Vizcaino made both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 27-17 victory at the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals signed Vizcaino to the active roster Saturday before downgrading regular kicker Matt Prater (hip/illness) from questionable to out before Sunday's game. Vizcaino was perfect in his first appearance since Week 6 of the 2021 season as a member of the Chargers, and as long as he's employed by Arizona, he's a candidate to fill in for Prater.

Vizcaino will handle kicking duties for Arizona in Sunday's game against the Rams after Matt Prater (hip/illness) was downgraded from questionable to out for the contest, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Prater received a questionable tag Friday on the Cardinals' final Week 10 injury report, Arizona telegraphed that the veteran kicker wouldn't be available this weekend when Vizcaino was elevated from the practice squad Saturday after Prater didn't travel with the team to Los Angeles. Given that Prater has previously missed three games this season on account of the same hip issue, it's possible that he's dealing with a setback that could force him to miss additional time beyond Sunday's contest. A strong showing against the Rams would likely make Vizcaino the Cardinals' top option to step in at kicker if Prater ends up missing more games.

The Cardinals signed Vizcaino to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With regular starting kicker Matt Prater (hip) listed as questionable for Week 10, Vizcaino will possibly handle kicking duties for Arizona on Sunday. In 2021, he converted on a healthy 85.7 percent of his field-goal attempts but just 66.7 percent of his point-after tries.

The Patriots cut Vizcaino from their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Vizcaino will now search elsewhere for kicking opportunities, after he spent two separate stints on New England's practice squad since June in an emergency depth role.

The Patriots re-signed Vizcaino to the practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vizcaino has seven NFL appearances under his belt between the 49ers and Chargers, and he previously spent time on New England's practice squad this season. He's made nine of 10 field-goal attempts in his career.

The Patriots cut Vizcaino from their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vizcaino signed with New England in June, was cut loose at the 53-man roster deadline in August, and eventually re-signed with the team's practice squad in September. However, the 26-year-old was once again let go from New England's practice squad Tuesday, meaning he'll now search elsewhere for another chance to kick in the NFL.

Vizcaino was cut by the Patriots on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vizcaino was brought in by New England this June to provide extra depth at kicker this preseason. However, he was unsurprisingly unable to prove himself over returning starter Nick Folk, who made 78 of his 86 total kicking attempts last season. Vizcaino could ultimately return in a reserve role on the Patriots' practice squad, should he fail to secure a contract with an active roster elsewhere.

The Patriots signed Vizcaino on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vizcaino worked out with the Patriots during the team's minicamp practices this week and apparently did enough to supplant Quinn Nordin, who hasn't been practicing this spring, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. With Nordin let go, Vizcaino will likely head into training camp as the primary backup to Nick Folk, who signed a two-year, $5 million deal this offseason.

Vizcaino is participating in New England's minicamp this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently the Ravens plan to work Vizcaino out next week too if he's not signed by then. The Patriots signed Nick Folk to a two-year, $5 million contract in March, so it's unlikely he's in any real danger of ceding his position as the team's placekicker.

Vizcaino (undisclosed) was restored to the Chargers' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a significant development for Vizcaino and the Chargers, as kicker Dustin Hopkins tested positive for the virus Tuesday. Hopkins still has a chance to clear the health and safety protocols in time to play Sunday against Denver, but Vizcaino is set to take over if Hopkins is unavailable.
