Ryan Fitzgerald: Breaking News

Misses lone field-goal attempt

Fitzgerald missed his only field-goal try but converted on both point-after attempts during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers. Fitzgerald came up short on a 54-yard field-goal try in the third quarter of Saturday's loss. It was a miss that proved costly, as the Panthers lost by just two points. The rookie kicker from Florida State appeared in all 17 of Carolina's regular-season games in 2025, making 24 of 29 field-goal attempts and 27 of 30 point-after tries. However, he struggled from long range, converting on just two of five field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Under contract through the 2027 season, Fitzgerald is expected to at least compete for Carolina's top placekicker role heading into the 2026 season.

Converts only FGA in loss

Fitzgerald made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. Fitzgerald was limited to one field-goal attempt for the third time in the last four contests and eighth time overall this season, converting a 35-yard try in the second quarter. The rookie kicker has now gone 24-for-28 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making 25 of 28 PATs over 16 contests.

Nails game-winning kick

Fitzgerald made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Fitzgerald nailed both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 41 yards in the first half, and he gave the Panthers the lead with a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter. Sunday marked the fourth time this season that Fitzgerald has connected on three field goals in a game, and the undrafted rookie is 23-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 24-for-27 on point-after tries through 15 regular-season games.
