Gonzalez reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday. With Austin Seibert (hip) out of the lineup in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, Gonzalez played his first game of the season and was perfect, making two field goals from beyond 40 yards and all three extra-point tries. The Commanders play Thursday versus the Eagles, and if Seibert -- who didn't practice Monday -- isn't ready in time, Gonzalez will likely get the call again.

The Commanders elevated Gonzalez from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday. Washington signed Gonzalez to the practice squad Friday, and he was activated one day later due to the team's primary placekicker, Austin Seibert, being ruled out for Week 10 due to a hip injury. Gonzalez will consequently take Seibert's place Sunday against the Steelers. Gonzalez hasn't kicked in an NFL game since 2021, when he went 20-for-22 on field-goal tries and 22-for-23 on extra-point attempts over 12 appearances with Carolina.

The Commanders signed Gonzalez to their practice squad Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Gonzalez's most recent in-game action came in 2022 with the Panthers, when he appeared in 12 regular-season games, making 20 of his 22 field-goal attempts and converting 22 of his 23 extra-point tries. With Washington's top kicker, Austin Seibert (hip), dealing with an injury and logging a DNP to open the team's week of practice, Gonzalez has a chance to be elevated to the Commanders' active roster for Week 10's matchup against the Steelers.

The Giants worked out Gonzalez (calf) on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Starting kicker Graham Gano is expected to miss at least one game after injuring his hamstring during Sunday's loss at Washington, so the Giants are scrambling to find a potential short-term replacement. Gonzalez hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2021.

The 49ers released Gonzalez (calf) from injured reserve Tuesday with an injury settlement, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. After suffering a calf strain in San Francisco's Aug. 25 preseason finale, Gonzalez was moved to injured reserve last week ahead of final roster cutdowns. The transaction would have kept Gonzalez out for the rest of the season, but by agreeing to the settlement, he'll be able to hit the open market and sign with a team as soon as he's healthy. The move also clears cap space for San Francisco and leaves practice-squad member Matthew Wright as the top challenger to Jake Moody (quadricep) for the 49ers' kicking duties. Moody is the only kicker on the 53-man roster at the moment, but the 49ers could elevate Wright from the practice squad for the Week 1 game against Pittsburgh if there's any concern about the former's health.
