Ryland connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 29-9 victory over the Bears. With his successful 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter Sunday, Ryland now has made 50-plus yarders in back-to-back games, and he's so far missed just one kick (a 45-yard FGA that was blocked and returned for a TD in Week 5 at San Francisco) in five games subbing in for the injured Matt Prater (knee). Prater must miss at least one more contest while on injured reserve, so Ryland again is poised to handle placekicking duties for the Cardinals this coming Sunday against the Jets.

Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers. Ryland's lone field-goal attempt came on the Cardinals' final play of the night, a 32-yarder and his second game-winner of the regular season so far. While filling in for Matt Prater (knee) in Arizona's last three games, Ryland has gone 6-for-7 on field goals and converted all four of his PATs. Prater won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 12 versus Seattle, at the earliest, leaving Ryland in line to start Sunday against the Dolphins and beyond.

The Cardinals signed Ryland off their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Arizona had elevated Ryland from its practice squad the past two games as a replacement for Matt Prater (knee). Ryland knocked down both of his extra-point tries and five of six field-goal attempts in those contests, and he'll be Arizona's kicker for at least four more games after the team added him to the 53-man roster and moved Prater to injured reserve Tuesday.

Ryland will be the Cardinals' kicker against the Packers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. With Matt Prater nursing a knee injury, Ryland was elevated from the practice squad Saturday. Prater was deemed inactive Sunday morning, so Ryland will handle kicking duties for a second straight week. Last week, Ryland went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss coming on a blocked 45-yard attempt.

Ryland connected on three of four field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 24-23 win at San Francisco. Ryland was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday to fill in for the injured Matt Prater (left knee) in Week 5, and the former fared well aside from having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. On Monday, Ryland reverted to the practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log, after which coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that the team was taking a wait-and-see approach with Prater. Such comments indicate Ryland may be called upon for place-kicking duties again for Sunday's game in Green Bay if Prater doesn't make enough progress in his recovery.
