The New York Jets have claimed kicker Blake Grupe from the Indianapolis Colts following the conclusion of roster cuts. Grupe, who has experience with the New Orleans Saints and the Colts, has yet to see action this season, as he was inactive for the Jets' opener with Jason Sanders handling kicking duties. Grupe, a former standout at Notre Dame, had a strong start to his NFL career but faced challenges last season, including a release from the Saints after struggling with field goals. His performance in college and the NFL shows a mix of promise and inconsistency, leading to opportunities with multiple teams.
