The New York Jets announced on Tuesday that they placed kicker Greg Zuerlein (knee) and safety Chuck Clark (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve, so they will not be available to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The team also signed defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis and linebacker Jamin Davis to the active 53-man roster, signed offensive lineman David Sharpe to the practice squad, signed kicker Greg Joseph to the active roster and released kicker Anders Carlson. The Jets activated Zuerlein from IR last week, but he didn't attempt a kick in the Week 17 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills and apparently had a setback with his left knee. The 37-year-old veteran made only nine of his 15 field-goal opportunities and went 13-for-14 on extra points when healthy, so he'll likely be cut this offseason.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein did not attempt any field goals or extra points in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Zuerlein, who was activated from injured reserve earlier in the week after missing some time with a knee injury, stood by as the Jets attempted two-point conversions following their two touchdowns in the blowout loss. He will look for more work in the regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.
Greg Zuerlein, Sauce Gardner Suiting Up For Jets In Week 17
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (left knee) and cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) are both active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Both players had been listed as questionable. Zuerlein returned from injured reserve this week and is set to handle kicking duties for the first time in more than two months. He'll look to improve upon a season stat line that includes a woeful 9-for-15 success rate on field goals. Meanwhile, Gardner's presence will be key as the Jets look to slow down the Bills' dominant offense. He has 46 tackles, one sack, and just one interception through 14 contests this season.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (knee) will be back in action for the Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Zuerlein hasn't played since being placed on the injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in Week 8. Before that, Zuerlein was struggling as he has only converted 9-of-15 field goal attempts while making all but one extra point attempt. The 37-year-old hopes to get back on track over the final two games of the regular season. Given his struggles this season, fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for a streaming option in Week 17.
Per Adam Schefter, the New York Jets have placed kicker Greg Zuerlein (knee) on injured reserve. In response, they've signed kickers Spencer Shrader and Riley Patterson to their practice squad. Zuerlein popped up on the team's report Monday with a knee issue after another poor showing in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots. The 36-year-old missed another two kicks in Week 8 (one field goal, one extra point), and he'll now miss at least the team's next four outings. The long-time LA Ram has failed to connect on six field goal tries this season (9-of-15) and has mainly been unreliable for a reeling Jets squad. With New York set to host the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football, expect a decision to be made between Shrader and Patterson in short order.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (knee) was limited during Tuesday's practice session. The veteran kicker has been added to the injury report with a left knee issue ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Texans. It's worth noting that the Jets brought in kickers for a tryout on Tuesday. Zuerlein has struggled this season as he has made only 9-of-15 field goal attempts. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help as Zuerlein might not even be able to play this week.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has been inconsistent throughout the first half of the season. The veteran kicker missed a field goal and extra point during the loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Zuerlein is now 9-for-15 on field goal attempts this season. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said the team will hold a kicking competition on Tuesday. That being said, it seems like the Jets are ready to move on from Zuerlein with their season quickly slipping away. Zuerlein won't be a reliable fantasy option even if the team sticks with him for Week 9.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein saw his struggles continue in a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Zuerlein made one of his two field-goal attempts and missed one of his two extra points in the close loss to the Pats on Sunday. The veteran kicker has been erratic in 2024 as he has now missed four field goals over his past three games played. Overall, Zuerlein has hit nine of his 15 field goals through eight games. He will look to bounce back against the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will kick against the New England Patriots on the road in Week 8. Zuerlein has struggled with his accuracy in 2024, missing five of his 13 attempts thus far. He will look to turn things around against a Patriots defense that is allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to kickers this year. Zuerlein has been too erratic to trust as a starting option in fantasy heading into Week 8.
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed his lone field-goal attempt but added an extra point in a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Zuerlein has struggled of late as he has missed three field goals over the past two games and has made just eight of 13 through seven games this season. The Jets tried out other kickers last week in practice and could consider pursuing another option at the position again this week. Zuerlein will hope to remain the team's kicker heading into a Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots.
