ZANE GONZALEZ NEWS

Reverts to practice squad Gonzalez reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Gonzalez was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad for Thursday's game against the Eagles as Austin Seibert was sidelined due to a hip injury. Gonzalez converted on a 45-yard field-goal attempt and made his lone extra-point try during Washington's 26-18 loss. If Seibert is unable to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24, Gonzalez will likely be promoted to the active roster for a third consecutive game.

Elevated for Thursday's game The Commanders elevated Gonzalez from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles.

Impact Gonzalez will handle kicking duties for the Commanders for a second straight game due to Austin Seibert being sidelined with a hip injury. Gonzalez made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Washington's Week 11 loss to Pittsburgh.

Heads back to practice squad Gonzalez reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday.

Impact With Austin Seibert (hip) out of the lineup, Gonzalez played his first game of the season and was perfect, making two field goals from beyond 40 yards and all three extra-point tries. The Commanders play Thursday versus the Steelers, and if Seibert -- who didn't practice Monday -- isn't ready in time, Gonzalez will likely get the call again.

Set to kick for WAS in Week 10 The Commanders elevated Gonzalez from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Impact Washington signed Gonzalez to the practice squad Friday, and he was activated one day later with the team's primary placekicker, Austin Seibert, being ruled out for Week 10 due to a hip injury. Gonzalez will consequently take Seibert's place Sunday against the Steelers. Gonzalez hasn't kicked in an NFL game since 2021, when he went 20-for-22 on field-goal tries and 22-for-23 on extra-point attempts over 12 games with Carolina.

Picked up by Washington The Commanders signed Gonzalez to their practice squad Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez's most recent in-game action came in 2022 with the Panthers, where he appeared in 12 regular-season games, making 20 of his 22 field-goal attempts and converting 22 of his 23 extra-point tries. With Washington's top kicker, Austin Seibert (hip), dealing with an injury and logging a DNP to open the team's week of practice, Gonzalez has a chance to be elevated to the Commanders' active roster for Week 10's matchup against the Steelers.

Working out with Giants The Giants worked out Gonzalez (calf) on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Starting kicker Graham Gano is expected to miss at least one game after injuring his hamstring during Sunday's loss at Washington, so the Giants are scrambling to find a potential short-term replacement. Gonzalez hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2021.

Dealt to 49ers Gonzalez, who previously appeared set to be released by the Panthers, was instead traded to the 49ers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Gonzalez missed the majority of the 2022 season with a groin injury. Instead of bringing him back, the Panthers opted to re-sign his replacement, Eddy Pineiro, after he drilled 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries across 17 games. Gonzalez joins a 49ers roster that was previously without a kicker, and it remains to be seen if San Francisco brings any training camp competition to challenge him.
