Shrader signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Shrader signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in the spring and, due to a Matt Gay injury, he was their Week 1 kicker. He made all three PATs but didn't attempt a field goal. Since then, he has bounced off and on the team's practice squad. He'll now spend Wednesday competing with Riley Patterson to see who will kick for the Jets on Thursday against the Texans, as Greg Zuerlein (knee) is not expected to play.

Rotowire
Shrader converted all three of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Matt Gay (hernia) was unable to practice leading up to Week 1, which prompted the Colts to promote Shrader from the practice squad. Shrader didn't end up attempting a field goal in Sunday's loss, though he was perfect on all of his extra-point attempts. Shrader will likely be elevated to the active roster for Week 2 against the Packers if Gay is unable to participate in practice.
