  • Takes pay cut

    Lutz restructured his contract with the Saints on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Networkreports.

    Analysis: The veteran kicker actually took a bit of a pay cut, as he'll have a chance to earn back only half of the $1.5 million via incentives this season. Perhaps more importantly, this moves essentially assures the 28-year-old will at least be on the team entering the 2023 season after finishing this season 23-of-31 on field-goal tries, including 8-of-14 from attempts from 40-plus yards out. Lutz missed the entire 2021 season with an abdomen injury that resulted in core-muscle surgery.

  • Ends season on sour note

    Lutz missed both field goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 10-7 defeat to Carolina.

    Analysis: Lutz's streak of consistency over the second half of the season came to an end Week 18. The 28-year-old missed his first 44-yard field-goal attempt wide left early in the second quarter. Lutz also had a chance to put the Saints up 10-7 with under two minutes remaining, though this 55-yard attempt also went wide left after being tipped near the line of scrimmage. Lutz ends his career-worst 2022 campaign by converting 74 percent of his 31 field-goal tries while knocking through all 33 of his…read more

  • Nails 54-yarder in win

    Lutz went 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-10 victory over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Lutz split the uprights on a 54-yard attempt to put the Saints up 10-0 midway through the second quarter. This marked the 28-year-old's first attempt of 50 yards or more since Week 5, and he's now gone 4-for-5 on such attempts this season. Lutz will enter the final week of the 2022 campaign converting a career-low 79 percent of his 29 field-goal attempts, though he's been perfect on all 32 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

  • Knocks in another short FG

    Lutz converted his lone field-goal attempt and was 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Saturday's 17-10 victory over the Browns.

    Analysis: Lutz continued to hit his layups, as his four made field goals over the last three games have come from within 39 yards. The sixth-year kicker has not attempted a field goal beyond 40 yards since Week 12, and all four of his 50-plus-yard tries came over the first five games of the year. Lutz is now 21-for-27 on field-goal attempts and has been perfect on all 30 of his point-after tries in 2022. The Saints should once again rely on Lutz to convert short field goals Week 17 versus Atlanta.

  • Few opportunities Week 15

    Lutz did not attempt a field goal, and nailed all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-18 win versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Lutz was denied his best opportunities for field goals Week 15, as the Saints fumbled and turned the ball over on downs during two of their four trips within the Atlanta 30-yard line. Otherwise, New Orleans' offense came away with two touchdowns to tight end Juwan Johnson in the red zone. Lutz remained efficient, as he has now missed just one kicking attempt over the last six games. For the season, the 28-year-old has gone 20-for-26 on field-goal attempts while making all 28 of his point-after…read more

  • Back to full practice

    Lutz (illness) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session due to an illness, Lutz was back operating on all cylinders one day later, all but clearing him Sunday's matchup with the Falcons. On the season, Lutz sits in a tie for 20th among kickers with at least 12 appearance with the Broncos' Brandon McManus at 6.5 points per game.

  • Sidelined with illness

    Lutz didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but Lutz will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's game against Atlanta. The Saints don't have another kicker on the 53-man roster or practice squad, so any signing heading into the weekend would be an indication that Lutz isn't on track to play.

  • Reliable performance in MNF

    Lutz converted all three field goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Monday's 17-16 defeat to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Lutz's production benefited from the Saints' struggles to come away with touchdowns in the red zone, as he converted field goals of 38, 21 and 29 yards. The sixth-year kicker has now made 20 of his 26 field goals while converting all 25 of his point-after tries this season. Lutz has also failed to connect on just two kicking attempts since Week 4. The Saints are on bye Week 14, but he should see a healthy number of opportunities when the team takes on an Atlanta defense that ranks 29th in total…read more

  • One kicking attempt in shutout

    Lutz missed his only field goal attempt during Sunday's 13-0 loss versus the 49ers.

    Analysis: Lutz pushed a 48-yard field-goal attempt wide left with the Saints down 13-0 late in the third quarter. New Orleans' offense then failed to convert on either of their two red-zone trips in the fourth quarter, thus denying the 28-year-old any point-after tries. Lutz's one kicking attempt marks his season low, as the Saints were shut out for the first time in 2022 by the 49ers' aggressive defense. He will look to recover from this performance next week against the division-rival Buccaneers, which…read more

  • Nails all five kicking tries

    Lutz converted both of his field goal attempts and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-20 win against the Rams.

    Analysis: Lutz matched his total number of kicking attempts across his two previous outings, as the Saints' offense bounced back after scoring just two touchdowns in as many weeks. The 28-year-old also logged more than four total kicking attempts for the fifth time through 11 games, and he's now gone 15-for-20 on field-goal attempts while converting all 21 of his extra-point tries this season. New Orleans may trot out Lutz for more field goals if the team's offensive struggles pop back up against San…read more

  • Knocks through lone FG attempt

    Lutz converted his lone field-goal attempt from 44 yards and his only point-after try during Sunday's 20-10 defeat to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Lutz tied his season low in total kicking attempts as the Saints gained just 186 total offensive yards Sunday. The 28-year-old has now gone 15-for-20 on field-goal tries and made all 21 of his extra-point attempts this season, and he has converted all but one of his 12 field-goal attempts over the past six games.

  • Hits all three kicks

    Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Monday night's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Lutz converted from 33 and 37 yards on his field goals. The veteran now sports 62 points on the campaign, tying for the 10th-most at his position league-wide.

  • Busy in blowout win

    Lutz made one of two field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point tries during the Saints' 24-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Lutz made a 37-yard field-goal attempt early in the second quarter Sunday but missed a 38-yard attempt wide right in the closing seconds of the first half. The missed field-goal try didn't have a significant impact in the blowout win, and it was his first missed field-goal attempt since Week 4. Over the last four games, Lutz has converted eight of nine field-goal attempts while making all 13 of his extra-point tries.

  • Perfect on kicks Thursday

    Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making all four of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 42-34 loss to Cardinals.

    Analysis: Lutz was once again perfect Thursday, making two field goals in the contest. The first came in the third quarter from 25 yards and the other was a 45-yarder late in the fourth. Lutz was also able to go 4-for-4 on point-after attempts, improving to 16-for-16 on the year. The kicker has been a solid fantasy option this season and could be busy again when the Saints face the Raiders' uninspiring defense in Week 8.

  • Converts six attempts in loss

    Lutz went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: All four of Lutz's made field goals came on attempts between 30 to 39 yards, as the Saints' offense struggled in the red zone with starting wideouts Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all sidelined. The sixth-year kicker has now made nine of his 13 field-goal tries and all 12 of his PATs this season. Lutz could see fewer short field-goal attempts if New Orleans' wide receiver corps returns to full strength for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Given just one field-goal attempt

    Lutz converted his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Although the Saints managed to put up 39 points on the scoreboard in Week 5 against Seattle, Lutz registered just one field-goal try for the day, which came from 56 yards out at the 9:34 mark in the first quarter. The 28-year-old kicker is now just 5-of-9 on field-goals and 10-of-10 on point-after tries in 2022, and he'll look to produce again Sunday against the Bengals.

  • Doinks 61-yard attempt

    Lutz converted one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Lutz made all three of his kicking attempts before missing a 61-yard field-goal try on the left upright in the waning seconds of regulation. The 28-year-old did convert a 60-yard field goal to tie the game with just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Lutz, who made all but five of his 28 field-goal tries over 16 games in 2020 before missing last season due to injury, and he's now missed four of his eight field-goal attempts while converting all six PATs through four weeks of the 2022…read more

  • Misses two field goals in loss

    Lutz went 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Lutz had his first field-goal attempt blocked right before halftime and later missed a 48-yard try in the third quarter. The kicker is now 3-for-6 on field goals this year while going 4-for-4 on PATs. The Saints' offense has only scored 24 points over the last two weeks, leaving Lutz with limited opportunities to produce for fantasy managers.

  • Makes one FG in Week 2

    Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt from 31 yards and converted his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Lutz didn't get many opportunities in this defensive battle. As long as star running back Alvin Kamara is sidelined by a rib injury, the Saints may find it difficult to move the ball, thus limiting Lutz's volume.

  • Bounces back after early miss

    Lutz made two of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 27-26 victory over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Lutz' first field-goal attempt -- 44-yarder in the first quarter -- hit the left upright and was no good, but he bounced back and made his next two field goals. His first make was a 49-yard attempt in the third quarter that cut Atlanta's advantage to 16-10, and he gave the Saints' a one-point lead after drilling a 51-yard field goal with 30 seconds left in regulation. Lutz underwent core-muscle surgery in August 2021 that kept him sidelined for the entire campaign, but he looks to have shaken…read more

  • Shows impressive range

    Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point attempt in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Lutz underwent core-muscle surgery in August of 2021 that kept him sidelined for the entirety of the campaign. He showed no signs of rust Friday, converting a 59-yard field-goal attempt at the close of the first quarter. Lutz has a strong track record of being an accurate kicker and appears to be back to form and ready for the regular season.

  • Gains medical clearance

    Lutz (abdomen) announced Monday he has been cleared to return to game action, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Lutz was forced to sit out the entire 2021 season after undergoing core-muscle surgery last August, and his absence as a steadfast presence was notable for New Orleans' offense. Getting Lutz back in action as the starting placekicker will be a notable boost for the Saints for the 2022 campaign.

    Lutz (abdomen) is expected to be ready for the 2022 season, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The longtime New Orleans kicker missed the entire 2021 campaign after undergoing core-muscle surgery in August and then suffering a setback in his recovery. While it's not certain how close Lutz is to returning to the field, he again seems on track to serve as the Saints' placekicker in 2022, especially after Brett Maher was let go last week.

    Lutz announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he had a setback in his recovery from core-muscle surgery and won't play in 2021.

    Analysis: Lutz underwent the procedure in early August. Last week, the Saints designated him to return from injured reserve in the hope that he would be ready to kick for the team by midseason. Unfortunately for Lutz he hit a snag in his recovery, prompting him to rule out a return in 2021. He'll revert to injured reserve for the rest of the season once his 21-day evaluation window officially comes to a close in early November, paving the way for Brian Johnson to handle kicking duties for the Saints…read more

  • Not returning Monday

    The Saints didn't activate Lutz (core) from injured reserve Monday, making him ineligible to play Week 8 at Seattle, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Lutz was designated to return from IR last Monday, but one week wasn't enough for him to get back to 100 percent from the core muscle surgery he underwent in early August. He'll thus aim to be available Sunday against the Buccaneers, but in the meantime New Orleans will roll with undrafted rookie Brian Johnson at kicker.

    The Saints designated Lutz (abdomen) for a return from injured reserve Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reported earlier this month that Lutz was trending toward making his season debut next Monday in Seattle, but even though Lutz has been cleared to resume practicing this week, it's unclear if he'll be deemed fit for kicking duties. Since New Orleans signed Brian Johnson off the Bears' practice squad Oct. 12, he'll need to remain on the 53-man roster for at least three games. Ideally, the Saints wouldn't want to dedicate two roster spots to kickers, but that could come…read more

  • Week 7 return likely

    Lutz (abdomen) is only expected to be sidelined a few more weeks, making his likely season debut Week 7 in Seattle on Monday, Oct. 25, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Saints are among the four teams with a Week 6 bye, so if their belief comes to pass, Lutz actually will miss just five games as a result of the core muscle surgery he underwent in early August. The team has the ability to open a three-week window to practice by designating him to return from IR. When that happens, it may indicate an even more precise return to action. In the interim, though, New Orleans has moved on to its second kicker of the season, swapping Aldrick Rosas for Cody Parkey…read more

  • Week 4 debut unlikely

    The Saints aren't expected to activate Lutz (abdomen) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: For the first time all season, Lutz will be eligible to play this week, but since the Saints haven't even designated him for a return from IR, he looks like he'll need more recovering time. The 27-year-old kicker underwent core-muscle surgery in early August and was given an 8-to-12-week recovery timeline, so it wouldn't be surprising if he missed more games beyond Sunday's. Aldrick Rosas was signed off the practice squad in Lutz's absence and had been performing well before missed two field…read more

  • Goes to IR

    The Saints placed Lutz (core) on injured reserve Monday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: After undergoing core muscle surgery in early August, Lutz was expected to need 8-to-12 weeks to recover, meaning a move to IR was inevitable. While he can return as early as Week 4 against the Giants, his best-case scenario actually may be Week 5 at Washington. At the moment, the Saints don't have a kicker on the active roster, so they may be getting ready to elevate Aldrick Rosas from the practice squad on a weekly basis until Lutz is back in action.

  • Undergoing core muscle surgery

    Lutz will have core muscle surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Previous reports hinted at a recovery timeline of 8-12 weeks, essentially ruling Lutz out through September. He played all 16 games in each of his first five NFL seasons, and the Saints haven't been carrying another kicker at training camp. They'll likely look at a bunch of kickers in the coming days.

  • Could be out 8-12 weeks

    Lutz suffered a core muscle injury during Saturday's practice, and he now may need a surgery that would lead to an absence of eight weeks or longer, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune suggests the recovery timeline could be closer to 12 weeks, with Lutz needing longer than most players because he's a specialist. Lutz played every game in each of his first five NFL seasons, but with the reliable 27-year-old in danger of missing the first half of the upcoming campaign, the Saints figure to look at multiple free-agent kickers.

  • Cleared for practice

    The Saints removed Lutz (groin) fom the non-football injury list ahead of Wednesday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The Saints never expected Lutz to miss much time and didn't even bother signing another kicker while he was idle. The end of the Drew Brees era comes with some uncertainty, but Lutz is still a viable option at the end of fantasy drafts, as he's an accurate kicker who plays home games in a dome for what should be a competitive team.

    The Saints placed Lutz on the non-football injury list Wednesday with a "soft-tissue" issue, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: General manager Mickey Loomis relayed that he expects Lutz to have a "pretty quick" recovery, meaning he may not miss many practice reps at the beginning of training camp.
