Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say the Dolphins plan to sign Zane Gonzalez after a post-bye workout that also included veteran Justin Tucker.
- Gonzalez's addition is expected to be completed only if he passes a team physical and will begin on the practice squad per reports.
- Riley Patterson has missed multiple field goals, an extra point and struggled with kickoff technique this season, putting his roster spot at risk.
- Patterson's $1.4 million contract contains no guaranteed money, so Miami could release him without a dead-cap hit if it chooses to replace him.
- Gonzalez previously competed with Patterson in Miami's training camp, was released with an injury settlement in August, and has a seven-year NFL record that teams will weigh if he is activated.
