The Ravens placed Loop (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Loop emerged from Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills with a right groin injury, which will keep him out for at least the next four games. Baltimore plans to elevate or sign Jake Moody off its practice squad to take over as its kicker beginning with Thursday's game against Jacksonville. Through Baltimore's first eight contests, Loop went a perfect 18-for-18 on point-after attempts but missed four of his 17 field-goal tries.

The Saints released Carlson on Tuesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

After winning the Saints' kicking job coming out of the preseason, Carlson proceeded to miss six kicks -- four field goals, two extra points -- through the team's first seven games. Coming out of a Week 8 bye, the Saints have opted to move on from Carlson. New Orleans doesn't currently have another kicker on its 53-man roster, but Charlie Smyth could be elevated or signed off the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the team's next game Sunday versus the Browns.

Myers missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one of two PATs in Monday night's 34-17 loss to the Bears.

Myers converted a chip-shot 27-yard field goal in the second quarter but later missed an extra point wide to the left before halftime. He then had a 33-yard field-goal try blocked in the fourth quarter. On the season, the veteran kicker is 14-for-16 on FGAs and 17-for-19 on PATs. He'll be a kicker to stream next Sunday at home against the Cardinals.

Santos made both field-goal tries and all four PATs in Monday night's 34-17 win over the Seahawks.

Santos made 44- and 38-yard field goals in the second quarter. It was a nice bounce-back game for the veteran kicker after he'd missed a field-goal try in each of the previous three games. For the season, Santos is 13-for-17 on FGAs and a perfect 25-for-25 on PATs. Being attached to the Bears offense makes Santos an attractive fantasy kicker.

Folk went 0-for-1 on field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.

The kicker missed wide left from 53 yards out in the first quarter. It was difficult for the Atlanta offense to move the ball in rainy conditions. Folk has failed to connect on four field-goal tries and an extra point in 2026.

Reichard missed his sole field-goal attempt and made his sole PAT in the Vikings' 19-15 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Reichard missed a 57-yard field goal on the first drive of the game. The kicker's miss proved costly as the Vikings lost a four-point game that went down to the wire. Reichard is now 18-for-20 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-10 on PATs through seven regular-season games in 2026.

Shrader made his sole PAT in the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Shrader did not have a very active night, making the sole kick he was called upon for. Shrader is now 14-for-15 on PATs while remaining 19-for-21 on field-goal attempts through eight regular-season games in 2026.

Borregales made one of his two field goals and all three PATs in the Patriots' 24-19 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Borregales missed a 40-yard field goal during the Patriots' last drive of the first half. The kicker continues to struggle in the intermediate range, now 7-for-10 on field-goal attempts from 30-49 yards out during the 2026 regular season.

Elliott went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and hit his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

Elliott clanged a 41-yard attempt off the left upright in the fourth quarter. It was the veteran's first miss of the season, but the Eagles are simply not giving him enough scoring chances to keep him relevant in fantasy football.

McPherson made all five extra-point attempts in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Titans.

For the second straight week, the Bengals' kicker did not attempt a field goal but connected on all five of his extra-point tries. He's certainly getting scoring attempts in the high-flying Bengals offense, though a few more field-goal tries would boost his fantasy value.
