  • Hits two FGs in Week 15

    Grupe converted 2 of 2 field-goal attempts and was 1 for 1 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-19 defeat against Washington.

    Analysis: Grupe bounced back after going 0 for 2 on field-goal tries last week. The second-year kicker knocked through field goals on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, first hitting from 41 yards out before hitting again from 51 yards. Grupe has now converted 22 of 26 field-goal tries this season, and he's gone 14-for-16 on attempts of 40-plus yards. The Saints will next play versus the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

  • Misses two FGs in win

    Grupe went 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Grupe failed to convert two field-goal tries of 50-plus yards, first missing wide left on a 53-yarder in the first quarter. He then had a 60-yard attempt blocked as time expired at the end of the first half. The second-year kicker has been steady this season, and he'd previously done well from long distance, going a perfect 5-for-5 on tries of 50-plus over the first 12 games. However, Grupe's struggled as of late with three missed field-goal tries over the last two weeks. He'll look to bounce…read more

  • Hits two 54-yard field goals

    Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Grupe was unsuccessful on a 36-yard field-goal attempt on the first play of the second quarter, but that was sandwiched between two successful 54-yard field-goal tries, the second which took place on the final play of the first half. Grupe is a perfect 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards, and on the year, he's converted 20 of 22 field-goal tries and 26 of 28 extra-point attempts through 12 regular-season games.

  • Hits five PATs versus Browns

    Grupe connected on five point-after tries during Sunday's 35-14 victory versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Grupe never got a chance to attempt a field goal as the Saints' offense rolled against Cleveland. The second-year kicker has now converted all but one of his kicking attempts over the last six weeks, missing just one field-goal try Week 8 versus the Chargers. With New Orleans on bye Week 12, Grupe's next opportunity to play will come versus the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1.

  • Nails both FGs in Week 10

    Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 victory against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Grupe put the Saints on the board with a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter, and he scored the team's final three points with a 26-yarder in the third quarter. The second-year kicker has missed just one of his 19 field-goal attempts through the first 10 games of the season. Lately New Orleans' offense has not been nearly as hot as it was to start the year, but Grupe's surefire efficiency makes him a reliable backup option or waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues. He'll look to remain…read more

  • Nails all three field goals Week 9

    Grupe connected on 3 of 3 field goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 23-22 defeat against Carolina.

    Analysis: Grupe bounced back after missing a field-goal attempt for the first time this season during last week's loss to the Chargers. The second-year kicker hit field goals of 29 and 33 yards in the first quarter before hitting a 51-yarder in the third quarter. This final try was also his first field-goal attempt of 50-plus yards since Week 1 versus Carolina. Grupe has now gone 16-for-17 on field-goal tries and he's made all but two PATs this season. He'll look to be perfect one again during this…read more

  • Misses FG attempt Week 8

    Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Grupe missed a field goal for the first time this season, pushing a 44-yard attempt wide right during the fourth quarter. The second-year kicker still made field-goal tries of 40 and 43 yards, and he's now gone 13-for-14 on FGAs while making all but two of his 20 PATs through eight games. Grupe will look to make all of his tries during next week's game at Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 3.

  • Logs one field-goal try Week 7

    Grupe connected on his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Thursday's 33-10 loss versus Denver.

    Analysis: The Saints' offense struggled due to starting quarterback Derek Carr being sidelined for the second week in a row. New Orleans scored 27 points during the second quarter of last week's loss to Tampa Bay, but it's scored just 10 points in seven other quarters over the last two games. Nevertheless, Grupe has converted all 11 of his field-goal tries through seven contests this season, and his only misses have come on two of 20 PATs. Grupe will look to remain perfect from the field when the Saints…read more

  • Converts two FGAs in Week 6

    Grupe connected on both field-goal attempts and was 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 51-27 defeat versus Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Grupe saw his workload bump back up after attempting just one field goal over the previous two contests. The second-year kicker hit field-goal tries of 42 and 29 yards in the second quarter, and he's now converted all 10 of his FGAs and all but two of his 19 PATs through the first six games of the season. Grupe and the Saints' offense will look to put up another strong outing versus the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.

  • Misses second PAT versus Chiefs

    Grupe converted on 1-for-2 point-after tries during Monday's 26-13 loss against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Grupe did not attempt a field goal for the first time this season, and he missed a PAT for just the second time. The second-year kicker has now logged just four field-goal tries since Week 1. After rolling to back-to-back blowout wins to start the season, the Saints' offense has sputtered over the past three games. This only figures to get worst with quarterback Derek Carr expected to miss multiple weeks due to an oblique injury sustained Monday night. Grupe will hope to see more opportunities…read more

  • Logs full practice Friday

    Grupe (right hip) practiced in full Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Considering Grupe followed up Thursday's absence with no practice limitations at all one day later, the DNP likely was for maintenance purposes. He's now set to handle place-kicking duties for the Saints on Monday at Kansas City, which so far has amounted to 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on point-after tries through four games.

  • Sits out practice Thursday

    Grupe was held out of Thursday's practice due to a right hip injury.

    Analysis: Grupe ranks fifth among NFL kickers with at least three appearances at 9.3 points per game, which is powered by 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries. He now has a health concern in tow, though, leaving his status up in the air ahead of Monday's game in Kansas City. The Saints have a kicker in Charlie Smyth on the practice squad, so there's a contingency plan in place in the event Grupe isn't able to suit up Week 5.

  • Perfect on kicking attempts Week 4

    Grupe nailed his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-24 defeat versus Atlanta.

    Analysis: Grupe has now converted all nine of his field-goal attempts through the first four games of the season. His only miss this year came on a blocked PAT during a 44-19 win against the Cowboys in Week 2. The second-year kicker is off to a good start after he went 30-for-37 on field-goal tries over 17 games last season. He'll look to keep it up during next week's road matchup against the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 7.

  • Hits two FGs in Sunday's loss

    Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-12 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Grupe connected on field-goal tries of 34 and 38 yards to remain perfect through the first three games of the season. The 5-foot-7 kicker didn't get any point-after tries Week 3, as the Saints came up short on a two-point conversion attempt following their lone touchdown of the game. Grupe has been one of the NFL's most productive kickers thanks to the Saints' high-scoring offense over the first two games of the year. This unit will look to get back on track during next Sunday's road matchup…read more

  • Has one PAT blocked Sunday

    Grupe nailed his only field goal attempt and five of six extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-19 victory versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Grupe's lone miss came when his extra-point attempt was blocked following the Saints' final touchdown of the game. The 26-year-old recovered with a 26-yard field goal for the final score of the game late in the fourth quarter. Through two games, Grupe has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts while converting all but one of his 11 PATs. He could have another productive outing if the Saints' offense continues to roll during next Sunday's home matchup versus the Eagles.

  • Nails all four field-goal tries

    Grupe was 4-for-4 field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on point-after tries during Sunday's 47-10 victory against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Grupe showed out with four made field-goal attempts that all came from 39 yards or beyond. This included a career-long 57-yarder in the first quarter, followed by a 44-yarder and a 52-yarder in the second quarter. Across 17 regular-season games in 2023, the second-year pro out of Notre Dame went 30-for-37 on field-goal tries and only 14-for-19 on attempts of 40 or more yards. Therefore, Grupe going 3-for-3 on such attempts Sunday is an encouraging sign for his production moving forward this…read more

  • Hits 52-yarder in loss

    Grupe went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone PAT in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Grupe hit a 52-yarder early in the third quarter, and he now gone 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries this preseason. The second-year kicker also went back to handling almost the entirety of the Saints' kicking duties after first-year player Charlie Smyth hit the game-winning field-goal attempt in the team's preseason opener. While the latter kicker handled New Orleans' first kickoff of the second quarter, his scant usage seems to indicate that there isn't a…read more

    Grupe knocked through 30 of 37 field-goal attempts and all 40 of his point-after-tries in 17 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: Grupe hit two field-goal tries and all six PATs during the Saints' regular-season finale, thus wrapping up his rookie campaign with six straight made field goals. The undrafted product out of Notre Dame won New Orleans' starting kicker job over veteran Wil Lutz this preseason, and, while the rookie was far from perfect, he made a solid impression with 70 total kicking conversions. He also went 16-for-18 on field-goal tries of 39 yards or less. Grupe will look to improve his consistency as a…read more

    Grupe converted on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 point-after tries during Sunday's 23-13 victory over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Grupe made a significant impact for the first time since the Week 12 loss to Atlanta. The rookie out of Notre Dame went just 1-for-2 on field-goal tries over the previous four contests, but he converted three field goals of 28 to 45 yards Week 17. Grupe also remained perfect on his 33rd and 34th PATs of the season, and he has now converted 28 of 35 field-goal tries over the first 16 games of his career. He'll look to finish his rookie season strong when the Saints vie for a potential playoff…read more

  • Makes two PATs in loss

    Grupe was 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Thursday's 30-22 defeat versus the Rams.

    Analysis: Grupe did not have much on his shoulders Week 16, as the Saints crossed into the red zone only once during Thursday's loss. New Orleans also fell behind 17-7 at halftime, and this ballooned out to a 30-7 deficit early in the fourth quarter. These combined factors likely affected Grupe's chances for any field-goal tries. The undrafted rookie has now gone a perfect 32-for-32 on PATs this season. He'll look for more field-goal opportunities during the Week 17 divisional matchup versus Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Grupe converted a 50-yard field goal try to put the Saints up 17-6 late in the third quarter. This marked the rookie's sixth made field goal of 50-plus yards this season, and he's now gone 3-for-6 from this range over the past nine games. Across 14 contests this season, Grupe has converted 25 of 32 field-goal tries while also knocking through all 30 of PATs. He'll look to finish strong over the final three games of the year, starting with this Thursday's matchup versus the Rams.

The undrafted rookie is now 24-for-31 on field-goal attempts this season, and he's gone 0-for-1 over the past two weeks.

  • Will play Week 14

    Grupe (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Carolina.

    Analysis: Grupe has been dealing with a groin injury over the past two weeks, but his ability to log a full practice all three days during Week 14 prep was a good indication that he'd be able to suit up. The rookie kicker knocked five field goals Week 12 against Atlanta, but his opportunities have otherwise been limited of late, as he's converted one or zero field goals in four of his past five contests.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Grupe (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Grupe was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday, but he'll take an injury designation into the weekend for the second game in a row nonetheless. The Saints waived kicker Austin Seibert from their practice squad Thursday, a likely indication that the team expects Grupe to be able to kick through the injury once again in Week 14.

    Analysis: Grupe continued to handle the Saints' kicking duties on both kickoffs and extra points/field goals after coming into the game questionable with a groin injury. The rookie out of Notre Dame has now knocked through all 23 of his PATs this season, and he's missed just six of 30 field-goal attempts through the first 12 games of his career.

    Grupe (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: Grupe was a limited participant at all three practices during Week 13 prep and was given a questionable designation, but the Saints didn't elevate Austin Seibert on Saturday, suggesting Grupe would be cleared to play. Grupe made five of six field-goal attempts versus Atlanta last week, and his lone miss came on a 54-yard try with just under 30 seconds remaining in the game. The rookie has made 24 of his first 30 field-goal attempts, with all six misses coming from beyond 40 yards.

    Grupe (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Grupe was a limited participant at all three of New Orleans' practices this week, so there's no strong indication of his availability one way or the other at this point. If he sits out his first game this season, the Saints could opt to elevate Austin Seibert from their practice squad to their active roster Sunday.

    Analysis: While Grupe has had practice restrictions so far this week due to a right groin injury, special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com on Thursday that he believes the kicker will be available Sunday versus the Lions. Still, Grupe may enter the weekend with a designation for that contest, which will become known when the Saints post their final Week 13 practice report Friday.

    Grupe was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a right groin injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Grupe is tending to the injury after he connected on five of six field-goal tries in this past Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons. The Saints signed Austin Seibert to their practice squad Monday, and he'll likely serve as the team's kicker this Sunday against the Lions if there's any concern about Grupe's ability to kick effectively with the injury this weekend.

    Analysis: Grupe logged a career-high six field-goal attempts in this injury-ridden outing for New Orleans' offense. With this unit unable to come through with touchdowns while in opposing territory, the team relied on its undrafted rookie kicker to hang in the game. Grupe's was perfect on his first five field-goal tries, which ranged from 25 to 52 yards.

    Analysis: Grupe got the Saints on the board by making a 48-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, but he never saw another opportunity to put the ball through the uprights, as New Orleans attempted two-point conversions on each of their touchdowns while trailing in the second half. Grupe has now gone 19-for-24 on field-goal tries while converting all 19 of his PATs.

    Analysis: Grupe hit the left upright on a 47-yard field goal attempt while the Saints were up 24-17 late in the fourth quarter. However, this miss didn't ultimately cost New Orleans, as the team recovered a strip-sack on the subsequent drive for the Bears, thus icing the game. Grupe also made his other four combined kicking attempts leading up to the late-game miss, and he's now converted 18 of his 23 field-goal tries and all 19 of his PATs this season. He'll look to avoid any more mistakes when the…read more

  • Perfect in Week 8 win

    Grupe made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-27 victory versus Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Grupe didn't see any difficult kicking attempts, as his lone field-goal try came from just 27 yards out to extend the lead to 38-27 in the final minute. The undrafted rookie missed three of his eight field-goal attempts over the previous two contests, so it's not to say that he's completely out of the woods yet. Grupe has now gone 17-for-21 on field-goal attempts while hitting all 16 of his PATs through eight games.

    Analysis: Grupe missed a 51-yard attempt on the Saints' first offensive drive, marking the second game in a row that he's missed a field goal after going 11-for-12 on field-goal tries over the first five weeks of the season. The undrafted rookie bounced back with three straight made field goals on attempts of 23, 35 and 42 yards over the remainder of Thursday night's loss.

  • Misses two key FGs in loss

    Grupe connected on two of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Grupe had the worst performance of his young career Sunday. After making all but one of his combined kicking attempts in four of the first five games this season, the undrafted rookie missed multiple field goals for the first time, narrowly misfiring on a 52-yarder in the first quarter followed by a bad miss on a 29-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. Grupe's misses ultimately caused the Saints to have to be more aggressive on their final trips into the red zone, resulting in a turnover on…read more

Grupe has now hit 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries so far this season. He'll look to remain…read more

    Grupe connected on 3-for-3 field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-9 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Grupe kept New Orlean's struggling offense within one score of Tampa Bay for much of the game, hitting field goals of 37, 32 and 44 yards in the first, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Aside from a missed 46-yarder Week 3 versus Green Bay, the undrafted product out of Notre Dame has hit all 15 of his combined kicking attempts so far this rookie season.

  • Pushes potential game-winner

    Grupe nailed one of two field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 18-17 loss against the Packers.

    Analysis: Grupe's first missed field goal of the season came at a bitterly crucial point for the Saints. The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame pushed a 46-yard attempt wide right with just over one minute left in the fourth quarter, thus allowing Green Bay to kneel out the remainder of the game and complete a 17-point comeback. Grupe has now converted all but one of 11 total kicking attempts three games into his career. He'll look to bounce back against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Oct. 1.
