Former Arizona State kicker Zane Gonzalez will be taking over place kicking duties for the Carolina Panthers, starting this week. Carolina signed Gonzalez off the Lions’ practice squad Tuesday after he had worked out for the Panthers over the summer. The team waived Ryan Santoso, who went 2 for 2 on field goal attempts in the win over the Jets, but missed an extra point.
In his still young NFL career, Gonzalez has had stints with the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals. He’s a 78% field goal kicker as a professional, and will be a member of the Panthers active roster for at least three weeks.
