Dawson (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The limited work was a positive step for Dawson, who has been nursing the hip issue since Week 8 and was held out of Wednesday's practice session because of it. The injury has yet to force an absence this season, and with the Cardinals having yet to add another kicker to the roster, the current expectation is that Dawson will be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Dawson missed Wednesday's practice with a right hip injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since picking up the issue during Week 8 prep, Dawson has hit all three point-after tries and his sole field-goal attempt (a 31-yarder) across two games. Although he's proved his ability to play with a compromised hip, his production has been lacking (2.9 points per game) in support of the Cardinals' 31st-ranked scoring offense (13.8 points per game).

Dawson converted both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson logged another accurate performance, and has not missed a kick since Week 4. Despite his reliability, the 41-year-old is not receiving the volume necessary to put up fantasy points. Dawson will see a favorable matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, and attempt to bounce back.

Dawson converted his only field goal and made his lone extra point attempt during Sunday's 18-15 win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson has now made four of six field goal attempts in 2018, and remains perfect on extra point tries with 12 converted. Despite his accuracy, the 41-year-old remains off the fantasy radar due to low volume in Arizona's middling offense. He'll look to bounce back after a Week 9 bye.

Dawson (hip) is listed as active Sunday versus the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson surprisingly was included on the Cardinals' injury report Thursday, which was followed by the signing of kicker Matt McCrane to the practice squad Friday as an emergency option. After the Cardinals opted not to make a 53-man transaction before Saturday's deadline, Dawson was more or less expected to be available Week 8. While he has just 20 points to his name in seven games this season, he could bust that trend against San Francisco's 31st-ranked scoring defense (31.1 points per game).

Dawson (hip) is expected to be ready for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals signed kicker Matthew McCrane to the practice squad Friday, but opted not to signed him to the 53-man roster prior to Saturday's transaction deadline. The veteran kicker is still officially considered questionable, but appears to be on track to play against San Francisco.

Dawson (hip) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's apparently some level of concern about Dawson missing the contest, as the Cardinals signed kicker Matthew McCrane to their practice squad Friday, per Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site. A promotion to the active roster before Sunday would suggest Dawson isn't on track to play. Whatever the case, there's little reason for fantasy owners to start a kicker attached to an offense playing this poorly.

Dawson didn't practice Thursday due to a right hip injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no word on the Cardinals holding tryouts for an interim kicker, so this may just be a day of rest for the 43-year-old. Expect Friday's injury report to impart whether Dawson is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Dawson converted his lone field-goal and extra-point attempts in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson got off to a solid start with a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter, but the Cardinals offense found little breathing room most of the evening. The 43-year-old has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 11 extra points through the first seven games as his scoring opportunities remain minimal with Arizona's struggling offense.

Dawson made his only field-goal attempt and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Dawson converted from 26 yards on his lone field-goal effort. The 43-year-old is only averaging two points per game amid Arizona's rough offensive start to the season.
