Cardinals' Zane Gonzalez: Promoted from practice squad
The Cardinals signed Gonzalez off their practice squad Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Gonzalez is slated to take over kicking duties for Arizona beginning with the team's Week 13 matchup with the Packers after incumbent Phil Dawson (hip) was placed on injured reserve. The second-year player out of Arizona State got off to a woeful start to his NFL career in Cleveland, converting only 17 of 25 field-goal attempts (68 percent) and 28 of 31 extra-point tries (90.3 percent). The Browns released Gonzalez earlier in the season after a slight groin tear contributed to his struggles, but the 23-year-old should be at full health now. Even if Gonzalez shows improved accuracy with Arizona, he'll still rank as one of the lower-tier fantasy kickers while he's supported by a poor offense.
