The Denver Broncos signed former Baltimore Ravens kicker Steve Hauschka to kick Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals due to regular kicker Matt Prater's right groin injury.

Prater didn't make the trip with the team, the team announced.

To create a roster spot for Hauschka, offensive lineman Stanley Daniels was released.

Prater has connected on 16 of 18 field goals this season, missing one extra point.

Hauschka struggled with the Ravens and was replaced by Billy Cundiff, missing pressure kicks and converting just 10 of 15 field goals.

Hauschka does have a strong leg.

He has previous stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions.

A former soccer player who didn't play football until he was a sophomore in college, Hauschka hit all four of his field goals in the preseason with the Lions.

Daniels had started four games this season for Denver.
