Commanders sign K Greg Joseph to practice squad

The Commanders may need a backup plan at kicker this weekend, so they’ve added a veteran option to the practice squad.

Agent Brett Tessler announced that his client Greg Joseph has signed to Washington’s practice squad. The Commanders have Zane Gonzalez on their injury report heading into Sunday’s game against the Saints.

Joseph was 13-of-16 on field goals and 6-of-6 on extra points in six games with the Giants earlier this season. He spent the previous three seasons as the kicker for the Vikings.

Gonzalez was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday due to a left foot injury, but he moved up to full participation on Thursday. Friday’s injury report will bring further word on his availability for this weekend.
