Elliott made all three of his PAT attempts and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Elliott hasn't missed a kick all season, but he remains stuck on five field-goal attempts for the campaign, as the Eagles aren't moving the ball consistently but have found ways to punch in touchdowns when they get in scoring range. With Philadelphia banged up on offense and in the midst of a five-game losing streak, Elliott is facing some headwinds heading into a favorable Week 8 matchup on paper against the Commanders, who are giving up 28.7 points per game.

Aubrey made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Monday's 38-21 win over the Eagles.

Aubrey benefited from a bounce-back performance out of Dallas' offense, as he had been limited to one field-goal attempt and two PATs over the previous two games combined. Monday marked the third time Aubrey made three field goals in a game this season, as he connected from 55, 27 and 24 yards. Aubrey's likely to remain busy in Week 8 against the Cardinals, who are giving up a league-high 29.7 points per game.

The Rams signed Karty to the practice squad Wednesday.

The addition of Karty gives the Rams additional depth at the kicker position in case current starter Brandon McManus were to miss time. Karty was a sixth-round selection of the Rams in the 2024 NFL Draft but lost his starting job to Harrison Mavis in November of 2025 before eventually being waived by the team later in the month.

Head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Butker will "probably" serve as the Chiefs' kicker in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

The Chiefs signed veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad Wednesday, with the move seemingly calling into question Butker's job security. Though he didn't give Butker the strongest endorsement, Reid noted that the Chiefs believe that a technique problem rather than any physical ailment has contributed to Butker missing five field-goal and one extra-point attempt through the team's first six games, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The Chiefs are planning for Butker to get the bulk of the kicking reps in practice this week, and if he can assuage some of the concern about his technique, he'll suit up Sunday and look to solidify his standing atop the depth chart.

Gonzalez reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's practice squad.

Gonzalez was perfect in the Dolphins' first regular-season win in 2026. The kicker made all four of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Jets and is set to be elevated to the active roster again for the team's Week 8 game against the Patriots.

Head coach John Harbaugh reiterated Monday that he's confident in Zvada and said that the Giants have no plans to work out other kickers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Though the Giants escaped with a 27-21 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday, Zvada had his second rough performance in the past three weeks. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan was unable to connect on field-goal tries of 44 and 56 yards, giving him five misses on 18 attempts through seven games. The Giants are hoping that their upcoming Week 8 bye will give Zvada some time to iron out kinks and refine his approach before the team returns to action Nov. 8 versus the Eagles.

Butker went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday night's 20-3 loss to Seattle.

Butker was off his game again in Week 7, leaving a 58-yard attempt short as time expired in the first half before later missing a 45-yard try wide right in the fourth quarter. The kicker was able to convert one field-goal attempt Sunday, nailing a 50-yarder in the third quarter. Butker has now gone 11-for-16 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over the first six contests of the 2026 campaign.

Myers went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs during Sunday night's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

Myers was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game, converting a 25-yarder in the second quarter before later adding a 35-yard make in the second half. The kicker has now gone 14-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over the first seven games of the 2026 campaign.

Fitzgerald did not attempt a field goal and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fitzgerald went without a field-goal attempt for the first time in his two-year career, and to make matters worse, he registered his fifth missed PAT of the season. The kicker has now gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries while converting 12 of 17 extra-point attempts over six regular-season contests this year.

Zvada missed both of his field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-21 overtime win against Houston.

Zvada had a rough week, missing a 56-yard try in the first quarter before pushing a 44-yarder wide right in the second quarter. The kicker has now gone 4-for-9 on field-goal tries over the last three weeks, and he'll have a chance to reset during the team's bye week in Week 8.
