  • Let go by San Fran

    The 49ers released Gonzalez (calf) from injured reserve Tuesday with an injury settlement, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The 49ers placed Gonzalez (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez sustained a calf injury ahead of Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, and coach Kyle Shanahan recently said the kicker would be sidelined for a few weeks. However, unless Gonzalez is waived with an injury settlement at some point, he'll be forced to miss the 2023 season.

  • Out a few weeks

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Gonzalez will be sidelined for a few weeks due to a calf injury, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez presumably injured his calf in pregame warmups ahead of Friday's exhibition against the Chargers, which left the 49ers without an available placekicker due to rookie Jake Moody's (quadriceps) own health concern. Moody is considered day-to-day versus Gonzalez's week-to-week prognosis, so the former seemingly has a leg up to be San Francisco's kicker Week 1at Pittsburgh.

  • Will not return Friday

    Gonzalez will not return to Friday's preseason finale against the Chargers due to a calf injury, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez has been filling in for rookie kicker Jake Moody (quadriceps). Now that both kickers are unavailable Friday, punter Mitch Wishnowsky will presumably handle kicking duties. The severity of Gonzalez's injury is unknown at this time.

  • Dealt to 49ers

    Gonzalez, who previously appeared set to be released by the Panthers, was instead traded to the 49ers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez missed the majority of the 2022 season with a groin injury. Instead of bringing him back, the Panthers opted to re-sign his replacement, Eddy Pineiro, after he drilled 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries across 17 games. Gonzalez joins a 49ers roster that was previously without a kicker, and it remains to be seen if San Francisco brings any training camp competition to challenge him.

  • Set to be released

    The Panthers are slated to release Gonzalez, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After missing most of the 2022 season with a groin injury, the Panthers decided to release Gonzalez and re-sign Eddy Pineiro. Pineiro's success in relief of Gonzalez last year likely led to the anticipated release of the 27-year-old kicker, who Rapoport relays is now fully healthy as he seeks a new squad for the 2023 campaign.

  • Hits IR, done for the year

    The Panthers placed Gonzalez (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, possibly ending his 2022 season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez may require surgery to address a groin injury he sustained during Carolina's preseason finale versus Buffalo, and the timing of the 27-year-old kicker's placement on IR means he will miss the entire 2022 campaign unless he works out an injury settlement with the team. The Panthers don't currently have another kicker on the roster, meaning the team will have to prioritize making a signing in the aftermath of league-wide roster cutdowns.

  • Surgery TBD per Rhule

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that it's yet to be determined if Gonzalez (groin) will need surgery or how long he'll be out, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez suffered the injury during Friday's preseason finale, but the extent of the issue remains unknown, though he is expected to miss a significant amount of time. He's currently the only kicker on Carolina's roster, so expect the Panthers to make a move for a replacement soon. More information on Gonzalez's status should come closer to Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.

  • Likely out long term

    Gonzalez is expected to be placed on injured reserve after suffering a "significant" groin injury, Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if the injury is of the season-ending variety, but it certainly appears as if the veteran kicker will be out for a long period of time regardless. The Panthers don't currently have another kicker on the active, so expect the team to sign one shortly after roster cutdowns occur.

  • Officially has groin injury

    Gonzalez suffered a groin injury during Friday's preseason contest against the Bills, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: The injury didn't happen on the field, but instead on the sideline as Gonzalez readied himself for a potential field goal or extra point in the third quarter. After taking a practice kick into the net, he went to the ground and eventually was carted to the locker room. While Gonzalez was deemed questionable to return, the Panthers soon may have to hold tryouts if the issue is considered a serious one.

  • Needs cart to go to locker room

    Gonzalez (leg) was carted to the locker room during Friday's preseason game versus the Bills, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: According to Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site, Gonzalez went down after attempting a practice kick on the sideline as the team's offense entered the red zone. Gonzalez was steady for Carolina last season, making 20 of 22 field-goal attempts and 22 of 23 point-after tries in 12 appearances. It remains to be seen if the Panthers will be required to bring in a reinforcement at placekicker.

  • Makes both kicks

    Gonzalez made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted from 27 yards on his lone field goal, which along with a third-quarter PAT, netted him four points total. After inking a two-year deal with the Panthers this offseason, Gonzalez will return as the team's kicker after notching 82 points in 12 appearances for Carolina last season.

  • Back for two more seasons

    The Panthers re-signed Gonzalez (quadriceps) on Wednesday on a two-year, $4.5 million deal, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: By the time the Panthers take the field again, Gonzalez will be well past the quad issue that sidelined him late last season. Prior to missing Carolina's final four games of 2021, Gonzalez made 20 of his 22 field-goal attempts and hit 22 of his 23 extra-point tries in 12 games. While retaining the 26-year-old provides Carolina with some welcome stability at the kicker position, Gonzalez's fantasy prospects in 2022 hinge on the overall efforts of the franchise's offense, a unit that will likely…read more

  • Placed on IR

    Carolina placed Gonzalez (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports

    Analysis: Gonzalez is thus done for the regular season due to the quad injury he suffered during pregame warmups prior to Sunday's loss to the Bills. As a replacement for Gonzalez, the Panthers signed Lirim Hajrullahu off the Washington's practice squad. Alex Kessman will join Carolina's practice squad to give the team another placekicking option if Hajrullahu falters in his team debut Week 16 against the Buccaneers.

  • May be done for season

    Gonzalez could be placed on injured reserve after he was diagnosed with a strained right quadriceps following an MRI on Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: The diagnosis is good news for Gonzalez, whom the Panthers feared had torn a muscle while warming up prior to Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills. Since the Panthers didn't have another player with NFL kicking experience on the roster, Carolina eschewed extra-point tries on both of its touchdowns and instead went for two. Though the Panthers haven't officially provided an update on Gonzalez's outlook for Week 16 and beyond, the team signed another kicker in Lirim Hajrullahu off Washington's…read more

  • Undergoing MRI

    Gonzalez (quadriceps) will undergo an MRI on Monday to help determine the extent of his injury, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez was unable to play Sunday against the Bills after he suffered a quad injury during pregame warmups, and the Panthers will bring in several kickers for a tryout this week, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that he needs to talk with doctors before the team determines whether Gonzalez is dealing with a season-ending injury.

  • Won't play Week 15

    The Panthers announced Gonzalez won't play Sunday against the Bills after suffering a right quadriceps injury during warmups, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The injury occurred when Gonzalez lost his footing on the field while attempting a kick. After Gonzalez was helped to the locker room, Carolina had a number of players take part in kickoffs for the remainder of warmups. Emergency placekicking duties could fall to punter Lachlan Edwards or backup quarterback P.J. Walker, who served as a kicker in high school. Most likely, though, the Panthers will likely eschew extra-point tries in favor of two-point attempts for any touchdowns they score during…read more

  • Suffers injury in warmups

    Gonzalez required assistance off the field after he suffered an apparent leg injury during warmups prior to Sunday's game in Buffalo, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though Gonzalez officially remains active for the contest, he looks like he could be at risk of not playing in the game after coming down with the injury. Carolina doesn't have any other placekickers on the roster, so the team will most likely turn to punter Lachlan Edwards to handle that role. Edwards' inexperience as a placekicker could prompt head coach Matt Rhule to forgo longer-range extra-point and field-goal attempts throughout the contest.

  • Makes all three kicks

    Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gonzalez again did all that was required of him, extending his streak to nine straight games without a miss. Although being limited to PATs restricted his production Sunday, Gonzalez's consistency has been impressive this season.

  • Just four points

    Gonzalez made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted from 41 yards to end the second quarter, his only field-goal attempt over the past couple weeks. Despite getting few opportunities lately, Gonzalez has now gone eight straight games without a miss heading into Carolina's bye.

    Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Gonzalez was limited to PATs, but in making all three of his attempts, Gonzalez went a seventh straight game without a single miss. The veteran will hope to keep his streak going while getting more opportunities in Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted field goals from 29, 51, 57 and 23 yards, fueling the Panthers' scoring prior to a fourth-quarter touchdown from the offense. The veteran has come on strong lately, as Gonzalez has now gone four straight games without a miss, racking up 34 points over that span.

    Gonzalez missed his only field-goal attempt but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Gonzalez went wide left from 54 yards on his lone field-goal opportunity. Although another miss won't help Gonzalez' job security, it being a long-distance misfire is at least more excusable and the veteran made his four other kicks Sunday. Through three games with the Panthers, Gonzalez now boasts 18 points.

  • Misses two kicks

    Gonzalez missed one of his three field-goal attempts as well as one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Gonzalez could be on shaky ground after just one appearance for the Panthers, which have already cut two kickers for being inconsistent this season. Although Gonzalez converted from 20 and 42 yards on his respective field-goal makes, he had a 55-yarder blocked before missing a PAT in the fourth quarter. While it remains to be seen whether Gonzalez will stick with Carolina, the quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's game versus Houston could bode in his favor.

    Gonzalez (back) will be released from the Cardinals on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Despite Gonzalez's impending release, there's still a chance he could return to Arizona for the upcoming year. The veteran kicker converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts and 38 of 39 extra-point attempts across 12 games during the 2020 season.

    The Cardinals placed Gonzalez (back) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Gonzalez will be forced to miss the final three games of the regular season due to his back injury. Through 12 appearances with the Cardinals this season, Gonzalez has converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts (73 percent) and 38 of 39 extra-point tries. In a corresponding move, Arizona elevated Mike Nugent.

  • Not playing Week 15

    The Cardinals have ruled Gonzalez (back) out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, so he'll be sidelined for a second straight game while he contends with the back issue. In Gonzalez's stead, Mike Nugent will likely be elevated from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties for Arizona. Nugent proved to be a capable replacement in the Cardinals' Week 14 win over the Giants, knocking down all four of his field-goal tries and both of his point-after attempts.

    Gonzalez (back) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez was seen working out on the side during the open portion of the session, setting the stage for his second straight DNP. He'll have one more chance to prove the health of his back this week, but if he's unable to do so the Cardinals are poised to elevate Mike Nugent from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

  • Not practicing with main group

    Gonzalez (back) was spotted working off to the side Thursday and looks set to go down as a non-participant at practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: While it's somewhat encouraging that Gonzalez wasn't absent from practice entirely, the kicker will likely need to join the main group in some fashion Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday against the Eagles. If Gonzalez is sidelined for a second straight week, however, the Cardinals would likely call up Mike Nugent from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

    Gonzalez (back) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: A late addition to the injury report last week due to a back injury, Gonzalez was ruled out prior to this past Sunday's game versus the Giants. Now that he's absent entirely to begin Week 15 prep, he may be trending toward a second straight inactive status. If Gonzalez sits out Sunday against the Eagles, the Cardinals will turn to practice squad member Mike Nugent at kicker.

  • Downgraded to out

    Gonzalez (back) will not play Sunday against the Giants.

    Analysis: It appears as if the back injury that landed Gonzalez on the injury report Friday is more serious than first thought. Mike Nugent was called up from the practice squad in a corresponding move and will look to correct a troublesome kicking situation for the Cardinals.

  • Added to injury report

    Gonzalez was added to the injury report Friday with a back injury, listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's already been a rough year for Gonzalez, whose six missed field goals this season have included two in the final minutes of close games. In any case, the Cardinals figure to promote Mike Nugent from the practice squad before Sunday if they have real concern about Gonzalez's availability.

  • Will remain Arizona's kicker

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Gonzalez is still the Cardinals' kicker, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Gonzalez missed a 48-yard field goal -- his only attempt of the afternoon -- in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams. The fourth-year kicker has made just 16 of 22 field-goal tries (73 percent) this season, including key misses that directly cost the team wins. Nevertheless, Kingsbury is reiterating his confidence in Gonzalez, hoping he can get back to his 2019 form, when he hit 89 percent of field-goal attempts. The Cardinals travel to New York to face the Giants in Week 14.

  • Costly misfire Sunday

    Gonzalez connected on one of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: The Cardinals rolled out Gonzalez to try a 45-yard field goal to put the team up three points with 1:47 remaining in regulation. The 25-year-old pushed the kick wide right, providing the Patriots with a chance to win the game. As time expired in the fourth quarter, Patriots kicker Nick Folk drilled a 50-yarder to hand the Cardinals another heartbreaking defeat.

  • Scores three points Week 11

    Gonzalez hit all three extra points during Thursday's 28-21 defeat in Seattle.

    Analysis: Just five days removed from putting up a season-best 14 points -- four field goals, two PATs -- Gonzalez matched a campaign low with just three points Week 11. The performance pushed him down to 17th among placekickers in points per game with 7.7, the result of him ranking 13th in field-goal attempts (19) on the year. Fortunately, the offense has provided the second-most point-after tries (33) in the NFL, helping to provide some utility.

  • Nails all six kicks Week 10

    Gonzalez made all four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries during Sunday's 32-30 win against the Bills.

    Analysis: With 14 points during this Week 10 epic, Gonzalez moved into 13th place in total points (74) and 12th in points per game (8.2) among NFL kickers this season. The latter mark is ahead of his 7.9 points per game from a season ago, placing him on the fringe of weekly relevance as a complement to the league's seventh-best scoring attack (29.6 points per game) and the No. 1 offense overall (425.4 yards per game).

  • Misses potential game-tying kick

    Gonzalez made one of two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted from 37 yards on his first field goal but didn't have enough leg on a 49-yard attempt to tie the game just after the two-minute warning. That costly miss came after a turbulent outing in Arizona's game prior, so Gonzalez will undoubtedly aim for more consistency ahead of this Sunday's visit from the Bills.

    Analysis: Gonzalez was busy Sunday night, but he made a pair of clutch kicks that could be defining moments for Arizona's season. The fourth-year kicker connected on a 44-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. He had a chance to win the game with 2:47 remaining in the extra frame, but he sent a 41-yarder wide left, setting the Seahawks up with good field position. However, Russell Wilson tossed an interception, and Gonzalez was afforded a chance to make up for…read more

  • Nails lone field goal

    Gonzalez connected on his one field-goal attempt and added five extra points in Monday's 38-10 win against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Two weeks in a row Gonzalez has yet to miss an attempt. The Cardinals' offense was incredibly efficient, scoring touchdowns on all but one of their attempts inside the opponent's 30-yard line. Expect a similar type of performance against the Seahawks' defense that is currently allowing 27 points per game.

  • Hits all four kicks Sunday

    Gonzalez hit his sole field-goal attempt and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 30-10 road win versus the Jets.

    Analysis: After not getting a FGA in Week 4, Gonzalez nailed a 47-yarder in the second quarter Sunday, bringing him to 4-for-6 from beyond 40 yards on the season. He's also attempted exactly three PATs in all five games, missing one along the way. Gonzalez is averaging just 6.4 points per contest, though, which ranks in a tie for 25th among the league's placekickers.

  • Limited chances Sunday

    Gonzalez did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Gonzalez didn't get many opportunities to score, but he at least converted each effort when called upon. Although he's managed just eight points over the past two weeks, his matchup against a poor Jets team this Sunday could offer more chances to make an impact.

  • Misses extra point

    Gonzalez made his only field-goal attempt but missed one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted from 54 yards on his lone field goal but kicked wide right on his second PAT attempt, giving him a couple misses from that distance through just three games this season. Although Gonzalez sports a respectable 23 points to date, he'll want to cut out his simple mistakes and stop costing his team easy points going forward.

  • Hits all six kicks Week 2

    Gonzalez nailed all three field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 30-15 victory against Washington.

    Analysis: Gonzalez was busy from the outset of the contest, hitting two extra points in the first quarter and not looking back. Along the way, he made field goals from 49, 33 and 28 yards Week 2. With 18 points through two games, Gonzalez sits in a tie for eighth among kickers in scoring and is a good bet to remain in the top 10, as he's attached to a Cardinals offense led by Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins and Kenyan Drake.

  • Scores six points in opener

    Gonzalez made one of three field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 24-20 victory at San Francisco.

    Analysis: During his breakout 2019 campaign, Gonzalez missed just four field goals in 16 games, three of them from 40-49 yards. In Week 1 of this year, his misfires came from 52 and 49 yards, while his sole success was a 56-yarder. Gonzalez will look to get back on track this coming Sunday against the Washington Football Team, whose stingy defense could force the Cardinals into more FGAs than PATs.

  • Signs tender with Cards

    Gonzalez signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Cardinals on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: In his first full season in Arizona last year, Gonzalez finished fourth in the NFL with 127 points, powered by 31 field goals (fourth) and 34 extra points (tied for 15th). His accuracy was on point as well, as evidenced by him making 89 percent of his field-goal attempts and missing just one PAT. The performance was enough for the Cardinals to place a second-round tender on the kicker, who should be among the league leaders yet again in 2020 supplementing an ascendent offense led by Kyler…read more

  • Receives second-round tender

    The Cardinals applied a second-round tender to Gonzalez on Monday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old converted 31 of 35 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point attempts in 2019, finishing the season fourth in the NFL in points. Gonzalez is a restricted free agent and can still receive an offer sheet from interested teams, but it's unlikely any are willing to fork up a second-round pick.

  • Ends 2019 fourth in points

    Gonzalez connected on 31 of 35 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 point-after tries during the 2019 campaign.

    Analysis: Gonzalez lacked consistency during stints with the Browns and Cardinals in his first two pro campaigns, striking true on 70.6 percent of his 34 field-goal attempts in 23 games. On the other hand, he had similar success to 2019 on extra points (33 of 37), so there were signs that competency was lurking. A restricted free agent in March, Gonzalez may move further up the kicker ranks next season if he stays in the desert, as the team embarks on the second year of the Kyler Murray-Kliff Kingsbury…read more

  • Makes five kicks Sunday

    Gonzalez made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-13 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Gonzalez missed his first field goal since Week 5 when his 45-yard attempt was blocked during the third quarter, though he still converted from 22 and 46 yards Sunday. The 24-year-old is enjoying a fantastic first full season in Arizona, as he's 30-for-34 on field goals and 31-for-32 on extra points through 15 games.

    Analysis: Gonzalez hasn't missed a field goal since Week 5, including four kicks from beyond 40 yards over those nine games. The 24-year-old kicker has been superb this year, making 28 of 31 field goals (90 percent) and 28 of 29 extra points (97 percent).

  • Another clean outing

    Gonzalez connected on a 30-yard field goal and two extra points in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: After not attempting a field goal in Week 13, Gonzalez got back on track with a perfect Week 14 performance. The third-year pro continues to be lights out, converting 27 of 30 field goals (90 percent), including six of eight tries from beyond 40 yards. Arizona hosts the Browns in Week 15.

  • Makes lone extra point

    Gonzalez didn't try a field goal but connected on his only extra-point try in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The Cardinals struggled to the tune of just 198 yards of total offense and trailed by 20 points at halftime, so it was a negative game script for Gonzalez, who didn't try an extra point until the fourth quarter. Despite the disappointing performance, fantasy owners should still feel comfortable deploying Gonzalez against the Steelers in Week 14 since he's second in the league with 26 converted field goals this year.

  • Misses first extra point

    Gonzalez made both field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries during Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Gonzalez converted field goals from 26 and 43 yards out during the Week 11 loss, but his missed extra point put a damper on an otherwise solid performance. Arizona's next matchup will come Dec. 1 against the Rams, during which Gonzalez will look to avoid any hiccups.

  • Another perfect outing

    Gonzalez converted both field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gonzalez has now made 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and all 18 extra-point tries this season. His toughest attempt of the day came in the form of a 54-yard conversion. The 2017 seventh-round pick will look to keep his momentum up against a stingy 49ers' defense Week 11.

  • Accrues five points Thursday

    Gonzalez hit his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Thursday's 28-25 defeat to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Gonzalez attempted between two and five field goals in each of the first eight games of the season, so Thursday's one try marked a season low. Moreover, he missed out on a PAT when the Cardinals went for two to cut the lead to three following Andy Isabella's 88-yard TD catch with less than five minutes remaining. Gonzalez will look to bounce back in a Week 10 matchup in Tampa Bay.
