Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Neither team could generate that much offense in tough conditions Sunday, but Zvada helped the Giants build and maintain their lead with four field goals, all of which came from within 40 yards. The rookie kicker has made all six of his field-goal attempts and each of his four extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season.

Dicker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Dicker's made field goals came from 33, 21 and 33 yards, with his miss early in the second quarter coming from 45 yards. Dicker has missed two of his five field-goal attempts through the first three games of the regular season, well below the 90-percent success rate he enjoyed in each of the first four years of his NFL career.

McLaurin caught six of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks.

After two frustrating games to begin the season that saw multiple near misses in the end zone, McLaurin finally broke out with Marcus Mariota under center instead of Jayden Daniels (elbow), hauling in a 30-yard strike in the third quarter of Sunday's upset. McLaurin led the Commanders in catches, targets and receiving yards in the win, and he'll take a 10-141-1 line on 22 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts.

Shrader made all four of his field-goal attempts while connecting on his lone extra-point try during the Colts' 19-17 win over the Texans on Sunday.

It looked like Shrader was going to observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines after he sustained a groin injury during pregame warmups. However, Shrader was cleared to attempt a field goal in the first quarter, and two of his four made field goals came from 50-plus yards, including a 53-yarder with 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Colts their first win of the season. Shrader has made all eight of his field-goal attempts (including three from 50-plus yards) and six of seven extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season.

Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 19 times for 36 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks.

The second-year back couldn't get much going against the defending Super Bowl champs, with his longest run going for just nine yards, but the 20 touches did represent a season high in volume. Croskey-Merritt remains the top early-down option in the Commanders' backfield, and through three games he's gained 142 rushing yards and a TD on 47 carries. He could find more running room in a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts.

Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts and each of his three extra-point tries during the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Boswell missed one kick in each of the first two games of the regular season, but he was perfect during Sunday's win. He connected on field goals from 44, 36 and 33 yards, the last of which occurred just before the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter and gave Pittsburgh the lead for good. It appears the Steelers' offense may have figured something out in Week 3, and that continued success would raise Boswell's scoring floor over the coming weeks.

Evans has a rib/oblique injury, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed after Sunday's 36-30 win over the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Evans was ruled out of the game due to a rib injury after absorbing a big hit, but it sounds like the veteran wide receiver is also dealing with an oblique injury. Further clarification on Evans' status will surface before the 3-0 49ers host the Broncos in Week 4.

Mariota completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks. He added 11 rushing yards on five carries.

The veteran quarterback got his first start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and while Mariota didn't produce a lot of yardage against one of the top defenses in the league, he came up big when it counted, Mariota found Rachaad White for a six-yard score and Treylon Burks for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter, before connecting with Terry McLaurin for a 30-yard touchdown in the third. Daniels could be back as soon as Week 5 but Mariota will get at least one more start, at home in Week 4 against the Colts.

McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and each of his three extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh.

McPherson's first made field goal came from 50 yards out, which was his fifth made field goal from 50-plus yards this season. He has yet to miss a kick through three regular-season games, and he'll continue to operate with a higher scoring floor than most kickers for as long as the Bengals' offense under Joe Burrow continues to move the ball. Up next is a Week 4 home tilt against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Powers-Johnson (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Powers-Johnson is being evaluated by medical staff late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Caleb Rogers figures to be the next man up at right guard if Powers-Johnson is unable to return.
