• Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Running it back in D.C.

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Washington re-signed Gonzalez on Thursday. As Austin Seibert went to the Commanders' injured reserve list with a hip injury ahead of Week 13, Gonzalez was signed to fill in. Over nine games, including the postseason, he made 12 of his 15 field-goal tries and all 27 of his extra-point attempts. That seems to have been good enough to earn him priority for the starting job for 2025.

• Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Fills in capably for Seibert

  02/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Gonzalez made six regular-season appearances and three playoff appearances for the Commanders in 2024, en route to converting 12 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 PATs. The Commander signed Gonzalez in November as a replacement for Austin Seibert, who missed the final two months of the regular season and all of the postseason with a hip injury. Gonzalez filled in capably, making his first regular-season appearances since 2021 and missing only three kicks in nine games. He's scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason and will turn 30 in May.

• Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Takes every rep Wednesday

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Gonzalez (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Gonzalez was listed as a limited participant Tuesday on Washington's first injury report of the week, but his ability to take every rep a day later clears up any concern about his status for Saturday's divisional-round game in Detroit. After connecting on five of seven field-goal attempts and 19 of 19 extra-point tries over his six appearances with Washington in the regular season, Gonzalez went a perfect 5-for-5 on kicks in this past Sunday's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. He nailed two point-after attempts and all three of his field goals, including a 37-yarder that clanged off the right upright and in for the game-winning points with no time remaining.

• Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Limited Tuesday with hip issue

  01/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Gonzalez was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a hip injury. Gonzalez connected on both of his extra-point attempts and all three of his field-goal tries -- including the game winner from 37 yards as time expired -- in the Commanders' 23-20 wild-card win over the Buccaneers, but he seems to have picked up a hip issue along the way. There's no indication yet he's in danger of missing Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Lions, however. Washington doesn't currently have any other kickers on its active roster or practice squad.

• Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Ends regular season 5-for-7 on FGs

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Gonzalez made his lone field-goal attempt and both his extra-point tries in a 23-19 win over Dallas in Week 18. Gonzalez came through when called upon Sunday, knocking home a 47-yard field goal in the second period and converting both of his extra-point tries. The 28-year-old served as the Commanders' kicker for seven of the team's final nine games, going 5-for-7 on field-goal tries while making all 19 of his point-after attempts. Austin Seibert (groin) -- who remains on IR -- had been Washington's placekicker prior to getting hurt in late November, and it's unclear if Seibert will be able to return at any point in the postseason. Gonzalez, who will be a free agent at the end of the campaign, will likely to continue to kick for the Commanders for as long as Seibert remains out.
