Dolphins re-signing K Zane Gonzalez, releasing K Riley Patterson
Coming off their Week 6 bye, the Dolphins are replacing their kicker.
The Miami Dolphins have made significant roster changes in the kicking position, re-signing veteran Zane Gonzalez and releasing Riley Patterson. According to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report, the team has agreed to bring back Gonzalez, who previously played for Miami during the offseason program and training camp. Gonzalez, 31, had an impressive season with the Falcons, hitting 19-of-22 field goals and 17-of-18 extra points in nine games last year.
Prior to joining the Dolphins, Gonzalez was placed on injured reserve in August and released with an injury settlement on August 19. On the other hand, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Dolphins have decided to release Patterson, who missed an extra point in the Week 5 loss to the Bengals and two field goals earlier in the season. Miami's next game is a road matchup against the Jets in Week 7.
