The Dolphins released Patterson Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Miami will part ways with Patterson coming out of its Week 6 bye, after the kicker converted on seven of nine field-goal tries and five of six extra-point attempts through the team's first five games. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are expected to replace Patterson with Zane Gonzalez, who worked out for the team Tuesday and will be signed either to 53-man roster or practice squad.
