Patterson was elevated from Cleveland's practice squad Friday and will kick in Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans.

Patterson's elevation was expected after the Browns ruled Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) out for the team's playoff opener. While filling in for Hopkins over the last two games of the regular season, Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards and made six of seven PAT attempts. Earlier in the season, he made 15 of 17 field-goal attempts and 35 of 37 PAT attempts for the Lions.

Hopkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus Houston, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Hopkins suffered a hamstring injury during the team's Week 16 win over the Jets and will now miss his third consecutive game. The Browns will likely elevate Riley Patterson from their practice squad to handle kicking duties in the postseason opener.

Sanders did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bills. He converted both extra-point tries.

Sanders had attempted at least two field goals in six of his prior seven games heading into Sunday's divisional loss, but Miami's offense was never put in a position to chase anything less than a touchdown. Across 17 games this season, Sanders converted 24 of 28 field-goal attempts (86 percent) and a career-high 58 of 59 extra-point tries. He'll look to maintain his consistency during the playoffs, beginning with a Saturday road matchup against the Chiefs in the wild-card round.

Gano (knee) finished the campaign with an 11-for-17 mark on field-goal attempts while making all eight of his extra-point tries over eight contests.

Gano's season began ominously when he missed both of his field-goal tries (though one was blocked) in a blowout loss to Dallas in Week 1. The veteran kicker bounced back over his subsequent five games but suffered a left knee injury prior to Week 7, and he hit just one of four field-goal attempts over the next two weeks before landing on IR and remaining there for the remainder of the campaign. Gano was outstanding in his first three seasons with New York, going 89-for-97 on field-goal attempts (91.8 percent), which included a 20-for-25 mark from 50 yards and beyond. He's signed through 2026 and is a good candidate to bounce back upon returning next year.

Ryland connected on 16 of his 25 field-goal attempts and 24 of his 25 extra-point tries in 17 games during the 2023 season.

The Patriots took Ryland, who logged 72 points in that span, in the fourth round (112th overall) of last April's NFL draft, and the Maryland product took over the team's kicking job ahead of Week 1 following the trade of Nick Folk to the Titans. Accuracy issues and working behind an inconsistent offense limited Ryland's fantasy utility as a rookie, but he'll presumably have an opportunity to continue his role in 2024. That said, when it comes to New England's looming roster overhaul, it wouldn't surprise us to see competition for Ryland brought in ahead of next season.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Hopkins (hamstring) is unlikely to be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Houston, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Hopkins missed the Browns' final two regular-season games while recovering from a left hamstring injury, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday as the team resumes practicing ahead of this weekend's postseason opener, per Trotter. Barring a dramatic turn in Hopkins' recovery, the Browns are expected to elevate Riley Patterson from the practice squad for the third straight game to handle kicking duties Saturday.

McLaughlin did not attempt any extra points but drilled field goals of 36, 57 and 39 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The highly accurate kicker fittingly finished the season in perfect form and with one of his signature long-distance kicks. McLaughlin generated a career-best 93.5 percent success rate (29-for-31) on field goals and a perfect 33-for-33 on PATs during the Buccaneers' 17 regular-season contests. Perhaps the most impressive part of his statistical profile was his 7-for-8 tally on kicks of 50-plus yards, and he'll undoubtedly be relied upon again against the Eagles in Monday night's wild-card matchup.

Bass was true on all three of his extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

In a 1958 style of box score, neither team even attempted a field-goal try, as the two offenses settled the score in what ultimately decided the AFC East crown for the Bills. Bass finishes the regular season with 121 points, which ranks 15th among all kickers for the 2023 campaign. This is a bit of a disappointment given that the Bills have one of the NFL's better offenses and that Bass finished in a tie for sixth among kicker scoring in both 2022 and 2021. On a more positive note, he's scored 121 or more points in all four of his NFL seasons. Bass and the Bills are heavily favored in a home wild-card game against the No. 7 seed Steelers on Sunday.

The Giants reverted Crosby to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

New York's season is over, but Crosby could potentially still see postseason action if another team were to sign him off the Giants' practice squad. The veteran kicker went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and converted all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's win over Philadelphia. He finished the campaign having gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-7 on extra-point tries over three games.

Wright reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday.

Wright was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Buccaneers, missing his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards in the contest. The kicker spent the 2023 campaign on and off of multiple practice squads, and he will look to earn an active roster spot in 2024.
