Report: Jets sign 2 kickers to practice squad ahead of 'TNF'
East Rutherford, NJ -- October 14, 2024 -- After missing two field goals run the second half, Greg Zuerlein of the Jets leaves the field at the end of the game. The Buffalo Bills came to MetLife Stadium to play the NY Jets. The Jets played their first game under new interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. The New York Jets are signing Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader to the practice squad with the intent of having one of those kickers play Thursday against the visiting Houston Texans, NFL Network reported.
Both players worked out on Tuesday for the Jets (2-6), whose kicker, Greg Zuerlein, is nursing a left knee injury.
Zuerlein, 36, has made just 9 of 15 field-goal attempts -- with a long of 40 yards -- and 13 of 14 extra-point tries this season.
Patterson, 25, made 59 of 67 field-goal attempts and 93 of 97 PATs in 39 career games with the Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns since entering the league in 2024.
An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, Shrader, 25, made all three of his extra-point attempts while kicking in one game for the Indianapolis Colts this season.
