Zuerlein (toe) is considered to have an early leg up over Eddy Pineiro for the Jets' starting kicker job, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Zuerlein missed Wednesday's practice with a sore toe, but he is not expected to miss much time due to this issue. The 34-year-old went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts during practice Monday, and his longevity should give him a distinct advantage in the job battle.
