  6. 06Nov 3John Sigler (Saints Wire)

    Report: NFL Ireland's Michael McQuaid says Charlie Smyth is expected to kick for the Saints after Daniel Carlson's release. The Saints could still add a veteran such as Riley Patterson or bring in a tryout kicker to push him.

  7. 07Nov 3Jeff Nowak (WWL)

    Projected: With no kicker on the 53, practice-squad K Charlie Smyth is the most likely option. He can be elevated up to three times before he would need to be signed to the active roster. Smyth went 12-for-16 in six games last season.

  9. 09Nov 3Katherine Terrell (ESPN)

    Kellen Moore does not plan to bring in kickers this week despite Daniel Carlson going 8-of-12 on field goals. Moore: "Obviously we just got to continue to evaluate the field goal opportunities." Charlie Smyth remains on the practice squad.
