The Rams signed Grupe off the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Los Angeles will bring Grupe aboard as its new kicker in place of Harrison Mevis, who was cut after going 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts in Monday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills and missing four kicks overall through the first five games of the season. Though he was unable to win the Jets' kicking job coming out of the preseason, Grupe has been a serviceable performer over parts of three NFL campaigns. For his career, Grupe has connected on 86 of 105 field-goal attempts (81.9 percent) and 96 of 98 extra-point tries (98 percent).

The Rams plan to waive Mevis on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Los Angeles has opted to move on from Mevis after he missed five of nine field-goal attempts through the team's first five contests, including a potential game-winning 48-yard attempt during Monday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills that ended up getting blocked. The Rams will sign Blake Grupe off the Jets' practice squad to replace Mevis as their kicker.

Folk converted all five of his kicks (three field goals, two extra points) during Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

All three of Folk's field goals came in the second half, including a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter to give the Falcons a 23-15 lead. His three made field goals were his most of the season, and after missing three kicks in each of his first two games, Folk has made all six of his field-goal tries over his last three outings. The Falcons will stay home for Week 6 against the Bears on Oct. 18.

Loop went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Ravens' 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

All three of Loop's made field goals came in the first half, the last two of which both came from 51 yards. It was his first game of the season of at least three field goals, and his five makes from 50-plus yards are tied for second-most in the NFL behind Spencer Shrader (six). Loop is 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-15 on PATs through five regular-season games, and the Ravens will hit the road for a Week 6 AFC North clash against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Myers made all seven of his kicks (five field goals, two extra points) during the Seahawks' 32-29 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Myers was responsible for 17 of the Seahawks' 29 points during Sunday's loss. All five of his field goals came from 40-plus yards and included a 50-yard make late in the second quarter to reduce Seattle's deficit to 14-13. Myers' five field goals in Week 5 were as many as he made through the first four games of the regular season and his most in a game since Week 15 of the 2025 campaign against the Colts (six). The Seahawks are on a short week as they travel to Denver for Thursday Night Football against the Broncos, whose defense could be without starting outside cornerbacks Patrick Surtain (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs) for a second consecutive game. Denver could also be without safety Talanoa Hufanga, who injured his ankle during the second half of the Broncos' 23-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Pineiro went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the 49ers' 32-29 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Pineiro's 52-yard field-goal try early in the third quarter went wide left, but he made up for that miss with a 44-yard field goal late in the fourth in what ended up being the game-winning kick for the 49ers. The veteran kicker has gone 5-for-8 on field-goal attempts through the first five games of the regular season, although each of those misses have come from 50-plus yards. Pineiro is also 17-for-19 on extra-point tries, and those 17 made PATs are second-most in the NFL behind Jake Bates (20). The 49ers will head back to San Francisco for Week 6 to host the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19.

Ryland made all three of his extra-point attempts but missed his lone field-goal try during the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Ryland failed to connect on a 53-yard field goal early in the third quarter, and the miss set the Lions up at mid field and ultimately led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Jameson Williams five plays later. Ryland has attempted one field goal or zero in three of Arizona's last four games, and both of his missed kicks this season have come from 50-plus yards. The Cardinals will travel to Los Angeles for a Week 6 NFC West showdown against the Rams on Oct. 18.

Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and converted on all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals.

The Lions' offense scoring six touchdowns, three on the ground and three through the air, so most of Bates' work came on extra points and kickoffs, though he also connected on a 46-yard field-goal late in the second quarter to give the Lions a 24-7 lead. Bates has attempted one field goal in four of the first five games of the regular season, although his 20 extra-point makes leads the NFL. The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so their next game will take place Week 7 at home against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Dicker made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during the Chargers' 23-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Dicker got the Chargers on the board with a 42-yard field goal in the second quarter before adding two PATs in the second half. Dicker has attempted one field goal or zero in three of the first five games of the regular season and has yet to make a field goal from 50-plus yards. He's 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 9-for-9 on extra-point tries heading into a Week 6 road matchup Oct. 18 against the Chiefs, who are coming off a bye.

Lutz went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and connected on both of his extra-point tries during the Broncos' 23-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Lutz extended Denver's lead to 10-3 with a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter before making two more field goals in the fourth, though he also missed a 42-yarder earlier in the period that would have given the Broncos a 10-point cushion. Lutz has missed a field goal in each of the Broncos' last three games, with two of those misses coming from within 50 yards. The Broncos will operate on a short week, as their next game is a Week 6 home tilt against the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football.
