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.

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.
