Saints' Charlie Smyth: Reverts to practice squad Monday
The Saints reverted Smyth to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smyth was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 9 overtime win over Cleveland. He served as New Orleans' kicker in the contest and went 3-for-4 on FG tries while making both of his PAT attempts. That performance was likely good enough for Smyth to be elevated again for this Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Converts three FGAs in season debut
Smyth went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 23-22 overtime win against Cleveland.
Smyth was making his regular-season debut after being elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup versus the Browns. The kicker converted field-goal attempts from 30, 27 and 48 yards in the victory. Smyth's lone miss of the day came in the first quarter, when he pushed a 48-yard attempt wide right. The 25-year-old will almost certainly be elevated from the practice squad again ahead of the team's Week 10 contest against Carolina.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Officially elevated to kick Week 9
The Saints elevated Smyth from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
Smyth is set to take over as New Orleans' kicker beginning with Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, so the elevation was a necessary move. He'll be replacing Daniel Carlson, who was released Tuesday. The Browns have had 19 field-goal tries against them this season, tied for eighth-most in the NFL, so Smyth could be busy in his 2026 debut.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Officially taking over as kicker
Coach Kellen Moore announced Wednesday that Smyth will be the Saints' kicker in Week 9, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Smythe will take over for the recently released Daniel Carlson. A native of Northern Ireland, Smythe went 12-for-16 on field goals over six games for the Saints in 2025.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Set to kick for Saints in Week 9
The Saints plan to elevate or sign Smyth off their practice squad to handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Browns, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Daniel Carlson handled kicking duties for the Saints through their first seven games, but after he misfired on four field-goal tries and two extra-point attempts, he was released Monday. The Saints will now give Smyth another look, after he had served as their kicker in the final six games of last season before being cut loose following the preseason. Smyth fared well in his first taste of NFL action in 2025, going 12-for-16 on field goals and 13-for-13 on extra points, with two of his misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

Charlie Smyth: Signed to Saints' practice squad
Smyth was signed to the Saints' practice squad Monday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Smyth was waived by the team Sunday, but he ultimately went unclaimed, freeing him up to return to the team's practice squad. The kicker missed his only field-goal attempt, a 56-yard try, during the preseason with New Orleans. He did operate as the team's starting kicker for the final six regular-season games in 2025, going 12-for-16 on field-goal tries while making all 13 of his PATs. Smyth now will operate as a fallback option for the Saints if starting kicker Daniel Carlson doesn't work out in 2026.

Charlie Smyth: Loses kicking competition
Smyth was waived by the Saints on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Smyth served as the Saints' kicker for the final six games of the 2025 regular season, but he has failed to make the team heading into the 2026 campaign. Even with Smyth out of the mix, the Saints still have two options left at kicker in Daniel Carlson and Tanner Brown. Per Triplett's colleague Nick Underhill, the Saints intend to keep Smyth on the practice squad if another team doesn't sign him.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Saints add kicking competition
The Saints signed Daniel Carlson to a contract Monday, and Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports that the move indicates that Smythe may not be New Orleans' kicker for the upcoming season.
Smythe joined New Orleans in 2024 through the International Player Pathway and took over as the team's kicker over the final five games of the 2025 regular season, going 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries. However, Smythe was unable to separate himself from Tanner Brown in the kicking competition in training camp, and the Saints have elected add Carlson into the mix. The Saints should confirm who their kicker is for the regular season following Friday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: To face competition during camp
Smythe will enter training camp positioned to compete with Tanner Brown for the No. 1 kicker job, Luke Loffredo of USA Today reports.
Smythe started New Orleans' final six games of the 2025 season, going 12-for-16 on field-goal tries and making all 13 of his extra-point attempts. He first joined the Saints back in 2024 as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway. During training camp and the preseason Smythe will work to outperform Brown, who has spent time on various practice squads in the league (most recently the Rams and Falcons in 2024) but has yet to log a regular-season appearance.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Takes over as Saints' kicker late
Smyth went 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries across six games with New Orleans in 2025.
The Northern Irishman joined the Saints in May of 2024 as part of the league's International Player Pathway, but it wasn't until Week 13 of the 2025 season that Smyth made his NFL debut after Blake Grupe was waived by New Orleans in late November. Smyth made quite the NFL debut in Week 13 against the Dolphins, when he nailed his lone field-goal attempt from 56 yards before successfully converting on an onside kick in the fourth quarter. Smyth's most productive performance came in the Saints' Week 16 win against the Jets, when he went 5-for-6 on field goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries. The Saints may have found their franchise quarterback in second-round rookie Tyler Shough, and if he can take the next step in his development after a full offseason under head coach Kellen Moore, then Smyth would provide some intriguing fantasy value in 2026, especially with half of his games taking place indoors in the Caesars Superdome.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Makes two long FGAs in Week 17
Smyth went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans.
Smyth was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game. He missed a 43-yard try in the first quarter, but he rebounded well, converting attempts from 56 and 57 yards later in the contest. Smyth has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his extra-point attempts over five games with the Saints this season.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Active in Week 17
Smyth (illness) is active for Sunday's game in Tennessee.
Smyth capped Week 17 prep with a limited practice Friday due to an illness that left him questionable in advance of the weekend. Because the Saints don't roster a kicker on the practice squad nor did they sign a kicker to the active roster Saturday, he was in line to resume his standing as the team's placekicker Sunday, which has been confirmed. In four appearances for New Orleans so far, Smyth has netted nine of 11 field-goal attempts and all seven point-after tries.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Questionable for Week 17
Smyth (illness) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Smyth popped up on the practice report as a limited participant Friday due to an illness, so his status will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's road matchup. New Orleans doesn't have another kicker on the active roster or practice squad, so if the team doesn't make any signings at the position in advance of Sunday's game, it will be an indication that Smyth is on the right track.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Connects on five field goals
Smyth went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during the Saints' 29-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Smyth missed a 61-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter, but that was his only blemish on the day. He accounted for 17 of the Saints' 29 points, with three of his five field goals coming from within 40 yards. Smyth and the Saints agreed to terms on a three-year contract Saturday, and the Northern Irish kicker has gone 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-7 on point-after tries through four regular-season games.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Inks three-year deal with Saints
Smyth signed a three-year deal with the Saints on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland has served as the Saints' placekicker in each of their last three games, converting on four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. Following his new deal Saturday, Smyth is expected to remain New Orleans' top kicker for the foreseeable future.

Saints' Charlie Smyth: Officially signed to active roster
The Saints signed Smyth to the active roster Friday.
Smythe's signing comes as no shock, as the kicker had exhausted all of his practice squad elevations. As the kicker for the rest of the Saints' regular season, Smythe will start against the Jets, Titans, and Falcons. In a corresponding move, the Saints placed wide receiver Devaughn Vele (shoulder) on injured reserve.
