The Dolphins announced that kicker Zane Gonzalez and edge rusher Max Llewellyn have been elevated to their active roster for the team's upcoming game. Both players appeared in the win over the Jets.

Gonzalez, 31, joined the practice squad on Oct. 20. Against the Jets, he converted each of his four extra-point attempts after replacing Riley Patterson, who was released by the team.

The kicker had also spent the offseason program and training camp with the Dolphins. The team put him on injured reserve in August, then released him on Aug. 19 with an injury settlement.

During nine games with Atlanta last season, Gonzalez made 19-of-22 field goals and converted 17-of-18 extra points.

Llewellyn's two appearances this season include his NFL debut against the 49ers in Week 2 and the Jets victory. The Dolphins drafted him in the seventh round following his five-year career at Iowa.
