Sauls made all four of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-17 Week 18 win over Dallas. He finished the campaign having gone 8-for-8 of FG attempts and 7-for-7 on PAT tries.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls was initially signed by Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent and also spent time with Atlanta before latching on with the Giants in mid-November. When veteran kicker Graham Gano (neck) landed on IR around the same time, New York first turned to Younghoe Koo, but Sauls eventually got his chance after Koo was cut in mid-December. In his three contests to close the campaign, Sauls didn't miss a kick, though it has to be noted that only one of his FG tries -- a successful 45-yarder to open the scoring this past Sunday -- came from 40 or more yards out. Still, Sauls did nothing to suggest he can't be a reliable NFL kicker, and he could begin next season in that role for the Giants if the team decides to part ways with the oft-injured Gano.

Sauls made both of his field-goal attempts and all four PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls' field goals came from 32 and 23 yards, and he's now perfect through two games as the Giants' kicker. Sauls has made all three of his field-goal tries and is 6-for-6 on extra points. He'll wrap up the 2025 season against Dallas in Week 18 next Sunday.

The Giants signed Sauls to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls made his NFL debut last Sunday against the Vikings, converting both of his field goal attempts and his sole extra-point try in the loss. The kicker will make his second start Sunday against the Raiders, this time as a part of the 53-man roster.

Sauls reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
After waiving Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, the Giants turned to Sauls to serve as the starting kicker against the Vikings on Sunday, when he made both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 39 yards while nailing his lone point-after try. Sauls will likely be elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of their Week 17 tilt against the Raiders.

Sauls converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old impressed during his NFL debut, making field goals of 27 and 39 yards while also converting his only point-after attempt. Following Sunday's performance, Sauls will likely remain the Giants' top placekicker in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

The Giants have elevated Sauls from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls is slated to start in Week 16 with New York having waived Younghoe Koo. Sauls, an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh, will thus make his NFL debut for the Giants on Sunday, though he's spent time with three organizations to date. Across his five-year collegiate career, Sauls managed a 81.3 percent field-goal conversion rate.

The Giants appear likely to sign or elevate Sauls from the practice squad to handle kicking duties Sunday versus the Vikings after the team waived Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following Koo's dismissal, Sauls is the only kicker remaining on New York's 53-man roster or practice squad, making him the logical choice to replace Koo unless the Giants opt to sign another kicker in the coming days. If he receives the nod for Week 16, Sauls would become the Giants' fourth full-time kicker this season. Since going undrafted out of Pittsburgh this spring, Sauls has been part of three different organizations but has yet to make his NFL debut. He converted field-goal attempts at an 81.3 percent clip over his five-year collegiate career.

The Giants signed Sauls to the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls is currently the fourth kicker employed by the G-Men, joining Graham Gano (neck), who is on the 53-man roster, and practice-squad members Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney. Sauls has never kicked in a regular-season game.

The Falcons cut Sauls from the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Falcons also released Parker Romo while signing Zane Gonzalez to the active roster, with the latter set to serve as the team's placekicker moving forward, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Sauls joined the Falcons' practice squad in late September after spending the offseason with the Steelers, though he wasn't able to beat out veteran Chris Boswell for a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Sauls -- an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh -- could get another opportunity with a team looking to bring in a placekicker for a kicking competition or as an injury replacement.

The Falcons signed Sauls to the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sauls was cut by the Steelers in late August after failing to beat out Chris Boswell for starting kicking duties in training camp. Saul's addition to the practice squad comes after head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the Falcons would bring in competition after Parker Romo went 0-for-2 on field goals in Atlanta's 30-0 loss to Carolina on Sunday, per Waack. Sauls went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts across three preseason games with the Steelers.
