Commanders add veteran kicker amid Austin Seibert’s murky status
The Commanders signed kicker Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad with Austin Seibert’s status in question.
The Washington Commanders, who made one of the biggest NFL trade deadline acquisitions by trading for cornerback Marshon Lattimore, are in a difficult situation with kicker Austin Seibert on the injury report with a right-hip injury.
Seibert did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday. He will likely be questionable or a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With his status unknown, the Commanders signed veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez to their practice squad, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Seibert is 25-of-27 this year with his two misses coming from 50-plus yards. His 97 points scored leads the NFL by 12 points.
At his current 12.1 points-per-game pace, he is on track to score 194 points (after missing one game) and potentially surpass LaDainian Tomlinson’s single-season points record of 186, set in 2006 when he scored 31 touchdowns (28 rushing, three receiving).
