  • Elevated Saturday

    Ammendola was elevated to the Texans' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: This will mark Ammendola's fourth consecutive game as Houston's kicker. He has gone 3-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 9-of-9 on extra-points. The anticipation is Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) will be activated next week as the team's eighth and final designated return. Thus, this should be Ammendola's final elevation.

  • Back on Houston's practice squad

    Ammendola signed with Houston's practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) still on injured reserve for at least one more week, Ammendola is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to serve as Houston's kicker Sunday against the Broncos. Ammendola was waived from the Texans' active roster Monday after missing both of his field-goal attempts in a 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12, though one of the misses was a 58-yard attempt that caromed off the crossbar in the final minute of the fourth quarter.

  • Cut by Houston

    The Texans waived Ammendola on Monday.

    Analysis: The move, which occurred after Ammendola missed both of his field-goal tries and all three of his point-after attempts in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars, opens room on the roster for defensive end Derek Barnett, whom the Texans claimed off waivers Monday. However, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston notes that Ammendola is expected to join Houston's practice squad, assuming he clears waivers. If that's the case, Ammendola could remain the Texans' kicker for its Week 13 matchup with the Broncos…read more

  • Misses two from long distance

    Ammendola missed both of his field-goal attempts and made three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars in Week 12.

    Analysis: Two missed field goals in a one-score game loom large, although each were from deep. Ammendola was wide right from the 50 near the end of the first half, then hit the crossbar on an attempt to the tie the game from 58 yards out with 29 seconds left. Ammendola, who is filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), has missed his last three FGA.

  • Misses lone FGA

    Ammendola missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 11.

    Analysis: Ammendola was wide left from 48 yards out in the third quarter, his first miss in four tries since becoming the fill-in placekicker for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). There were other potential scoring opportunities, but quarterback C.J. Stroud threw two red-zone interceptions in the second half. The Texans are tied for fourth in the NFL with 24 field-goal attempts, so there's potential fantasy value to starting Ammendola. The kicking duties figure to remain his at through Week 13, at minimum.

  • Signs with active roster

    The Texans signed Ammendola to their active roster Saturday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Ammendola will operate as Houston's kicker in Week 11 after signing with the team's active roster Saturday. The 26-year-old had no problems stepping in for the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) last week, as he converted on all six of his attempted kicks (three field goals and three extra points).

  • Finds new opportunity

    The Packers signed Ammendola to their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: After having suited up for both Kansas City and Arizona earlier this season, Ammendola is now slated to serve as Green Bay's backup kicker behind Mason Crosby. The 26-year-old has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts across his four game appearances this year.

  • Stint with Arizona over

    The Cardinals waived Ammendola on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: In a corresponding move, DeAndre Hopkins was reinstated from his six-week suspension. The move suggests regular starting kicker Matt Prater (hip) is nearing a return ahead of Thursday's game versus New Orleans, but Arizona will now have to find another option if that's not the case.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Cardinals signed Ammendola to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Ammendola handled kicking duties in place of Matt Prater (hip) for Arizona this past Sunday, when he converted one of two field-goal tries and both his extra-point attempts in a 20-17 loss to Philadelphia. The team's decision to sign Ammendola to the active roster Wednesday likely hints that Prater isn't trending toward playing Week 6 versus Seattle.

  • Heads back to practice squad

    Ammendola reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Ammendola signed with Arizona's practice squad last Tuesday and was activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles with starting kicker Matt Prater (hip) sidelined. After making both his PATs and a field goal during the first four quarters against Philadelphia, the 25-year-old missed a game-tying 43-yard field-goal attempt with 22 seconds remaining. Ammendola has now gone 4-for-6 on field-goal tries and 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts over three games with Kansas City and Arizona this…read more

  • Will suit up vs. Philadelphia

    Arizona activated Ammendola from its practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: With regular starting kicker Matt Prater (hip) out, it's Ammendola that will handle kicking duties for the Cardinals in Week 5. He has converted on 75 percent of his field-goal tries and 75 percent of his point-after attempts through two games in 2022.

  • Handling Week 5 kicking duties

    Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed Wednesday that Ammendola will be elevated from the practice squad and will handle kicking duties Sunday against the Eagles, Kevin Parrish Jr. of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Expect Arizona to officially promote Ammendola to the 53-man roster Saturday while he steps in this weekend as a replacement for Matt Prater (hip), whom Kingsbury has already ruled out for Sunday's contest. Ammendola previously filled in for an injured Harrison Butker in two games with the Chiefs earlier this season, converting three of four field-goal attempts and three of four extra-point tries.

  • Joins Arizona's practice squad

    The Cardinals signed Ammendola to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Ammendola recently filled in for Harrison Butker (ankle), but after he missed a field goal and an extra point in his second game, the Chiefs opted to go with practice-squad kicker Matthew Wright and terminated Ammendola's contract. However, the Oklahoma State product quickly got another opportunity with the Cardinals, who may be without Matt Prater (hip) for Week 5.

  • Let go by Chiefs

    The Chiefs terminated Ammendola's practice squad contract Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: In Kansas City's 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday, Ammendola -- who was filling in for Harrison Butker (ankle) -- missed one of his two field-goal attempts and his lone extra point try. Per Sweeney, the Chiefs may sign another kicker in the coming days to provide insurance in case Butker isn't ready for Week 4 action.

  • To fill in for Butker again

    Ammendola is slated to be the Chiefs' placekicker Sunday at Indianapolis with Harrison Butker (ankle) unavailable for a second game in a row, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Butker sprained his left ankle in the season opener and hasn't practiced or played in the meantime. Ammendola filled in for the six-year pro Week 2 against the Chargers, making both field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries. Considering he's attached to the high-power Kansas City offense, Ammendola is a decent fill-in option for as long as Butker is sidelined.

  • Fills in admirably in Week 2

    Ammendola nailed two of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 27-24 victory versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ammendola made a spot appearance for the Chiefs with Harrison Butker (ankle) out of commission Thursday and made the most of the opportunity. While Kansas City may move on from him once Butker is clear of injury, Ammendola likely will stick around on the team's practice squad until Butker is healthy.

  • Up from practice squad

    The Chiefs elevated Ammendola from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: With Harrison Butker out with a left ankle injury, Ammendola will handle Kansas City's kicking duties Thursday, which gives him some Week 2 fantasy streaming appeal while he's supported by a Patrick Mahomes-led offense. Butker will target a potential return to action Week 3 in Indianapolis.

  • Will kick for Chiefs on Thursday

    Ammendola is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Chiefs during Thursday's matchup against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs have ruled Harrison Butker (ankle) out for the contest, so Ammendola, who was signed to the practice squad Monday, will get an opportunity to make his Kansas City debut. The Oklahoma State product attempted 19 field goals for the Jets in 2021, making all 11 of his tries within 40 yards but just two of eight tries from 40-plus yards. He lacks Butker's experience and reliability, but Ammendola will benefit from being attached to one of the top offenses in football, making him a viable…read more

  • Cut by Jets

    The Jets have waived Ammendola.

    Analysis: Ammendola was the Jets' kicker through the team's first 11 games last season before giving way to Eddy Pineiro. Though Ammendola inked a reserve/future contract with New York on Jan. 10, he's now the odd man out, with both Pineiro and Greg Zuerlein currently under contract with the franchise.

  • Remaining with Jets

    Ammendola signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

    Analysis: Ammendola began the season as New York's kicker and went 13-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on PATs before being cut in early December. He stuck around on the practice squad and will hope to get another opportunity in 2022.

  • Added to Jets' practice squad

    Ammendola was added to the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The kicker was waived by the Jets on Saturday, but he will return to the team's practice squad after going unclaimed. In 11 games this season, Ammendola has gone 13 for 19 on field goals, and 14 for 15 on PATs. He is likely to remain on the practice squad for the time being, as the Jets just signed Eddy Pineiro to the active roster Monday.

  • Let go by Jets

    Ammendola was waived by the Jets on Saturday.

    Analysis: Ammendola has had an inconsistent rookie season, knocking in only 68 percent of his field goals and 93 percent of his extra points. He's particularly struggled of late, converting only three of six field-goal attempts across his last two games. Ammendola should get another opportunity, though he may have to sign with a team's practice squad initially.

  • Another miss in win

    Ammendola made two of three field-goal attempts and converted his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Ammendola sandwiched a 42-yard miss in between makes from 31 and 37. Coach Robert Saleh hinted earlier that the Jets could bring in a different kicker if Ammendola's accuracy issues persist, and the rookie didn't make a strong case for keeping his job with this performance.

  • Job on notice

    Ammendola could be at risk of losing his spot on the roster after head coach Robert Saleh hinted at the possibility of the Jets working out other kickers this week, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Ammendola missed field-goal attempts of 55 and 40 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins and now has missed four kicks in total over the past five weeks. Given the struggles of the Jets offense to consistently produce touchdowns on a weekly basis, having a reliable option in the kicking game is essential, and Ammendola's 69 percent success rate on field-goal attempts isn't getting the job done. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old rookie, he doesn't have an NFL track record to fall back on,…read more

  • Misses twice in loss

    Ammendola made one of three field-goal attempts and both of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ammendola hit the upright from 55 yards out with the game tied at seven late in the first half, showcasing his strong leg with excellent distance but also his poor accuracy. There was no silver lining when he missed again from 40 yards out in the third quarter, but at least Ammendola converted from 35 yards out in the final minute. Though the Jets have an appealing matchup in Week 12 against the Texans, Ammendola will be tough to trust considering he's just 11-for-16 on field-goal attempts this…read more

  • Just one FG attempt again

    Ammendola made a 48-yard field goal on his only attempt and added a pair of PATs in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Quarterback Mike White turned back into a pumpkin with four interceptions, and the Jets mustered just three points over the first three quarters after totaling 64 over the previous two games. This offense is too inconsistent to trust Ammendola in standard formats most weeks.

    Published: Sun, Nov 14 at 5:55pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Accurate in Thursday's loss

    Ammendola made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 45-30 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Ammendola's make came from 33 yards out. The Jets have averaged 32 points in their last two games, so perhaps the rookie kicker will get more work moving forward. Ammendola has converted nine of 12 field-goal attempts through eight games.

    Published: Fri, Nov 5 at 8:41am by Rotowire.com

  • Two short makes, one long miss

    Ammendola made two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Ammendola was nowhere close on a 54-yard attempt in the second quarter, but he made a pair of 24-yard chip shots in the second half. The score dictated that the Jets go for two after each of their last two touchdowns, keeping Ammendola off the field. New York's offense came alive in Mike White's first career start at quarterback, but we'll need to see this level of success turn into a trend before recommending Ammendola for fantasy purposes.

  • Misses long FG attempt

    Ammendola missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt and made his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 54-13 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Ammendola fell to 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts in his young career. New York was down by 18 after scoring its second touchdown and thus elected to go for two in an attempt to make it a two-possession game. Ammendola's opportunities remain limited by the Jets' offensive struggles, and the outlook moving forward will get even bleaker if injured quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) has to miss additional time.

  • Misses PAT but hits two kicks

    Ammendola connected on both of his field-goal attempts but missed his only PAT try in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: The Jets got off to another painfully slow start, but Ammendola finally got them on the board with a 31-yard field goal 2:14 before halftime. He missed the PAT after the Jets finally got into the end zone after halftime, prompting New York to go for two after its subsequent touchdown, though Ammendola made amends by converting a 49-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

  • OT field goal stands up as winner

    Ammendola connected on both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: Ammendola didn't face a high degree of difficulty on any of his kicks, with his field goals coming from 27 and 22 yards out. The latter gave the Jets the lead in overtime and held up as the winner when Titans kicker Randy Bullock pulled his 49-yard attempt wide. Ammendola's still tough to trust considering New York's offense mustered only six points over the previous two games combined, but this was an encouraging performance from that unit.

  • Doesn't get off bench in Week 3

    Ammendola didn't attempt a kick in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Jets have scored just 20 points through three games, and Ammendola hasn't attempted a single field goal or PAT in two of those contests. The rookie kicker finds himself on arguably the least fantasy-friendly team in the league for his position.

  • First career makes, miss in loss

    Ammendola connected on two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: After being held without an attempt in his NFL debut, Ammendola made his first career field-goal try from 21 yards out in the second quarter. He later hit the upright from 53 yards out but bounced back by connecting on a 35-yarder. The Jets have just 20 points through two games, so Ammendola will be tough to trust in Week 3, even in the kicker-friendly Denver altitude.

  • Used as punter in debut

    Ammendola didn't attempt a field goal or extra point in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Ammendola was surprisingly busy despite his lack of field-goal attempts, as he was called upon to fill in as the punter after Braden Mann suffered a knee injury in the first quarter. The rookie kicker racked up 291 yards on six punts for a respectable average of 48.5 yards, but game score dictated that the Jets should go for two after both of their touchdowns. Ammendola will look to be more involved in his traditional kicking role against the Patriots in Week 2.

  • Near lock for starting job

    Ammendola connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and added a pair of PATs in Saturday's 23-14 preseason win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Ammendola capped the opening drive with a make from 54 yards out, and he added successful attempts from 46 and 30 yards out in the third quarter. With Chris Naggar having been released by the Jets after his poor performance in the preseason opener, Ammendola is the only kicker currently with the team, and his strong showing here has likely solidified the Oklahoma State product's spot on the Week 1 roster barring an injury or a complete meltdown in the preseason finale against Philadelphia.
