  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Inactive Sunday

    Zuerlein (groin) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.

    Zuerlein was a late addition to the injury report after suffering a groin injury during Friday's practice, and that ailment turned out to be enough to hold him out of action. According to the Rams' official site, the recently-signed Zach Hocker will get the starting nod at kicker Sunday afternoon.

    Zach Hocker: Signing with Rams

    Hocker will sign with the Rams on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

    The Rams' regular kicker, Greg Zuerlein, is considered questionable with a groin injury, so the addition of Hocker simply adds insurance in the event Zuerlein is held out. Hocker appeared in six games for the Saints before being waived on Oct. 19. He converted 9-of-13 field goals, including all three of his attempts within 30 yards.

  • Rams' Greg Zuerlein: Added to injury report

    Zuerlein (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.

    Zuerlein presumably suffered the injury during Friday's practice, as he was a late addition to the final injury report. Even if he's able to play, he's attached to a terrible offense that has a highly difficult matchup.

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Won't kick this week

    Bryant (quad) won't play Sunday against the Vikings.

    He'll be replaced this weekend by veteran kicker Shayne Graham, who joined the Falcons earlier this week after Bryant strained his quad Wednesday during practice.

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Misses Friday's practice

    Bryant (quadriceps) was unable to practice Friday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.

    Bryant seems a long shot to play Sunday against the Vikings, especially since the Falcons went out and signed Shayne Graham earlier in the week.

    Panthers' Graham Gano: Racks up 15 points Thursday

    Gano finished with 15 points in Thursday's win over the Cowboys, converting on 4-of-5 field-goal attempts and knocking down all three of his extra-point tries.

    The Panthers controlled the clock through much of the game, but their failure to convert on eight of their 16 third-down chances worked to the benefit of Gano. A blocked kick by the Cowboys on his final attempt from the field was the only thing that stood in the way of a perfect day for Gano, who has recorded double-digit points in four of his last five games.

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Dealing with quad issue

    With Bryant having strained his quad Wednesday during practice, the Falcons have signed Shayne Graham.

    The Falcons haven't ruled Bryant out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the fact that the team move so swiftly to add another kicker suggests that Bryant is in danger of missing the contest.

  • Falcons' Shayne Graham: Signed by Falcons

    The Falcons have signed Graham.

    Graham was added by the team Thursday, with Matt Bryant having strained his quad Wednesday during practice and thus potentially missing Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Falcons' Matt Bryant: Limited Wednesday

    Bryant was limited in practice Wednesday due to a right quadriceps injury.

    Until the Falcons sign another kicker, Bryant should be considered good to go for Sunday's contest against the Vikings. Typically one of the highest-scoring kicking options in the NFL, he's fallen all the way to 18th in scoring with 68 points, as the Falcons have sputtered after a fast start to the season.

  • Connor Barth K | CHI

    Buccaneers' Connor Barth: Converts one field goal, six extra points in Week 11 blowout

    Barth kicked a 28-yard field goal in his only attempt, and converted all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 45-17 victory over the Eagles.

    Barth broke a two-week streak of missed field goals by successfully converting his sole attempt. With Jameis Winston and the rest of the Bucs offense in record-breaking mode Sunday, the veteran kicker got a rare respite from three-point tries. He notably matched the career-high six extra-point attempts he posted in a similarly memorable Tampa offensive outburst versus the Raiders in 2012, the only game in Doug Martin's career where he exceeded his remarkable 235-yard total from Sunday.
