Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) and CB Jonathan Jones (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 5, but are not on the injury report for Week 1. DE Dorance Armstrong (knee), PK Matt Gay (illness) and QB Marcus Mariota (Achilles) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Brown has been sidelined for months with a knee injury that the team hasn't said much about, but it sounds like he'll be ready to go for the season opener. This doesn't change the outlook of Deebo Samuel or Terry McLaurin, but it could help Jayden Daniels. |

Free-agent PK Matt Prater (Cardinals) was signed to the Buffalo Bills' practice squad Thursday, Sept. 4.
Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation as Prater could be called up for Week 1 against the Ravens. Bills K Tyler Bass is dealing with a groin injury that could keep him out of action. Last year, Prater was perfect (6-for-6) for the Cardinals before missing the rest of the season with a torn meniscus. |

Cleveland Browns PK Dustin Hopkins was released on Tuesday, Aug. 26, as the team cuts down to its 53-man roster.
Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Hopkins logged the worst season of his NFL career with Cleveland in 2024, converting just 18 of 27 field-goal attempts (67 percent) and 17 of 20 extra-point tries across 16 regular-season appearances. The team will instead opt to move forward with Andre Szmyt and potentially add further competition at the kicker spot. Fantasy investors would be wise to look elsewhere for their kicking spot. |

Link to storyNew England Patriots PKs Andres Borregales and John Parker Romo are battling for the starting placekicker job in training camp. Both players were 4-for-4 in full-team field-goal drills, and the two are 23-of-25 during training camp so far.
Link to storyNew York Jets PK Nick Folk appears likely to win the team's kicking competition versus Harrison Mevis, in the opinion of The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt.
Footballguys view: This could be a good fantasy kicker spot with the Jets strong defense and limited passing game. Folk is dependable and should be among your targets if you are taking your kicker in the last round. |

Baltimore Ravens PK Tyler Loop may have a slight edge over PK John Hoyland in the team's competition for the starting placekicker job based on draft position, in the opinion of Justin Robertson of BaltimoreRavens.com. Loop was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, while Hoyland was an undrafted rookie.
Link to storyFree-agent PK Justin Tucker (Ravens) was suspended by the NFL for the first 10 games of the 2025 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy on Thursday, June 26.
Footballguys view: There were 16 massage therapists that accused Tucker of sexual misconduct, and the Ravens let their long-time kicker go back in May. The NFL investigated this situation for months, and they've decided to suspend him for over half the 2025 season. There is a chance some team adds him before training camp where Tucker could get work in the preseason. He will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11th. |

Baltimore Ravens PK John Hoyland has a chance to win the kicking duties over PK Tyler Loop, in the opinion of The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, who writes that Loop's struggles in offseason practices 'open[ed] the door' for Hoyland, and that the team 'could have a difficult decision' as to who to keep.
Link to storyNew York Jets PK Anders Carlson was released Wednesday, June 18.
Footballguys view: Carlson, a 2023 sixth-round pick with the Packers, kicked in five games for the Jets and went 8-for-10 on field goals. His release comes after the team signed Harrison Mevis, widely known as the â€"Thiccer Kicker.†Kicking was one of the many problems that plagued the Jets' 2024 campaign, with the club continuously rotating at the position as far into the year as January. A 6-foot, 242-pound kicker out of Missouri -- where he earned his infamous nickname -- Mevis made 20 of 21 attempts during the 2025 UFL season with the Birmingham Stallions. |

Link to storyNew York Giants PK Graham Gano appears to have a slight edge in the competition for against PK Jude McAtamney.

Indianapolis Colts PK Spencer Shrader, who was signed shortly before the team released PK Matt Gay, is set to battle undrafted free-agent PK Maddox Trujillo for the kicking duties in the preseason, but the job is Shrader's to lose, in the opinion of The Athletic's James Boyd. Shrader went 5-for-5 while splitting time with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs last season.
Footballguys view: As an undrafted rookie in 2024 who began his NFL career with the Colts before making two other stops last season, Shrader is still an inexperienced player, with only nine career extra point attempts and five career field goal attempts -- all of which he has made. We'll watch for more on this competition. |

Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Kyle Williams is a quick receiver with speed to flip the field on any catch. He'll have a chance to become a favorite target for QB Drake Maye this year. Williams begins his pro career as the no.3 receiver on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas. |
