Jets bring in yet another kicker as season-long nightmare continues

The Jets’ kicking situation is up in the air.

Does that sound familiar?

In the wake of Anders Carlson missing an extra point and a field goal in the 19-9 loss to the Rams, the Jets signed Greg Joseph to the practice squad.

Joseph is the fourth kicker the team has employed this season since Greg Zuerlein struggled and was placed on IR with a left knee injury.

Riley Patterson, Spencer Shrader and Carlson have filled in since.

If Joseph kicks on Sunday, he’ll be the fifth kicker they’ve used this season.

“We’re going to let these guys compete as the week goes on and see how it goes, put the best guy out there,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said

He said bringing Zuerlein off IR is “absolutely been part of the conversation.’’

Asked if Zuerlein is healthy enough to kick again, Ulbrich said, “We’re going to see how he’s doing, and if he’s feeling up to it and he’s feeling good, then we’ll open up his [practice] window.’’


The Jets’ previous game against the Bills, in Week 6 at home, was Ulbrich’s debut as the team’s interim head coach.

Robert Saleh had just been fired. Tuesday, Ulbrich recalled the day of that game.

“It was exciting, it was nerve-racking, it was overwhelming, it was fun, it was all of those things,” he said. “Every emotion that you could imagine I felt, and it was a blur in a lot of ways. Since then, felt like I’ve settled in and I’m getting much more comfortable in this role. But yeah, it was definitely a whirlwind that night.’’
