Nugent kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime to complete the Bengals' comeback win over the Seahawks on Sunday. |
Nugent's game-winner was banked off the left upright. He earlier tied the game in regulation as time ran out. He's 5-for-7 on field goals this season, and 17-for-18 on extra points. |

Nugent made both of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Raiders but did have an extra point blocked. |
The Bengals' offense took care of business early, giving Nugent plenty of opportunities to contribute. If their offensive line can remain intact, Nugent might prove to be a value. |
Sun Mar 8 2015 | 19:43 | Mike Nugent: Re-Signs With Bengals |
Nugent has reached agreement on a two-year, $4 million contract with the Bengals, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports. |
Nugent is a reasonably accurate kicker, but he's never had one of the league's bigger legs. He thus won't hold a ton of fantasy appeal, unless the Cincinnati offense finally takes the next step. |

Nugent returned to Monday's game against Denver despite suffering a hamstring injury during the contest. |
Nugent suffered a minor hamstring injury Monday but is back on the field for the conclusion of the game against the Broncos. He was able to convert on a 23-yard field goal after initially suffering the injury and seems to be in the clear moving forward as a result. |

Nugent suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's game against Denver but is listed as probable to return. |
Without many viable backup options for Nugent, it would be somewhat surprising to not see him return to Monday's game. As it stands, he currently has converted on all three extra point attempts to go along with two successfully converted field goal attempts. |

Nugent made all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-0 victory over the Browns. |
Nugent finally had a productive game after going two straight weeks without a field-goal attempt. Still, there are probably more reliable options available for you heading into Week 16. |

Nugent made both of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Ravens. |
Nugent didn't have an attempt last week against the Colts when the Bengals got shut out, so these were his first two shots to redeem himself after missing a potential game-winner in overtime against Carolina. |

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that he wouldn't bring in other kickers to look at this week, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. |
Though Nugent has missed six kicks this year, he has earned a longer respite due to his body of work and his long kickoffs. That, and the potential pool of replacements isn't that inspiring. |

Nugent missed a 36-yard field goal attempt at the end of overtime Sunday against the Panthers, making the game result in a tie. |
The miss was Nugent's sixth of the season. He made three other attempts Sunday, but obviously all the attention will be paid to the miss, which was a clunker to the right. "A pathetic hit," Nugent said of his wide right. "It was probably the worst hit I ever had in a game in my career." |

Nugent's three misses in Week 2 against the Falcons marked the first time he's missed three kicks in one game in his career. |
Nugent said that his first missed kick Sunday begat the next one. "I kind of shocked myself and I did a bad job of overcompensating," Nugent said before Thursday's practice. "That's the first day of kicking. Don't overcompensate." Given how reliable Nugent has been in the past, he still has reasonable job security. |

Nugent converted five-of-six field goal attempts en route to 15 total points in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Ravens. |
Nugent made good from 49, 22, 28, 46, and 38 yards on his five respective field goals, with his only miss coming off a blocked attempt from 45 yards. That performance allowed Nugent to finish Week 1 tied for the lead in points scored among kickers. |
Mon Aug 25 2014 | 18:06 | Nugent's teammate |
Nugent's teammate, Quinn Sharp, was released by the Bengals on Monday, the The Sports Xchange reports. |
The report notes that Sharp served as "a camp leg" to keep Nugent from being overworked during the preseason, as opposed to actually competing for the team's kicking assignment. In any case, in advance of Week 1, a presumably healthy Nugent is the only kicker the Bengals currently roster. |

Tue Dec 18 2012 | 08:25 | Mike Nugent remains questionable |
Bengals K Mike Nugent (calf) is considered questionable for Week 16. |
Nugent has missed the last two games. During that time, replacement Josh Brown has gone 6-for-6 on field goals, including one from 52 yards out. Nugent shouldn't be considered a lock to get his job back even once 100 percent. |

Bengals K Mike Nugent (calf) is expected to sit out Week 14 versus the Cowboys following the signing of Josh Brown. |

Bengals K Mike Nugent (calf) missed Wednesday's practice. |
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals will work out free agents Nate Kaeding and Josh Brown on Thursday, so it's possible Nugent is going to miss time. Cincinnati's "franchise player" over the offseason, Nugent is 19-of-23 on field-goal attempts this season. |
