The Cardinals this week insisted they stay with kicker Zane Gonzalez despite his recent bouts. But now they have no choice but to replace him, at least for this week.
Gonzalez was excluded from Sunday’s game against the Giants because of a back injury. It had previously been classified as questionable.
The Cardinals are likely to get kicker Mike Nugent from their training team to kick on Sunday.
If Nugent kicks well on Sunday, he could get the Cardinals to reconsider their commitment to Gonzalez.
Guy should be out permanently pretty soon. A 72% field goal kicker usually does not have a long shelf life.
His career average is 78% and he was 88% just last year. While he’s had a rough year, be careful what you wish for when you start playing musical table football.
