears elevated Moody from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Moody thus will handle placekicking duties in place of Cairo Santos (thigh) for a second consecutive contest. In his first chance to kick in the NFL since the 49ers jettisoned him after Week 1, Moody connected on four of five field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Monday's 25-24 win at Washington.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Questionable for Week 7
McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
McManus didn't practice this week due to the right quad that he tweaked during last Wednesday's session and sidelined him this past Sunday against the Bengals, but Green Bay is keeping the door ajar for the 34-year-old to be available this weekend. Regarding that, McManus said Thursday, "Am I feeling better? Yes. And it's kind of a similar process of what we're game planning to try to get up to." The Packers have a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, and if McManus is included among the team's inactives about 90 minutes prior, Lucas Havrisik will handle placekicking duties for a second consecutive contest.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Cleared to face former team
Slye (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Slye was limited in all three of Tennessee's practices after sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Raiders, but he evidently looked healthy enough to avoid an injury designation. The Titans cut Matthew Wright on Friday after Wright filled in for Slye in Week 6, providing another indicator of the team's confidence in Slye's health. Slye's opportunities could be limited since the Titans are scoring only 13.8 points per game and the Patriots are allowing just 20.0 points per game.

Matthew Wright K | HOU
Matthew Wright: Dropped by Tennessee
Wright was cut from the Titans' practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
The UCF product was elevated to Tennessee's active roster for the Week 6 loss to the Raiders while Joey Slye (calf) was sidelined with an injury. Wright was perfect in the loss, converting on his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point tries. Although Slye has practiced in a limited fashion this week, the Titans' decision to drop Wright suggests Slye will likely return from injury in the Week 7 matchup against the Patriots.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Sitting second consecutive game
Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Santos will sit out a second consecutive game, with his next chance to return coming Week 8 in Baltimore. Jake Moody made four of five field-goal attempts, including the game-winning kick, while filling in for Santos in Monday's win at Washington. Moody will retain kicking duties versus New Orleans.

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes the most of opportunities
Boswell connected on his only field-goal attempt and on all four of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.
The kicker drilled a 41-yard field goal early in the second quarter that put the Steelers up 10-0. Boswell has now made 10 of 12 field goals and all 16 extra-point attempts in 2025. The veteran is a reliable option in fantasy football.
