Former New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland was signed to the Arizona Cardinals practice squad on Wednesday. The Cardinals announced the move through social media.
Ryland began his career with the Patriots after being drafted by the organization in 2023. He had a difficult rookie season, making 16-of-25 field goals. He managed to make 24-of-25 extra points.
The Patriots selected Ryland in the fourth round with the 112th overall pick. He was the highest-drafted kicker in the Bill Belichick era in New England. However, he didn't last long and was officially released by the Patriots on August 27, after losing the starting kicking job to Joey Slye.
