Jets place kicker Greg Zuerlein on injured reserve, Riley Patterson or Spencer Shrader to step in.

Why it matters: Zuerlein's injury and inconsistent performance have prompted the Jets to make a change at the kicker position.

• Zuerlein has struggled this season, with a career-low 60% success rate on field goals.
• His missed kicks have cost the team crucial points in close games.

What's new: The Jets have placed Zuerlein on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, sidelining him for the upcoming game against the Texans.

Yes, but: The Jets have signed Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader from the practice squad to serve as the team's kicker in Zuerlein's absence.

• Patterson has shown promise with an 88% success rate on field goals in his previous stints with other teams.
• Shrader has limited experience, having kicked in only one game this season.

What to watch: The performance of Patterson or Shrader will be closely monitored in their first game action for the Jets.

• Their ability to convert field goals and extra points will be vital in determining the outcome of the game.
• Their performance could also impact future decisions regarding the team's kicking situation.

What's next: The Jets will continue to evaluate Zuerlein's injury and assess the progress of Patterson and Shrader.

• Depending on the severity of Zuerlein's injury, he may remain on injured reserve for an extended period.
• The team will consider their options moving forward, including potential roster moves or sticking with the current kicking duo.

The bottom line: With Zuerlein sidelined, the Jets turn to Patterson and Shrader to fill the void at the kicker position.

• Their performances will play a significant role in determining the team's success in upcoming games.
• The Jets hope that this change brings more consistency and reliability to their kicking game.
