Gonzalez will kick Sunday against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Gonzalez missed practice Wednesday to attend the birth of his child, but he's available to suit up Sunday. Greg Joseph wasn't elevated from Washington's practice squad, confirming Gonzalez's availability. Gonzalez has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 10 PAT tries in three appearances for Washington this season.
Gonzalez (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday. The Commanders list him with a foot injury, but coach Dan Quinn said an absence from practice Wednesday was due to the birth of Gonzalez's child. A quick return to practice suggests he'll be ready for Sunday's home game against the Eagles.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Gonzalez (foot) won't practice Wednesday while he awaits the birth of his child, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Washington won't have any kickers available at practice to kick off Week 16 prep, as practice-squad member Greg Joseph is also awaiting the birth of his child. Joseph filled in as the Commanders' kicker in the Week 15 win over the Saints while Gonzalez was sidelined with a left foot injury, but it's unclear where Gonzalez currently stands in his recovery heading into this Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Gonzalez (left foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at New Orleans. Gonzalez missed two field-goal attempts, one from 46 yards and the other from 52 yards, in the Commanders' last game Week 13. He then was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a left foot injury, but despite logging back-to-back full sessions to end Week 15 prep, he entered the weekend as questionable. Washington elevated Greg Joseph from its practice squad Saturday, signaling that Gonzalez was in danger of remaining on the sideline Sunday, which now has been confirmed. Gonzalez's next chance to kick is next Sunday against the Eagles.
Gonzalez (left foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at New Orleans. Despite following an LP/FP/FP practice regimen this week due to a left foot injury, Gonzalez isn't in the clear for Week 15 action. As a contingency, the Commanders signed Greg Joseph to their practice squad Friday, and if he's elevated Saturday, it could indicate that Gonzalez is in danger of missing Sunday's game.
Gonzalez (foot) was a full participant at the Commanders' practice Thursday. Gonzalez opened the week as a limited participant with a foot injury, but he appears to have progressed past that. The kicker will draw another start in place of Austin Seibert (groin) on Sunday against the Saints.
Gonzalez (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Arizona State product appears to be dealing with a foot injury following the Commanders' Week 14 bye, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Gonzalez's participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into his potential availability for Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Look for the Commanders to add a kicker to their practice squad or active roster if Gonzalez can't suit up in Week 15.
Head coach Dan Quinn stated Monday that the Commanders will stick with Gonzalez as their kicker in Week 15 against the Saints, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports. Gonzalez missed two FGAs against the Titans before the Commanders' bye week, one from 46 and another from 52 yards out. Despite those misses, it appears he'll be the guy to continue filling in for Austin Seibert (groin).
The Commanders signed Gonzalez to their active roster Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. The 29-year-old was elevated to the Commanders' active roster to kick in three of their last four games, with Austin Seibert sidelined due to groin and hip injuries. Seibert was placed on injured reserve Nov. 26 and is eligible to return for Washington's Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys at the earliest. Gonzalez's signing Monday suggests he'll remain the Commanders' kicker until Seibert is back from injury. Gonzalez struggled in Washington's blowout win over the Titans on Sunday, missing both of his field-goal attempts. However, he's converted all 10 of his extra-point tries over three games and has the support of head coach Dan Quinn, who said he's "pleased with what they've seen over the last month" regarding Gonzalez's performance.
