The New York Jets’ seemingly endless kicking saga just got another chapter with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting Josh Karty had a workout in New York. This team, fresh off adding a new kicker via waiver wire, is already looking at more options for a situation that has been wild in recent months and years.
The Never-Ending Kicking Roller Coaster
Just in the last week, the Jets’ kicking situation has been a dizzying ride. They named Jason Sanders the starter, only for him to have an abysmal effort in the preseason finale. Then Blake Grupe was claimed off waivers. Now, Sanders is on the practice squad, Grupe is on the active roster, and they’re locked in an ongoing position battle. Karty, 24, was a 2024 sixth-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams. Across two seasons, he’s hit 79.6% of his field goal attempts and just 88.7% of his extra points. If he gets added, he’d likely take Sanders’ spot on the practice squad. What a mess, right?
This whole situation just keeps getting more complicated. We know the Jets Wire will keep us updated, and we’ll be glued to what happens next with this kicking situation as the 2026 NFL season continues to unfold.
