Prater made his lone extra-point attempt during the Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Prater was only asked to come out for the extra-point try following the Bills' second touchdown of the fourth quarter, but he was otherwise reserved for kickoff duties. The veteran kicker has not made a field goal in three of his last four games, and for the season he has gone 12-for-14 on field-goal attempts and 26-for-27 on extra-point tries through nine regular-season games.

Prater missed his only field-goal try and went 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Prater was unable to extend Buffalo's lead to two scores late in the fourth quarter, hitting the right upright on a 52-yard field-goal try with 27 seconds left in regulation. The kicker hadn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 3 prior to Sunday's miscue. On the year, the 41-year-old has now gone 12-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 25 of 26 PATs over eight games.

Prater (right calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
The 41-year-old logged three consecutive limited sessions during the Bills' week of practice due to a calf injury, but it now appears that he'll play through the issue in Week 9. Expect Prater to serve as the Bills' top placekicker Sunday.

Prater (right calf) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Prater has logged consecutive limited sessions to begin preparations for Sunday's home game against the Chiefs. Tyler Bass (hip) remains on injured reserve and hasn't had his window to return to practice opened yet, so Prater's set to remain Buffalo's kicker in Week 9 if healthy enough to play.

Prater was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury in his kicking leg.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Prater sustained the injury, though it was likely during the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers, when he made all six of his kicks (two field goals and four PATs). He has served as the Bills' starting kicker through the first seven games of the regular season due to Tyler Bass (hip) being on injured reserve, and Buffalo does not currently have a place kicker on the practice squad. Prater will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and went 4-for-5 on point-after tries during the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Prater scored the Bills' first six points of the game with field goals from 45 and 43 yards in the first half. His first extra-point try in the second quarter sailed wide left, but he was perfect on his next four PATs. Prater has done a serviceable job as the Bills' placekicker as Tyler Bass remains on injured reserve due to a left hip/groin injury. Prater has gone 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.

Prater did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Prater went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, previously having notched multiple attempts in four of five games to open the year. With Tyler Bass (hip) still unable to return to practice, Prater seems likely to remain the team's starting kicker following Buffalo's bye week in Week 7.

Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up. Prater is now 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts in 2025, and he has made every kick in four of five games this season. With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.

Prater made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Prater connected on a 35-yard field goal with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter, accounting for the final three points of the day for Buffalo. The kicker has now gone 8-for-9 on field-goal tries over four games this year, including a make from 52 yards in Week 2 against the Jets.

Prater went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made four PATs in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Prater was unable to remain perfect in 2025, missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the second quarter. He later redeemed himself, connecting on a 48-yard field goal to put the Bills up 31-21 with 22 seconds remaining in the game. Prater has now made seven out of eight field-goal tries and all nine of his PATs over three contests with Buffalo this season.
