Jets' Kicker Dilemma: Who Will Make the Cut?
9 Sep
Summary
- Coach Glenn remains undecided on the starting kicker for the opener.
- Blake Grupe was claimed off waivers, leading to Jason Sanders' release.
- Sanders is currently on the practice squad as the competition continues.
As the Jets prepare for their season opener against the Titans, a key position remains undecided: kicker. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed on Tuesday that the team has not yet determined who will handle kicking duties in Nashville. This uncertainty follows the recent claim of kicker Blake Grupe off waivers, which initially led to Jason Sanders being released from the active roster. Sanders has since returned to the practice squad, keeping the competition open.
Coach Glenn stated he is not panicking about the situation, acknowledging that both Grupe and Sanders are capable. The ultimate decision will focus on selecting the best individual for the role. While the overall success of the Jets' season may depend more on other positions, a misstep at kicker could prove costly, making this a significant choice for Glenn as he aims to improve upon his first season.
