The Cleveland Browns kicker who missed two field goals and an extra point in the New Orleans Saints' 21-18 victory in Week 2 had a slightly torn groin, ESPN reported Monday (Oct. 15).
The injury to Zane Gonzalez occurred during pregame warmups, the report said. Both missed field goals from 44 and 52 yards, and the missed PAT, occurred in the fourth quarter. The Browns released Gonzalez soon after those missed kicks. The team did not know about the injury until halftime, the report said.
The win for the Saints prevented what could have been a fifth consecutive 0-2 start to the season.
