ZANE GONZALEZ NEWS

Sitting out Sunday Gonzalez (left foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at New Orleans.

Impact Gonzalez missed two field-goal attempts, one from 46 yards and the other from 52 yards, in the Commanders' last game Week 13. He then was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a left foot injury, but despite logging back-to-back full sessions to end Week 15 prep, he entered the weekend as questionable. Washington elevated Greg Joseph from its practice squad Saturday, signaling that Gonzalez was in danger of remaining on the sideline Sunday, which now has been confirmed Gonzalez's next chance to kick is next Sunday against the Eagles.

Questionable for Week 15 Gonzalez (left foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at New Orleans.

Impact Despite following an LP/FP/FP practice regimen this week due to a left foot injury, Gonzalez isn't in the clear for Week 15 action. As a contingency, the Commanders signed Greg Joseph to their practice squad Friday, and if he's elevated Saturday, it could indicate that Gonzalez is in danger of missing Sunday's game.

Full practice Thursday Gonzalez (foot) was a full participant at the Commanders' practice Thursday.

Impact Gonzalez opened the week as a limited participant with a foot injury, but he appears to have progressed past that. The kicker will draw another start in place of Austin Seibert (groin) on Sunday against the Saints.

Dealing with foot injury Gonzalez (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Arizona State product appears to be dealing with a foot injury following the Commanders' Week 14 bye, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Gonzalez's participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into his potential availability for Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Look for the Commanders to add a kicker to their practice squad or active roster if Gonzalez can't suit up in Week 15.

Expected to remain with team Head coach Dan Quinn stated Monday that the Commanders will stick with Gonzalez as their kicker in Week 15 against the Saints, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Gonzalez missed two FGAs against the Titans before the Commanders' bye week, one from 46 and another from 52 yards out. Despite those misses, it appears he'll be the guy to continue filling in for Austin Seibert (groin).

Signs to active roster The Commanders signed Gonzalez to their active roster Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was elevated to the Commanders' active roster to kick in three of their last four games, with Austin Seibert sidelined due to groin and hip injuries. Seibert was placed on injured reserve Nov. 26 and is eligible to return for Washington's Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys at the earliest. Gonzalez's signing Monday suggests he'll remain the Commanders' kicker until Seibert is back from injury. Gonzalez struggled in Washington's blowout win over the Titans on Sunday, missing both of his field-goal attempts. However, he's converted all 10 of his extra-point tries over three games and has the support of head coach Dan Quinn, who said he's "pleased with what they've seen over the last month" regarding Gonzalez's performance.

Elevated again for Week 13 The Commanders elevated Gonzalez from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee.

Impact This move became a foregone conclusion when Austin Seibert was placed on injured reserve Friday due to a groin injury. Gonzalez did well serving as the Commanders' kicker in Weeks 10 and 11, making all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries. Seibert came back for Week 12 but struggled against Dallas and subsequently landed on IR, opening the door for Gonzalez to reprise his role as the team's kicker. He's now been elevated three times on the campaign, so Washington will need to sign Gonzalez to their active roster in order for him to continue kicking on game day beyond this week.

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.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

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.
