Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Szmyt will remain the team's kicker for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The Syracuse product was shaky in his NFL debut during this past Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bengals, missing one of two extra-point attempts and a 36-yard field-goal try that would have put the Browns ahead in the fourth quarter. Despite the 26-year-old's rough performance, the Browns haven't worked out any other kickers this week, and Stefanski is optimistic that Szmyt will improve as the season rolls along. However, another poor showing by Szmyt in Week 2 could prompt Stefanski to rethink the team's plans at kicker moving forward.

Pineiro agreed to a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With the 49ers cutting Jake Moody on Tuesday after he missed two field goals in the season-opening 17-13 win over the Seahawks, Pineiro will step in as the team's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game at New Orleans. The third-most accurate kicker in NFL history with an 88.1 percent success rate on field-goal attempts over parts of five NFL seasons, Pineiro should bring some much-needed stability to the San Francisco kicking game. Since he'll be attached to what looks to be a solid albeit banged-up 49ers offense, Pineiro could profile as an above-average fantasy kicker right off the bat.

Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday.

Reichard's 59-yard field goal at the end of the first half matched a Soldier Field record and brought the Vikings' deficit to four points. The 2024 sixth-rounder had a perfect start through Week 8 of his rookie season before suffering a quad injury in Week 9, which impacted his accuracy down the stretch as he went 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts over the final five weeks of the regular season. Reichard's fantasy impact will largely depend on the effectiveness of the Vikings' offense led by J.J. McCarthy.

Santos went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Santos connected on a 42-yard field goal late in the second quarter, but his 50-yard attempt at the beginning of the fourth sailed right, which put the Vikings' in good field position and led to a 13-yard touchdown pass from J.J. McCarthy to Justin Jefferson six plays later. Santos is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he connected on just 21 of 25 field-goal attempts, but his numbers would improve in 2025 if the Bears' offense -- led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson -- is able to move the ball down the field more effectively.

The Bills signed Prater off their practice squad Tuesday.

Though Buffalo would have had the ability to elevate Prater from the practice squad in advance of two more games, the Bills may have chosen to sign the 41-year-old to the 53-man roster to avoid having him being poached by the 49ers or Falcons, both of whom could be breaking in new kickers in Week 2. Prater is likely to stick around as the Bills' kicker for the duration of the absence of Tyler Bass (hip/groin), who was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season and will miss at least three more games. The veteran Prater proved to be reliable in his Bills debut this past Sunday, knocking down both of his point-after attempts in addition to converting on field-goal tries of 25, 43 and 32 yards in Buffalo's 41-40 win over Baltimore, the last of which was the game-winner as time expired.

The 49ers will waive Moody on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Moody has been on thin ice since the end of his rookie campaign in 2023, when he followed up a promising regular season by missing two field goals and one extra-point attempt over three playoff games. He then endured a nightmarish sophomore campaign in which he missed 11 kicks in total (10 field goals, one extra point), and his struggles continued in the 49ers' 17-13 win over the Seahawks in Week 1. Before converting on a 32-yard try in the fourth quarter, Moody hit the left upright on a 27-yard attempt late in the second quarter, then had a 36-yard attempt in the third quarter get blocked. The 49ers don't currently have any other kickers on their 53-man roster or practice squad.

Patterson reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday.

Patterson served as the team's kicker with Jason Sanders (hip) on injured reserve but didn't attempt either a field goal or extra point during Sunday's blowout loss versus the Colts. Patterson will likely be elevated again for the Miami's Week 2 matchup versus the Patriots.

Prater reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.

With Tyler Bass (hip/groin) landing on injured reserve prior to the season opener, Prater was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Bills. The 41-year-old knocked down all five of his kicks in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens, capping off the victory with a 32-yard field goal as time expired. Prater will almost certainly be elevated to the active roster again for the Bills' Week 2 game versus the Jets.

Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Buffalo placed Tyler Bass (hip/groin) on injured reserve prior to the Week 1 matchup, prompting the team to elevate the 41-year-old Prater from the practice squad to fill in as the team's kicker. Prater deftly handled all of his assignments, none bigger than when he calmly nailed a 32-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. With Bass due to miss at least the next three games while on IR, Prater will likely be elevated once again in advance of the Bills' Week 2 matchup with the Jets.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the Falcons will work out some kickers this week after Koo missed a 44-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to Tampa Bay, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. "You have to say [Koo is the kicker] right now, but we'll work out some veterans, we'll work out some up-and-comers," Morris said, highlighting Lenny Krieg, who is on Atlanta's practice squad, as a "developing prospect" for the team.

One of the more reliable kickers in the league from 2019 through 2023, Koo converted a career-worst 73.5 percent of his field-goal attempts last season. In Week 1, Koo connected from 41 and 36 yards before pushing what would have been a game-tying field goal wide right at the end of regulation. Though Krieg is part of the organization as a member of the practice squad, the Falcons could bring aboard a veteran kicker with prior NFL experience to pose a more serious threat to potentially unseating Koo atop the depth chart heading into Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
