Spencer Shrader Signed by Chiefs as Kicker

The New York Jets are facing a kicker crisis as Spencer Shrader was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs to fill in for the injured Harrison Butker, making him the Jets' fourth kicker in four games. Shrader had just made both of his field-goal attempts in his debut for New York, leading to disappointment for the Jets who had offered him a spot on their 53-man roster. With veteran Greg Zuerlein on injured reserve and Riley Patterson released after a brief stint, Anders Carlson is set to be elevated as the new kicker for the upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts. Carlson, a former sixth-round draft pick, has experience from his time with the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. The Jets have not had such a revolving door at the kicker position since 1979, highlighting the team's struggle to find stability in this role.
