The New York Jets have placed kicker Greg Zuerlein on injured reserve due to struggles this season, missing six of 15 field-goal attempts. In response, they signed Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader to the practice squad after a two-day competition with multiple kickers.

Patterson has a solid track record, while Shrader is a rookie with limited experience. Additionally, linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball was signed, indicating C.J. Mosley's potential absence due to a neck injury.
