Broncos kicker Brandon McManus had a big game Week 5.

McManus hit just two of his three field goal attempts, but made up for that with five extra points. He was able to hit from 41 and 44 yards out, but missed from 53 yards away. He'll take on the Jets Week 6. 

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker knocked down a pair of field goals in a Week 5 defeat to the Colts.

Tucker booted a 52-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 27-yard field goal in the final period. He converted all two of his field goal attempts, adding one extra point in a 20-13 defeat.

Saints kicker Shayne Graham made three field goals and finished with a season-high 11 points during a 37-31 overtime win Week 5 against the Bucs. 

Graham made field goals of 29 and 30 yards in the first quarter, and then tied the game at 31 with a 44-yard field goal with 2:30 left in the fourth quarter. 

The Saints are back in action Week 7 at Detroit. The team is on a bye Week 6.

Panthers placekicker Graham Gano nailed a 44-yard field goal with four minutes left to tie the game and booted all four extra point attempts to help his team beat Chicago on Sunday.

His field goal came on his only try.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant finished with eight points during a 30-20 loss Week 5 at N.Y. Giants. Bryant made a pair of 20-yard field goals in the second quarter and added two extra points in the loss.

Bryant has totaled at least eight points in three games this season. The Falcons are back in action Week 6 vs. Chicago.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein wasn't called upon to attempt a field goal in his team's 34-28 loss to the Eagles in Week 5.

Zuerlein nailed all four of his extra-point attempts, but the Rams lost a pair of fumbles in field-goal range to contribute to the kicker's quiet day. Zuerlein has kicked eight extra points over his last two games but has just one field goal over that stretch. The Rams will host the 49ers on Monday night in Week 6.

The Broncos probables are good to go Week 5 against the Cardinals.

Quinton Carter, Virgil Green, Brandon McManus, Danny Trevathan and Louis Vasquez will all play. Both Carter and Trevathan are dealing with knee injuries. Green is recovering from a concussion. McManus has an groin issue, and Vasquez is dealing with a rib injury. 

The Broncos have released their final injury report prior to Week 5.

Both David Bruton Jr. and Lerentee McCray have been listed as questionable. Quinton Carter, Virgil Green, Brandon McManus, Danny Trevathan and Louis Vasquez are all probable heading into the game. 

The Broncos have released placekicker Matt Prater , according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The move would save the team $2.294 million in cap space.

Prater is coming off a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He had been one of the most prolific placekickers in the sport. He is 21 for 27 lifetime on boots of 50 yards or longer.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh received one field goal attempt Thursday against the Packers. 

Walsh was kept on the sideline until the final quarter. He came in and hit his only extra point attempt at the beginning of the quarter, and would drill a 26 yard field goal a bit later. Though the Vikings were down by 35, they still opted to let Walsh kick a field goal late.

He'll look for more Week 6 against the Lions.
