Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis missed a 48-yard kick early in the second quarter, but bounced back with a pair of field goals in a 34-15 loss to Kansas City in Week 3. Sturgis drilled a 22-yard shot at the end of the first half and booted a 51-yard kick in the third quarter. He converted 2 of 3 field goal attempts and added one extra point in the defeat.

Broncos kicker Brandon McManus wasn't asked do much in a Week 3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. McManus converted a 24-yard kick late in the first quarter. He finished 1 for 1 in field goal attempts, and added one extra point in a 26-20 victory. 

After missing his only field goal attempt in Week 2, Vikings kicker Blair Walsh was a perfect 3 for 3 Week 3 at New Orleans. He hit a 25-yarder in the second quarter, a 30-yarder in the second quarter and a 40-yarder in the fourth quarter. He did not have an extra point.

The Vikings host the Falcons in Week 4.

Saints placekicker Shayne Graham wasn't called upon to do a whole heck of a lot Sunday against the visiting Vikings. He was asked to boot three extra points - and missed one of them. He did not attempt a field goal.

Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker  proved perfect in three field goal attempts Sunday in Cleveland. The last of the trio that sailed through the uprights from 32 yards out gave his team the victory.

Tucker hit from 38 to open the scoring and added a 21-yarder with five minutes left in the game before his final heroics. He also made both of his extra-point tries.

He will seek perfection again in Week 4 with Carolina coming to town.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hit his only field-goal attempt and added four extra points in his team's 34-31 loss to the Cowboys in Week 3.

Zuerlein put his team up 24-20 in the fourth quarter by making a 28-yard field-goal attempt, but the Cowboys responded with two touchdowns and an eventual win. Zuerlein is 7 of 8 on field-goal tries with a long of 56 yards. He's off in Week 4 before hitting the road to face the Eagles.

The following players on the injury report were ruled active for the Broncos in Week 3 against Seattle: David Bruton (shoulder), Quinton Carter (knee), Chris Harris (knee), kicker Brandon McManus (groin) and Von Miller (groin). 

Linebacker Danny Trevathan (knee) is the lone questionable player on the Friday injury report released Friday by the Broncos for their Sunday game against Seattle.

Fellow linebacker Lerentee McCray (knee) is the lone Bronco ruled out. Listed as probable are cornerback Chris Harris (knee), kicker Brandon McManus (groin), linebacker Von Miller (groin) and guard Ben Garland (ankle).

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant managed points despite missing his only field goal attempt.

With time running out in the second quarter, Bryant lined up for a 59 yard attempt. He missed wide left. While that was the only field goal attempt he received, Bryant actually got a ton of work. He hit all eight of his extra point attempts, finding a way to put points on the board.

Bryant will take on the Vikings Week 4. 

The Lions, who are thinking about replacing rookie kicker Nate Freese, worked out kickers Rob Bironas, Alex Henery and Garrett Hartley on Tuesday, a source told ESPN. Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Monday the team would consider a change at kicker after Freese has missed three field goals through two games.
