Jets Sign Two Kickers as Greg Zuerlein Heads to Injured Reserve

Struggling kicker Greg Zuerlein is placed on IR, prompting the Jets to add Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader to their practice squad.

Greg Zuerlein, the Jets' veteran kicker, has been placed on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, sidelining him for at least four games.
Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader have been signed to the Jets' practice squad, with one expected to kick in the upcoming game against the Houston Texans.
The Jets held a competition involving six kickers, ultimately selecting Patterson and Shrader to address their kicking woes.
Zuerlein has struggled this season, making only 9 of 15 field-goal attempts, which has significantly impacted the Jets' 2-6 record.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich has been noncommittal about Zuerlein's future with the team, citing the need to resolve the kicking situation.
