Gonzalez

We’ll assume Gonzalez is good to go for Saturday’s game based on this statement. Gonzalez was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice after the team tried out three kickers earlier in the week, and the veteran was again spotted on the practice field Thursday. Including the postseason, Gonzalez has converted on five of his seven field goal attempts this season, which includes a 50-yard field goal he made in last week’s win over the Buccaneers.

Gonzalez was listed with a hip injury and limited in practice Tuesday, but practiced fully Wednesday. The Commanders still tried out Matthew Wright, Aldrick Rosas, and Tucker McCann at kicker. They are presumably looking for depth on the slim chance Gonzalez is not ready for Saturday’s Divisional Round matchup against the Lions. He kicked the game-winner in the Commanders’ Wild Card win over the Buccaneers and made 5-of-7 field goals in six regular season games. Expect Gonzalez to play; one of Wright, Rosas, or McCann could get the call if he does not.

Gonzalez returns for what should be a high-scoring game. Kicker-needy fantasy managers could seek out his services though his sparse productivity this season hardly instills confidence. He is a borderline K1/2.

Gonzalez remains truly questionable until otherwise stated. He appeared to be ready to play last week but was ultimately ruled inactive despite practicing in full. The Commanders’ Week 16 game against the Eagles should be a fantasy-friendly environment.

Gonzalez is dealing with a left foot injury and was listed as questionable entering the weekend despite being a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. Apparently unwilling to risk it, the Commanders have opted to sit Gonzalez for Week 15, thus forcing newly-signed vet Greg Joseph into the role. Joseph has converted on 13-of-16 field goal attempts this season while playing with the Giants while making all six of his extra point attempts. In addition to Gonzalez, the Commanders also declared WR K.J. J Osborn, QB Jeff Driskel, CB Michael Davis, LB Dominique Hampton C Tyler Biadasz, and DT Phidarian Mathis inactive. Biadasz was reportedly dealing with an illness that struck over the weekend, which led to the team holding him out after pre-game warmups.

After some thorough research, the foot appears to be vital to the kicking operation in football. Gonzalez is dealing with a minor issue in his plant (left) foot that shouldn’t force him to miss Week 15’s game against the Saints. If he can’t suit up, the Commanders signed Greg Joseph to their practice squad as an emergency option.

He will, as always, miss at least the next four games. Zane Gonzalez will kick for the Commanders this week, though it will be his last practice-squad elevation and it is unknown if they’ll sign him to the active roster after Week 13. Seibert missed a field goal and two extra points, including one that would have tied the game, against the Cowboys in Week 12. He claimed he was healthy afterwards, but it was fairly obvious he was still struggling.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said the team would evaluate Seibert at the end of the week to see if he can suit up for Week 11 against the Cowboys after missing Week 10. Seibert has been among the league’s best kickers in 2024, making 25 of 27 field goal tries and all 22 of his extra points. Zane Gonzalez would get another start for Washington if Seibert remains sidelined. Both kickers make for good fantasy options against Dallas.

Seibert suffered a hip injury in Week 9 and was ultimately unable to progress enough to kick against the Steelers. The team signed Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad before elevating him for Week 10.

Seibert missed Wednesday’s practice before getting in two limited sessions. The Commanders signed Zan Gonzalez to their practice squad as an emergency option. He should be called up to the active roster over the weekend. Seibert is an ace kicker when healthy, but fantasy managers may want to avoid this situation for Week 10.
