Ravens' Riley Patterson: Set to kick Monday
Patterson will be the Ravens' kicker for Monday night's game against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The Ravens signed Harrison Mevis to their practice squad in addition to signing Patterson to the 53-man roster Wednesday, but the team intends to utilize Patterson as the kicker for Monday's game. Patterson went 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts in five appearances with the Dolphins this season, with a long of just 41 yards. His career-long made field goal of 54 yards came with Miami last season.

Ravens' Riley Patterson: Joining Baltimore
Following a Wednesday workout, Patterson is slated to sign with Ravens, putting him on track to kick for the team Monday night against the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The Ravens also reportedly had Harrison Mevis in for a workout, but the team elected to sign Patterson ahead of Week 10 action. He'll be taking over from Jake Moody, who kicked for Baltimore in Week 9, but was signed off the practice squad by the Falcons on Tuesday. Patterson was let go by the Dolphins earlier this season after converting on seven of nine field-goal tries and five of his six extra-point attempts through the team's first five games.

Riley Patterson: Working out for Baltimore
Patterson and Harrison Mevis are among the free-agent kickers working out for Baltimore on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Riley Patterson: Loses Miami kicking job
The Dolphins released Patterson Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Miami will part ways with Patterson coming out of its Week 6 bye, after the kicker converted on seven of nine field-goal tries and five of six extra-point attempts through the team's first five games. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are expected to replace Patterson with Zane Gonzalez, who worked out for the team Tuesday and will be signed either to 53-man roster or practice squad.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Misses PAT vs. Cincinnati
Patterson made his lone field-goal attempt and went 1-for-2 one extra-point tries during the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Patterson's only field goal was a 29-yard chip shot late in the third quarter, but he missed his first point-after try of the season late in the fourth quarter. He's attempted only one field goal in each of the Dolphins' last three games, and his weekly scoring floor figures to be lower than most kickers given that Miami averages only 14.0 points per game this season, which is second-worst in the NFL only behind the Titans (11.6). The Dolphins are on a bye Week 6 before hitting the road for a Week 7 AFC East tilt against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Limited action in low-scoring loss
Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota.
Patterson was limited to just one field-goal try for the second straight week, converting a 27-yarder early in the third quarter. The kicker has gone 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts this season, and he doesn't seem likely to suddenly see more opportunities moving forward while finishing off the drives of Miami's low-scoring offense.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes only FGA in loss
Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Patterson finished off the Dolphins' first possession of the second half, converting a 37-yard field-goal try to narrow the deficit to 14-10. He didn't attempt another field goal during the contest, making it the first game this year during which he did not have multiple field-goal tries. Through three games, the kicker has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts, including 0-for-1 from 50-plus yards, and he may not get many opportunities when Miami squares off with Minnesota's impressive defense in Week 4.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Misses in blowout loss
Patterson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and his sole extra-point try during the Dolphins' 35-13 loss to the 49ers.
Patterson appears to be achieving the wrong kind of consistency. The kicker once again converted 67 percent of his field-goal attempts, missing one of his three kicks, as he did in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Raiders. Patterson moves to 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs through two games.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Misses field goal versus Raiders
Patterson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Miami's loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Patterson made kicks from 41 and 37 yards out but failed to convert on a second 41-yard attempt during the third quarter. The 27-year-old served as the Dolphins' kicker last season as well, making 27 of his 29 field-goal attempts and all but one of his 35 extra-point tries.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Fellow kicker lands on IR
With Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) having been placed on IR, Patterson is now the only kicker on the Dolphins' active roster.
During the 2025 regular season, Patterson started all 17 games for the Dolphins en route to making 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. With Gonzalez no longer in the mix, Patterson is on track to reprise his role as the team's top kicker, with his fantasy relevance linked to how well Miami's offense takes off with new QB Malik Willis at the helm.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Re-signs with Miami
The Dolphins re-signed Patterson on Thursday.
Patterson's return to Miami makes sense after he started all 17 regular-season games for the team last year, converting an impressive 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. The success Patterson demonstrated makes him the favorite to open 2026 as the Dolphins' starter, and prompted the team to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders (now with the Giants) to begin the offseason. Patterson will have competition for the No. 1 gig, though, in the form of new signee Zane Gonzalez.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Perfect in Week 18 loss
Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots.
Patterson ultimately started all 17 regular-season games for Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) never gaining clearance to return from IR. In that span, Patterson converted 27 of 29 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries, operating as one of the league's most accurate kickers. Patterson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason while Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins. With that, Patterson may need to compete for a starting gig elsewhere in the league for the 2026 season.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes all four kicks in win
Patterson made both of his field-goal attempts and both PATs in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bucs.
Patterson converted field goals from 29 and 31 yards. Through 16 games as Miami's kicker this season, Patterson has made 26 of 28 field-goal tries and 33 of 34 extra-point attempts. He won't be an exciting fantasy kicker next Sunday on the road against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Makes three PATs in loss
Patterson converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Patterson has kicked in all 15 games for Miami this season, making 24 of 26 field-goal attempts and 31 of 32 PATs. It's been a career year for the 26-year-old after he spent the previous four seasons bouncing around the league with five different teams.

Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Nails long field goal in loss
Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and didn't try any extra points in Monday's 28-15 loss to Pittsburgh.
Patterson broke open the scoring with a career-long 54-yard field goal in the second quarter -- no easy feat considering the frigid temperature in Pittsburgh. That ended up being Patterson's only kick of the game, as the Dolphins didn't score again until the fourth quarter and went for two-point tries on each of their late touchdowns. Patterson has been reliable for Miami this season, going 24-of-26 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-30 on point-after tries.
