The Tuesday Riley Patterson rumors will produce a Dolphins deal. Miami is bringing in the well-traveled kicker after a successful workout, NFL.com’s Cameron Wolfe reports.
Patterson joined Greg Zuerlein, Eddy Pineiro and Zane Gonzalez in attending the Dolphins audition. Patterson will be the Dolphins’ Jason Sanders fill-in, with Wolfe indicating this is a practice squad deal that will lead to a promotion ahead of the season. Sanders is on short-term IR to open the year.
The Dolphins are Patterson’s sixth team since July 2024. The Jaguars, Commanders, Jets, Falcons and Browns rostered Patterson between July and December last year. Despite his five-team tour, Patterson only kicked in five games last season. He was 16 of 16 on extra points and 4 of 7 on field goals. In his most recent extended work (with the 2023 Lions), Patterson — a 2023 trade acquisition from Jacksonville — was 15-for-17 on FG tries.
More to come.
