Jets Kicker Greg Zuerlein to Return for Final Games After Struggles and Injury

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich confirms Zuerlein will play against the Bills following a seven-game absence due to a knee injury.

  • Greg Zuerlein, the New York Jets kicker, will return to action against the Buffalo Bills after missing seven games with a left knee injury.
  • Zuerlein struggled earlier in the season, converting only 9 of 15 field goal attempts, leading to his placement on injured reserve in late October.
  • Despite his struggles, the Jets retained Zuerlein due to his prior reliability and a two-year, $8.4 million contract signed last offseason, which included $4.2 million in guarantees.
  • The Jets have cycled through multiple kickers during Zuerlein's absence, but interim coach Jeff Ulbrich expressed optimism that the time off provided a valuable mental and physical reset for Zuerlein.
  • Several key Jets players, including Davante Adams, Sauce Gardner, and Quinnen Williams, are listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to various injuries.
