Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts four of five kicks Week 4
Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 24-21 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Boswell lined up for a 30-yard chip shot to put Pittsburgh up by 11 points late in the second quarter, only for Isaiah Rodgers to break through the Steelers' line to block the kick, which resulted in a Vikings' field goal nine plays later. It was the first missed field goal of the season for Boswell, and through four regular-season games he's gone 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 10-for-10 on extra-point attempts. The Steelers are on a bye for Week 5, so Boswell will make his next appearance in Week 6 against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Wins kicking competition
McAtamney was elevated from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
The Rutgers product competed with Younghoe Koo throughout the week for the Giants' top kicker spot, as Graham Gano (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Following Saturday's elevation, McAtamney appears set to handle New York's kicking duties in a Week 4 matchup against the Chargers. A solid performance Sunday could cement his role as the Giants' top kicker until Gano returns.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Moves to injured reserve
The Giants placed Gano (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
Gano suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups last Sunday against the Chiefs and was able to muster only a successful 25-yard field goal during that contest. Otherwise, punter Jamie Gillan handled the rest of the placekicking duties. With Gano out for at least the next four games, the Giants will turn to Jude McAtamney first (instead of Younghoe Koo) as a practice-squad elevation Sunday against the Chargers.

John Parker Romo K | ATL
Falcons' Parker Romo: Kicking again in Week 4
Romo will serve as the Falcons' top place kicker in Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Despite a tough Week 3 performance in which Romo missed both of his field-goal attempts, he'll remain the Falcons' kicker for the third consecutive game. Across the 28-year-old's NFL career, he's made 16 of 19 field-goal tries and nine of 10 extra-point attempts. Romo will look to bounce back against Washington in Week 4.

Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits game-winner Thursday
Myers made three of four field-goal attempts, including a 52-yard game-winner as time expired, and both extra-point tries in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
The kicker rebounded as time expired after missing a 53-yard attempt with 3:21 to go in the fourth quarter. Myers also hit field goals from 44 and 31 yards, respectively. The veteran has now knocked home nine of 11 field-goal attempts and is 12-for-12 on extra-point tries in 2025.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Perfect in loss
Ryland went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Ryland made a 33-yard field goal in the first quarter before later connecting on a season-long 57-yard try in the third quarter. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in each of the team's first four games of the year. To this point in the season, Ryland has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making all eight of his PATs.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Jude McAtamney: Could start in Week 4
McAtamney is expected to compete with Younghoe Koo for the Giants' top place kicker ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
With Graham Gano (groin) expected to be placed on injured reserve soon, McAtamney has an opportunity to serve as New York's top kicker for at least the next four games. The 25-year-old from Rutgers appeared in one game for the Giants in 2024, converting on his lone field-goal and extra-point attempts. Additionally, he made all 11 of his extra-point tries across New York's three preseason games this year.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Younghoe Koo: Competing for starting role
Koo will compete with Jude McAtamney for the Giants' top place kicker spot ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Though head coach Brian Daboll hasn't officially ruled out Graham Gano (groin) in Week 4, Gano is expected to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days. Thus, Koo will have the opportunity to compete for New York's top kicker position after being released by the Falcons on Sept. 19. The Georgia Southern product converted on 25 of his 34 field-goal tries and all 26 of his extra-point attempts in 2024 with Atlanta.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Stint on IR expected
The Giants are expected to place Gano (groin) on injured reserve, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Gano will be forced to miss at least four games if officially placed on IR. He suffered a groin injury just prior to kickoff Week 3 versus the Chiefs and toughed through the issue to convert his only field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter, but it now looks like Gano will be forced to miss time. Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney are both on New York's practice squad and look set to compete for a starting opportunity Sunday versus the Chargers.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Recovering well
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Wednesday that Bass (left hip/groin) is moving in the right direction, but the Bills remain unsure about when he will return from injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Buffalo will be without its top place kicker for at least one more week, as Bass was forced to miss the team's first four games due to his placement on IR in early September. It's unclear whether the Georgia Southern product will be available following the Bills' Week 4 contest against the Saints, but Matt Prater is expected to assume the team's kicking duties until Bass returns to full health.
