Jets Kicker Battle Heads to Week One | New York Jets News

The Jets’ kicker dilemma rages on as they race toward Week One, with Blake Grupe and Jason Sanders locked in a tense battle for the job. After releasing Nick Folk and cycling through options — including a preseason stint with the Colts — the team’s special teams coordinator Chris Banjo is searching for confidence and consistency. Sanders, despite recent misses, has handled the pressure like a pro, staying focused and competitive. The decision looms Saturday, when practice squad elevations are announced — if Sanders gets the call, he’s likely to start; otherwise, Grupe steps up against the Titans. This saga, a familiar headache for Jets fans, remains one of the biggest storylines heading into kickoff. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
