The Arizona Cardinals promoted Mike Nugent to the active roster and ruled out fellow kicker Zane Gonzalez for Sunday’s road game against the New York Giants.
Gonzalez was nursing a back injury and had been listed as questionable to play for the Cardinals (6-6).
Nugent, 38, had a brief stint with the New England Patriots last season. In four games, Nugent converted 5 of 8 field goal attempts and 15 of 16 extra-point tries.
Nugent has made 258 of 319 field-goal attempts and 378 of 393 extra-point tries in 168 career games with the New York Jets (2005-08), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009), Cardinals (2009), Cincinnati Bengals (2010-16), Chicago Bears (2017), Dallas Cowboys (2017), then-Oakland Raiders (2018) and Patriots (2019).
Gonzalez, 25, has converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts and 38 of 39 extra-point tries in 12 games this season.
He has made 71 of 91 field-goal attempts and 105 of 111 extra-point tries in four seasons with the Cleveland Browns (2017-18) and Cardinals (2018-20).
