After Blake Gillikin Went Down, Chad Ryland Stepped Up Second-year kicker forced to punt after injury changed special teams

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • AZCARDINALS.COM

Season-high point tally Sunday Ryland connected on five of six field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 23-22 loss at Minnesota.

Impact The Cardinals offense continually stalled in the red zone, affording Ryland successful FGAs from 32, 31, 24, 40 and 23 yards. His only miss, a 45-yard attempt early in the second quarter, ultimately ended up being the difference in the one-point defeat, but Sunday's 16-point outing marked his most productive of the campaign by a large margin (his previous high in a game was 10 points back in Week 5 at San Francisco). Matt Prater, Arizona's primary kicker, hasn't made any notable progress as he resides on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, so Ryland is lined up to continue in his current role next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Handles all the scoring Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Ryland was successful on 35 and 22-yard FGAs to represent all six points Arizona put on the board Sunday. However, the second-year pro did miss a 47-yard opportunity wide left with just seconds left in the game, which could have pulled the Cardinals within eight. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible this was Ryland's last week as the team's kicker.

Solid in runaway win Ryland converted his only field-goal try and made all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.

Impact Ryland's only field goal came from just 37 yards out as time expired in the first half, so nothing especially difficult was asked of him in Week 10. With that said, he now hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 and projects as a solid fantasy option for the home stretch of the season after the Cardinals' bye in Week 11.

Strikes true on all five kicks Ryland connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 29-9 victory over the Bears.

Impact With his successful 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter Sunday, Ryland now has made 50-plus yarders in back-to-back games, and he's so far missed just one kick (a 45-yard FGA that was blocked and returned for a TD in Week 5 at San Francisco) in five games subbing in for the injured Matt Prater (knee). Prater must miss at least one more contest while on injured reserve, so Ryland again is poised to handle placekicking duties for the Cardinals this coming Sunday against the Jets.

Nails game-winner vs. Chargers Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Impact Ryland's lone field-goal attempt came on the Cardinals' final play of the night, a 32-yarder and his second game-winner of the regular season so far. While filling in for Matt Prater (knee) in Arizona's last three games, Ryland has gone 6-for-7 on field goals and converted all four of his PATs. Prater won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 12 versus Seattle, at the earliest, leaving Ryland in line to start Sunday against the Dolphins and beyond.

Replaces injured Prater on roster The Cardinals signed Ryland off their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Arizona had previously elevated Ryland from its practice squad for both of the past two games as a replacement for kicker Matt Prater (knee). Prater knocked down both of his extra-point tries and five of six field-goal attempts between those contests, and he'll now be in line for at least four more games as Arizona's kicker after the Cardinals added him to the 53-man roster and moved Prater to injured reserve Tuesday.

Makes all three kicks Sunday Ryland made both field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 34-13 loss in Green Bay.

Impact Filling in for Matt Prater (left knee) for a second consecutive game, Ryland was perfect this time around after having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown during a Week 5 win at San Francisco. Ryland also reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL"s transaction log. With Arizona not playing again until next Monday versus the Chargers, Prater will be given a bit more time than normal to prove his health, but he may need to get back to full participation between Thursday and Saturday to have a chance to play Week 7. Ryland will handle placekicking duties if Prater isn't able to in that contest.

Set for kicking duties again Ryland will be the Cardinals' kicker against the Packers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact With Matt Prater (knee) unavailable, Ryland was elevated from the practice squad Saturday and will handle kicking duties for a second straight week. Last week, Ryland went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss coming on a blocked 45-yard attempt.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated again for Week 6 The Cardinals elevated Ryland from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 battle with Green Bay.

Impact Regular kicker Matt Prater (knee) is questionable for Sunday, so Ryland provides much-needed insurance in case Prater is unable to go. That was the case last week versus San Francisco, when Ryland took over for the inactive Prater and went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss being a blocked 45-yard attempt. Ryland's elevation Saturday could be a sign that Prater will be held out again Sunday, though that may not be confirmed until about 90 minutes prior to the 4:00 PM ET kickoff.

Makes four kicks in place of Prater Ryland connected on three of four field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 24-23 win at San Francisco.

Impact Ryland was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday to fill in for the injured Matt Prater (left knee) in Week 5, and the former fared well aside from having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. On Monday, Ryland reverted to the practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log, after which coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that the team was taking a wait-and-see approach with Prater. Such comments indicate Ryland may be called upon for place-kicking duties again for Sunday's game in Green Bay if Prater doesn't make enough progress in his recovery.
