Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll reiterated Wednesday that Walsh will remain the team's kicker, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Walsh missed a 38-yard field goal in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, the third field goal inside 40 yards he has missed this season. Despite his inconsistency, Walsh will have a little bit of leash to turn things around, though Seattle's problematic salary-cap situation may be one of the main reasons the team hasn't explored other options at the position.

Hopkins (hip) returned to practice Wednesday and hopes to come off injured reserve before the end of the season, Stephen Czarda of the Redskins' official site reports.

Having already missed eight games, Hopkins is eligible to return from injured reserve as soon as Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The Redskins may want to give him a bit more time to practice, but it sounds as if Hopkins could put Nick Rose out of a job before the end of the season. Since signing with Washington, Rose has made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts, albeit with just two of those coming from 40 yards or more.

McManus made field goals from 31, 53 and 40 yards but missed a 29-yard attempt in Sunday's 23-0 win over the Jets, when he also converted his two extra-point tries.

McManus' 11 points tied his season-high mark, pushing him up to 85 points on the season.

Tavecchio did not attempt a field goal but made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Chiefs.

Tavecchio has made just one of two field-goal attempts over the past four games, severely capping his fantasy utility.

Gano made a 41-yard field goal as well as all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Vikings.

Gano's performance brought his season tally to an even 100 points, placing him just outside the top 10 leaguewide.

Coons made field goals from 33, 21 and 36 yards and also converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Redskins.

Coons has been a revelation in two games with the Chargers, as he's now racked up 25 points in that short span. He'll hope to keep the points coming in Arrowhead Stadium's hostile environment this Saturday.

Bryant made field goals from 28 and 52 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Saints, when he also converted both of his extra-point tries.

Bryant's 50-yarder proved to be the game-winning kick, as it put Atlanta ahead with just under four minutes remaining. The 42-year-old has registered at least eight points in five straight games heading into Monday night's trip to Tampa Bay.

Walsh made a 28-yard field goal but missed from 38 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Jaguars. He also made all three of his extra-point tries.

Walsh has now scored six points in three straight weeks. Although he's now missed seven of 27 field-goal opportunities this season, his point tally still places inside the top 15 leaguewide.

Zuerlein did not attempt a field goal but made all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 43-35 loss to the Eagles.

Zuerlein's five points gave him just his fifth single-digit performance of the campaign. Although the Rams have a tough matchup in Seattle this Sunday, Zuerlein's league-leading point tally suggests he's due for a rebound.

Tucker made a 47-yard field goal as well as all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 39-38 loss to the Steelers.

Tucker has now tallied at least eight points in nine straight games, bringing his total to 112 on the campaign, good for fifth leaguewide.
