Zane Gonzalez: reported Dolphins practice-squad signing at kicker

THE FACT. The Dolphins are signing kicker Zane Gonzalez to their practice squad after a Tuesday workout that also included Justin Tucker, reported Tuesday morning by Jordan Schultz and carried by Pro Football Rumors and NBC Sports. The deal is pending a physical and Miami had not announced it. Gonzalez was last with the Falcons, who released him with an injury settlement in August.

THE VERDICT. This is a warning shot at Riley Patterson, who has already matched his full 2025 miss total this season with two missed field goals and a missed extra point. Redraft: do not cut Patterson over a practice-squad signing, because the incumbent still has the job, but identify your replacement kicker now rather than on Sunday morning. DFS: fade the Miami kicking slot until the competition resolves. Dynasty: no impact.
