The Bills placed Bass (left hip/groin) on injured reserve Friday.

Bass dealt with what at the time was termed a pelvic injury in the early days of training camp but still was able to suit up in Buffalo's preseason finale, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries. He then mustered just one limited practice during Week 1 prep due to left hip and groin concerns before the team made the decision to shut him down for at least the first four games of the season. The Bills will need to elevate Matt Prater from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the Ravens.

Elliott made a 58-yard field-goal attempt and all three PAT tries in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Elliott missed eight field-goal attempts and didn't connect on a kick longer than 50 yards in the 2024 regular season, but he could be in the early stages of a bounce-back campaign, as his lone field goal Thursday came from three yards shy of his career long. Philadelphia's short-yardage success and aggressiveness led to more PAT tries than field-goal attempts for Elliott, but he can provide fantasy utility if he regains the accuracy that helped him miss three or fewer field-goal attempts in each of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 regular seasons.

Aubrey made both of his field-goal attempts and a pair of PATs in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

The Cowboys started hot on offense, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives before setting Aubrey up for field goals of 41 and 53 yards. After making the latter kick to close out the first half, Aubrey didn't get another chance to add to his total as Philadelphia's defense stepped up in the second half. Aubrey's mix of power and accuracy is elite, so he should remain one of the top kickers in fantasy as long as Dallas' offense moves the ball at a decent clip.

Bass (left hip/groin) won't practice Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Per coach Sean McDermott, the Bills have yet to rule anyone out (including Bass) for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, but at this stage it looks like veteran kicker Matt Prater, who is on Buffalo's practice squad, may be filling in for the team this weekend.

Bass (hip/groin) didn't practice Thursday.

Bass is trending in the wrong direction, as he was unable to take the practice field Thursday due to left hip and groin injuries after logging a limited session Wednesday. The Bills signed veteran kicker Matt Prater to their practice squad Thursday, giving them an alternative within the organization if Bass is unavailable against the Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 1.

Bass (hip/groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Bass dealt with the injury during the preseason but was able to kick in the Bills' preseason finale 11 days ago. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback in the week-plus since, Bass should be okay for Sunday night's Week 1 opener against the Ravens.

The Falcons signed Krieg to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Krieg will stick around in Atlanta on the practice squad after failing to overtake Younghoe Koo for the starting kicking job. Krieg went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt across three preseason games.

Mevis signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

Mevis impressed in the UFL during the 2025 season, connecting on 20 of 21 field-goal attempts. He hit three of four field goals during the preseason but missed his lone attempt from beyond 50 yards. Meanwhile, veteran Nick Folk won the kicking job after a perfect preseason in addition to a lengthy track record. Mevis will be the next man up in case Folk gets injured or his accuracy drops off.

Smyth signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

As expected, Blake Grupe won the kicking job in New Orleans, so Smyth will be the de facto backup for the 2025 season like he was last season. Smyth is from Northern Ireland and stood out at the 2024 NFL Combine by hitting 12 of 16 field-goal attempts. He hit all four field-goal tries during the preseason, two of which were from beyond 50 yards.

The Giants signed McAtamney to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Graham Gano will be the Giants' starting kicker for the start of the regular season while McAtamney sticks around on the practice squad. McAtamney made both of his field-goal attempts and all 11 of his extra-point tries across three preseason games.
