Dolphins' Zane Gonzalez: Converts three FGAs in loss
Gonzalez went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.
Gonzalez was elevated to the active roster for the third straight week, and he made multiple field-goal attempts for the second game in a row. The kicker converted a 34-yard field goal in the first quarter before he hit the right upright and missed a 38-yarder as time expired in the first half. Gonzalez rebounded well in the second half, adding makes from 52 and 34 yards. The Dolphins will now have to officially sign Gonzalez to the active roster in order for him to appear in another game with the team this year.

He's performed adequately so far, going 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts. This is Gonzalez's third and final elevation, so the Dolphins would need to sign him to the active roster to continue having him kick in games beyond this weekend.

If the team uses the last elevation, the kicker will need to be signed to the active roster to play in any subsequent games this season. Gonzalez is 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 5-for-5 on extra points through his two starts in 2026.

The Dolphins elevated Gonzalez from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

The 31-year-old appears set to start Sunday's divisional bout against the Jets.

Zane Gonzalez: Catches on with Miami
The Dolphins signed Gonzalez (undisclosed) to their practice squad Tuesday.
Gonzalez failed to beat out Riley Patterson for the Dolphins' kicking job over the summer, ultimately getting cut loose Aug. 19 on an injury settlement after being placed on IR just over a week earlier. He's now seemingly recovered from that injury, and after working out with Miami earlier Tuesday, Gonzalez has re-signed with the organization. He looks poised to take over as the Dolphins' kicker beginning with Sunday's game against the Jets, with Miami releasing Patterson after he missed two field-goal tries and a point-after attempt through the club's first five games. Over parts of seven NFL seasons, Gonzalez has converted at an 81 percent clip on field-goal attempts and has excelled at neutralizing the return game, with 52.5 percent of his kickoffs going for touchbacks.

Zane Gonzalez: Released by Miami
The Dolphins released Gonzalez (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Gonzalez was placed on the Dolphins' injured reserve list in early August due to an undisclosed issue. The kicker did not wish to be tied up on IR for the entirety of the 2026 season and, as such, has negotiated his release with an injury settlement. Gonzalez is now a free agent and is able to sign with any franchise once he regains his health.

Dolphins' Zane Gonzalez: Week-to-week with undisclosed injury
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that Gonzalez is considered week-to-week after suffering an undisclosed injury during Saturday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Though he had been competing with incumbent Riley Patterson for Dolphins kicking duties, Gonzalez's injury could effectively take him out of the running for the job. Gonzalez can be ruled out for at least Friday's preseason opener versus the Commanders, and he's not a safe bet to make it back for either of the Dolphins' final two exhibitions.

Dolphins' Zane Gonzalez: Joining Dolphins on one-year deal
Gonzalez has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Miami, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gonzalez links forces with the Dolphins in advance of his age-31 season, coming off an impressive 2025 campaign in which he converted 19 of 22 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 point-after tries while logging nine regular-season appearances with the Falcons. Miami released longtime kicker Jason Sanders in early March and faces the risk of losing Riley Patterson, who was tremendous as the team's starter in 2025, as a free agent. Gonzalez provides the Dolphins with a reliable starting option, though the team could still add competition at the position or work to re-sign Patterson.

Gonzalez made 19 of 22 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 point-after tries across nine regular-season games with the Falcons in 2025.
The 30-year-old from Arizona State was picked up by the Falcons in early November and operated as the team's top kicker for the remainder of the season. Gonzalez was reliable and converted on 86.4 percent of his field-goal attempts, with two of his three misses coming from beyond 50 yards. Set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason, Gonzalez will likely be a candidate to return to Atlanta following a strong finish to the 2025 campaign.
