Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Moves to IR
The New York Jets placed Greg Zuerlein (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.Zuerlein, who has made nine of his 15 field-goal attempts through eight contests to date, will thus be sidelined until at least Week 14. The Jets signed Spencer Shrader and Riley Patterson to their practice squad Wednesday, and one of the two will presumably be elevated in advance of Thursday's game against the Texans to handle kicking duties in Zuerlein's stead.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Dealing with left knee injury
Greg Zuerlein was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report with a left knee injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Zuerlein wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, but the embattled kicker appears to be dealing with a left knee injury that could affect his availability for Thursday's game against the Texans. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that the New York Jets hosted six kickers for a workout Tuesday, and if the team elects to sign someone, it would be an indication that Zuerlein is unlikely to play Thursday. Zuerlein has converted on just nine of his 15 field-goal attempts and has gone 13-for-14 on extra-point tries through the first eight games of the season.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Dreadful season continues
Greg Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.Zuerlein posted yet another subpar performance, failing to tie the game after the New York Jets' first-quarter touchdown and missing a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth. This was the third loss for the 2-6 Jets in which Zuerlein's inaccuracy played a pivotal role. Even on a short week before Thursday's home game against the Texans, it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets looked for an alternative to Zuerlein, who has six misses on 15 field-goal attempts this season.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Misses keep piling up
Greg Zuerlein missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only official PAT try in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.Zuerlein's 35-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter was blocked, keeping the New York Jets' deficit at the time at eight points. He also had a PAT blocked, but that play was erased by a penalty on the Steelers, and the Jets subsequently opted to go for two. The Jets' margin for error is nearly nonexistent at 2-5, and Zuerlein's inaccuracy has been a major factor in two of those losses, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jets look for alternatives prior to a Week 8 trip to New England. The veteran kicker has made only eight of 13 field-goal attempts this season, with no successful kicks from beyond 40 yards.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Disastrous showing Monday
Greg Zuerlein converted two of four field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.For the second time in the last three weeks, a New York Jets loss can be pinned squarely on Greg's leg. After missing a go-ahead field-goal attempt in the final minute against the Broncos in Week 4, Zuerlein clanked two second-half go-ahead field-goal attempts off the upright Monday. It was a windy night at MetLife Stadium, but the misses came from 32 and 43 yards, while Zuerlein's makes from 34 and 22 were hardly impressive. The veteran kicker's reputation has bought him some breathing room up to this point, but the Jets will likely start considering alternatives if Zuerlein's accuracy issues persist.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another light workload
Greg Zuerlein connected on his only field-goal attempt and made both PAT tries in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.Zuerlein connected from 32 yards in the third quarter after the New York Jets forewent what would have been a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter in favor of a pitiful attempt to pick up fourth-and-2 on the ground. That decision proved costly, as it forced the Jets to go for a touchdown down by six on their final possession after once again working their way into field-goal range. Zuerlein has made multiple field goals only once through five games.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Critical miss leads to Week 4 loss
Greg Zuerlein made three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.Zuerlein scored all of the New York Jets' points in this one, but his makes from 23, 35 and 40 yards were overshadowed by his missed 50-yard field-goal attempt with 47 seconds remaining, which ended the Jets' hopes of improving to 3-1. Instead, the Jets are 2-2 and Zuerlein's just 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts heading into a Week 5 trip to London to face the Vikings.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Another low-volume game
Greg Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.Zuerlein contributed only one of the NFL-record 73 field goals made in Week 2, and he converted just one yet again Thursday.

Jets' Greg Zuerlein: No FG attempts Monday
Greg Zuerlein made his lone PAT attempt and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.Zuerlein's coming off a strong season in which he made 35 of 38 field-goal attempts, but the veteran kicker didn't get a chance to show off his big leg Monday as San Francisco dominated time of possession. Forced to play catch-up, the New York Jets went for two after two of their three touchdowns. Zuerlein will hope to get more opportunities in Week 2 against the Titans.
