Hauschka made his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka made only three of five field goals in the preseason but nonetheless received a two-year extension in late August, and he looked just fine in Sunday's season opener. The 34-year-old's only field goal Sunday came from 43 yards. The Giants await the Bills in Week 2 after surrendering 35 points to the Cowboys.

Hauschka inked a two-year contract extension with the Bills on Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka is coming off an inconsistent 2018 season, in which he made only 22 of 28 field goals and 25 of 26 extra points, but coach Sean McDermott still appears confident in the veteran's starting capabilities and has locked him up for the foreseeable future. The 10-year veteran notched only 91 points last season, the lowest full-season total of his career, but his arrow seems to be pointing up with an improved Bills displaying new weapons.

Hauschka missed his only field-goal attempt Thursday against the Colts, a 34-yard attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka also barely snuck in an extra-point try while going 2-for-2 on PATs for the night. He's been a staple for the Bills the last two seasons, but after struggling badly down the stretch in 2018 -- he missed at least one field-goal try in the last four games he had an attempt -- he should probably start showing more consistency if he wants to remain a no-brainer decision for coach Sean McDermott again. Chase McLaughlin is in camp, and while the rookie doesn't pose much of a threat, you never know if Hauschka keeps missing,

Hauschka appears to be at 100 percent despite report of an ankle injury Wednesday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka was spotted Wednesday with a wrap on his left ankle, but apparently this is a practice the kicker employs regularly and isn't a cause for concern. While reports surfaced that he missed practice due to injury, it turns out he was merely just working with his private kicking coach. Multiple members of the Bills coaching staff have relayed that there are no longer issues related to the injury he battled near the end of last season.

Hauschka did not practice Wednesday due to an apparent left ankle injury, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Hauschka's injury remains uncertain. As long as the veteran remains sidelined, Chase McLaughlin stands to handle reps with the first team. Assuming Hauschka is able to resume practicing without missing much time, it's unlikely that McLaughlin will make a push for the starting job.

Hauschka, who played through a hip injury for part of the 2018 season, has been healthy while participating in the team's offseason conditioning program and spring practices, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The only competition for Hausch Money in camp will be undrafted free agent Chase McLaughlin, so the job will belong to the veteran barring something crazy happening. Hauschka only posted 91 points last season, the lowest of his career for any full campaign. The Buffalo offense should be improved after all kinds of money was spent this offseason, though we'll remind you this is still a defensive-oriented team that plays many of its games in windy or otherwise bad weather.

Hauschka made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka has been dealing with a hip injury the past couple weeks but has played through the issue. He's missed a couple kicks between 40 and 49 yards the past three weeks after being perfect from that range for a majority of the season. He's hitting a career-low 81 percent on field goals this season (22-for-27), which could in part be due to his hip injury. He'll look to finish the year strong against the Dolphins in Week 17.

Hauschka (hip) practiced fully for the second straight day Friday and is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game at New England.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills never seemed worried about their kicker being ready to go, especially after he worked through the injury in last week's win over the Lions. That said, there are plenty of better options than a guy kicking for a heavy underdog in December weather against a team that typically dominates home games.

Hauschka, who was limited Wednesday with a lingering hip injury, was back to a full practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Sean McDermott has said all along he trusts his kicker will be out there for Week 16, and Thursday's full practice pretty much seals that up. The bigger problem for fantasy owners is the matchup, a road game at New England, a team that's had the Bills' number as well as most other December visitors, for years.

Hauschka (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hauschka is nursing a hip injury of undisclosed severity, which he played through during last Sunday's win over the Lions. The veteran kicker does not yet appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots, but his participation in practice will be worth monitoring as the week progresses.
