New York Jets conduct workout for Justin Tucker and two other kickers
Summary

The New York Jets evaluated three placekickers during a workout on September 2. The group included eight-time All-Pro Justin Tucker, alongside Michael Badgley and Joshua Karty. This evaluation follows the team's recent move to claim Blake Grupe off waivers and the presence of Jason Sanders on the practice squad. Tucker, a former Super Bowl champion, returned to the NFL in June 2026 after being reinstated by the league. He previously played for the Baltimore Ravens until his departure in 2025 following a season in which he converted 73.3% of his field goal attempts. The veteran kicker was also subject to a 10-week suspension in 2025 due to violations of the NFL personal conduct policy.
