Riley Patterson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes only FGA in loss Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Patterson finished off the Dolphins' first possession of the second half, converting a 37-yard field-goal try to narrow the deficit to 14-10. He didn't attempt another field goal during the contest, making it the first game this year during which he did not have multiple field-goal tries. Through three games, the kicker has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts, including 0-for-1 from 50-plus yards, and he may not get many opportunities when Miami squares off with Minnesota's impressive defense in Week 4.

Patterson moves to 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts this season and 2-for-2 on PATs.

Fellow kicker lands on IR With Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) having been placed on IR, Patterson is now the only kicker on the Dolphins' active roster.

Impact During the 2025 regular season, Patterson started all 17 games for the Dolphins last year, en route to making 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. With Gonzalez no longer in the mix, Patterson is on track to reprise his role as the team's top kicker, with his fantasy relevance linked to how well Miami's offense takes off with new QB Malik Willis at the helm.

Re-signs with Miami The Dolphins re-signed Patterson on Thursday.

Impact Patterson's return to Miami makes sense after he started all 17 regular-season games for the team last year, converting an impressive 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. The success Patterson demonstrated makes him the favorite to open 2026 as the Dolphins' starter, and prompted the team to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders (now with the Giants) to begin the offseason. Patterson will have competition for the No. 1 gig, though, in the form of new signee Zane Gonzalez.

FEBRUARY 11 • PHINPHANATIC.COM

Perfect in Week 18 loss Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Patterson ultimately started all 17 regular-season games for Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) never gaining clearance to return from IR. In that span, Patterson converted 27 of 29 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries, operating as one of the league's most accurate kickers. Patterson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason while Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins, however. With that, Patterson may need to compete for a starting gig elsewhere in the league for the 2026 season.

Makes all four kicks in win Patterson made both of his field-goal attempts and both PATs in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bucs.

Impact Patterson converted field goals from 29 and 31 yards. Through 16 games as Miami's kicker this season, Patterson has made 26 of 28 field-goal tries and 33 of 34 extra-point attempts. He won't be an exciting fantasy kicker next Sunday on the road against the Patriots.
