Karty converted on one of two field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens.

The second-year pro from Stanford has now missed a field goal in consecutive weeks, with his miss in Week 6 coming from just 26 yards out. Karty has made 10 of 14 field-goal tries and 14 of 16 extra-point attempts through the Rams first six games this season. His next opportunity to score will come in the Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that Austin's (shoulder) status is in question for Thursday night's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Austin was injured in the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings and then missed this past Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Browns following Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye. It sounds like he may need another week to recover due to the short week ahead. If Austin does indeed miss Thursday night's game, he'll have 10 days to get ready for a Week 8 date with the Packers. With Austin out versus Cleveland, Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek split wide receiver duties behind DK Metcalf. However, the Steelers leaned more on three-tight end sets rather than multiple wideouts.

Wright made his lone field-goal and extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

The UCF product performed well while filling in for the injured Joey Slye (calf) in the Week 6 loss, converting on both of his kicks. Following Sunday's performance, Wright is likely to remain the Titans' top placekicker in the Week 7 matchup against the Patriots if Slye is unable to return.

Borregales converted his lone field-goal try and both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.

The rookie kicker from Miami has now made made eight of nine field-goal attempts and 14 of 16 extra-point tries through his first six NFL games. Borregales hasn't missed a kick since New England's Week 2 win over the Dolphins, and he'll look to remain perfect in the Week 7 matchup against the Titans.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Atwell (hamstring) is expected to return to action Week 7 against the Jaguars, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Atwell missed Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore due to a hamstring issue, but in the two games prior he totaled a 3-160-1 line on six targets. With star wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) considered day-to-day and uncertain to face Jacksonville, it would be a notable boost for Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles' passing offense to get a field stretcher as capable as Atwell back in the lineup.

Robinson had two receptions (on three targets) for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Robinson was demoted to No. 4 on the 49ers' depth chart with the return of Jauan Jennings (ribs) to the starting lineup Sunday. The 30-year-old Robinson still finished with his highest yardage total since joining San Francisco this past offseason after breaking off a 31-yard reception in the second quarter. Robinson logged only 13 snaps (19 percent) for a shorthanded offense Sunday, a concerning trend for a player who was expected to step into a larger role with his new club. The veteran wideout makes for a risky play Week 7 against the Falcons with such a limited role.

Paye had 2.0 sacks, three total QB hits and seven total tackles in Sunday's win over Arizona.

On a day when the Colts' front four struggled to generate a pass rush, Paye came up huge several times with key sacks. After a slow first two games, Paye has 3.0 sacks and six QB hurries in his last four games.

Ruckert wasn't targeted in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Ruckert reverted to being a non-factor in the passing game after a four-catch outing in Week 5 against the Cowboys. He was on the field for 22 of the Jets' 57 snaps on offense. Ruckert should continue to work behind Mason Taylor in Week 7against the Panthers.

Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Smith had one deep ball thrown his way, but Justin Fields failed to connect with the rookie speedster. That wasn't a surprising outcome considering Fields threw for only 45 yards in the game. Smith could get more involved in the offense against the Panthers in Week 7 if Garrett Wilson (knee) sits out or is limited.

Dulin had two kick returns for an average of 29.5 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just one snap on offense.

Dulin had five targets and two receptions for 55 yards the previous week against Las Vegas, but moved back to a bench role with Alec Pierce returning from a concussion. Dulin is a key player on special teams but could still be used as a fourth receiver, as he may have moved ahead of Adonai Mitchell on the depth chart. Mitchell was a healthy inactive for Sunday's game.
