  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another low-volume game

    Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.

    Zuerlein contributed only one of the NFL-record 73 field goals made in Week 2, and he converted just one yet again Thursday. The Jets have been efficient when they get into scoring range early this season, with nine touchdowns compared to only three field-goal attempts, and Zuerlein shanked a 45-yard attempt late in the first half Thursday before bouncing back with a 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Still not practicing

    Karty (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    With back-to-back absences to open Week 3 prep, Karty is trending in the wrong direction to be available for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The Rams could signal whether or not Karty has a chance to play this weekend on its final injury report of the week Friday or by elevating Tanner Brown from the practice squad Saturday. In the end, one of Karty or Brown will be L.A.'s placekicker for Week 3.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Should be good to go Sunday

    Gay (quadriceps) was a full participant during practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Gay didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday is an encouraging sign that suggests he'll be handling kicking duties for the Colts on Sunday against the Bears. After missing the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans, Gay returned to action for the Week 2 loss to the Packers and knocked down his lone extra-point try and one of two field-goal attempts.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Kicking at Thursday's practice

    Gay (quadriceps) is handling kicking duties at practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Gay couldn't practice Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field Thursday. The veteran kicker missed Week 1 due to offseason sports hernia surgery and is now nursing a new quad issue, but he looks to be making good progress ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears. The Colts also have kicker Spencer Shrader on the practice squad.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Misses first PAT of his career

    Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Panthers.

    Dicker missed the first point-after attempt of his NFL career after the Chargers' opening-drive touchdown. He was perfect afterward though, making field goals from 46 and 42 yards out, while also making the PATs on the team's other two touchdowns.

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Karty (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    The Rams' rookie kicker tweaked his groin in last Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals. Through two contests, Karty has drilled all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier in the week that he expects Karty to be available for Sunday's game against the 49ers, but the Rams signed Tanner Brown to the practice squad Tuesday as a potential replacement if Karty doesn't bounce back from the groin injury as anticipated.

    Colts' Matt Gay: Unable to practice Wednesday

    Gay (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Gay is dealing with a quad injury after missing Week 1 while recovering from sports hernia surgery. The veteran missed a field-goal attempt wide left from 50 yards during Indianapolis' loss to Green Bay, though he converted his only other attempt from 34 yards out, plus his lone extra-point try. Gay will have two more chances to improve his practice level ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

  • Matt McCrane K | DET

    Matt McCrane: Gets new opportunity

    McCrane signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.

    McCrane hasn't kicked in an NFL game since 2018 and has since bounced around multiple franchises as a member of the practice squad. Most recently though he was a member of the DC Defenders in the UFL. The addition of the Kansas State product comes after the Giants signed Greg Joseph from Detroit's practice squad to replace Graham Gano who is out with a hamstring injury.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Heads to IR

    The Giants placed Gano (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Gano's move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least the next four games while he recovers from the right hamstring strain he sustained during the opening kickoff of this past Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. The Giants replaced Gano on the 53-man roster with Greg Joseph, who was signed off the Lions' practice squad and will take over as New York's kicker beginning with this Sunday's game in Cleveland.

  • Greg Joseph K | NYG

    Giants' Greg Joseph: Replacing injured Gano in New York

    The Giants signed Joseph off the Lions' practice squad on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    After losing the battle for the Packers' kicking job at the end of training camp, Joseph had to wait just two weeks before getting an opportunity with another team. With the Giants, he'll be serving as a short-term replacement for Graham Gano, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after straining his right hamstring in this past Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. The 30-year-old Joseph has appeared in 51 games with the Browns, Titans and Vikings over parts of five NFL seasons, converting 82.6 percent of his field-goal tries.
