The Jets have waived kicker Cade York, making Jason Sanders the lone kicker on the roster. York struggled in practice, missing two of five attempts during a session and failing to convert a 59-yard field goal in the preseason. Sanders has been more reliable, going 2-for-2 during the preseason. Despite this, both kickers faced difficulties, suggesting the Jets may seek another kicker before the regular season begins. Sanders, who previously played for the Dolphins, is coming off a season where he did not play due to an injury.
