Stevens made his only field-goal try and converted both of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 23-17 loss at San Francisco.

The Commanders' offense put forth a mostly-uninspiring effort in Week 6, but Stevens made the most of his limited opportunities, including a 51-yard field goal to put the team on the scoreboard after its first drive of the night. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Terry McLaurin ruptured his patellar tendon Monday, and regular starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt went to IR with a groin injury before the game, neither of which bodes well for Washington's general offensive outlook for the coming weeks. Stevens and the Commanders will take on the Eagles in Week 8 after their bye in Week 7.

Pineiro made his lone field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday.

Pineiro connected on a 33-yard field goal late in the third quarter to give the 49ers a 23-3 lead, but his extra-point try late in the first quarter missed wide to the right. Through six regular-season games, the veteran kicker has gone 6-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-22 on extra-point tries. He hasn't been the most accurate kicker, but Pineiro's scoring floor will remain elevated seeing as the 49ers rank third in the NFL in points per game (29.5) and ninth in yards per game (366.7). The 49ers will hit the road for Week 7 against the Falcons on Oct. 25.

McManus is slated to sign with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

With Blake Grupe having landed on IR, the Rams are brining McManus in to fill the void at kicker ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. McManus thus represents an option for those who had rostered Grupe or are otherwise looking for a kicking help ahead of Week 7, with four teams on bye.

The Dolphins signed Gonzalez (undisclosed) to their practice squad Tuesday.

Gonzalez failed to beat out Riley Patterson for the Dolphins' kicking job over the summer, ultimately getting cut loose Aug. 19 on an injury settlement after being placed on IR just over a week earlier. He's now seemingly recovered from that injury, and after working out with Miami earlier Tuesday, Gonzalez has re-signed with the organization. He looks poised to take over as the Dolphins' kicker beginning with Sunday's game against the Jets, with Miami releasing Patterson after he missed two field-goal tries and a point-after attempt through the club's first five games. Over parts of seven NFL seasons, Gonzalez has converted at an 81 percent clip on field-goal attempts and has excelled at neutralizing the return game, with 52.5 percent of his kickoffs going for touchbacks.

The Dolphins released Patterson Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Miami will part ways with Patterson coming out of its Week 6 bye, after the kicker converted on seven of nine field-goal tries and five of six extra-point attempts through the team's first five games. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are expected to replace Patterson with Zane Gonzalez, who worked out for the team Tuesday and will be signed either to 53-man roster or practice squad.

Elliott made both of his extra-point attempts during the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

With Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the year, Sunday was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center. The offense labored to get up and down the field, and it was the fifth time in six games that Elliott attempted zero or one field goals. Week 7 against the Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 26 could be a better night offensively for the Eagles, given that Dallas' defense ranks in the bottom-3 in the league in yards allowed per game.

Folk made his sole PAT in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Folk attempted no field goals and kicked just one PAT in the loss. The kicker is still 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts and remains a perfect 13-for-13 on PATs through six regular-season contests in 2026.

Szmyt went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT during Sunday's 13-10 win over the Ravens.

Szmyt made multiple field goals for the fifth week in a row. The kicker made his first try from 48 yards in the third quarter before missing another 48-yard try wide left with 3:44 left in regulation. Szmyt was able to get the last laugh though, nailing a game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter. On the year, Szmyt has gone 12-for-13 on field-goal tries while making eight of nine extra-point attempts over six games.

Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts in the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Dicker's 23-yard and 30-yard field goals were the only points scored by the Chargers in the team's blowout loss. While the offense could not get going, Dicker remained reliable. The 26-year-old moves to 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and a perfect nine-for-nine on extra-point attempts over six regular-season games in 2026.

Borregales made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday.

All of Borregales' kick attempts came from within 35 yards, with his longest field goal coming from 32 yards. He missed his first extra point of the season, and through six games he has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. The Patriots will operate on a short practice week ahead of Thursday's road tilt against the Bears.
