Signed to Jets' practice squad Sanders was signed to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

Impact Sanders has been through quite the ordeal with the Jets, going from being the presumed starter, to being released, and now back with the team's practice squad. Sanders will provide New York with an experienced option to turn to if new addition Blake Grupe struggles early in the 2026 campaign.

Cut loose by New York Sanders was released by the Jets on Monday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Impact Sanders appeared likely to operate as New York's starting kicker in 2026 after the team let Cade York go on Tuesday, but after the team added Blake Grupe on Monday, Sanders will hit the open market. The kicker made two of three field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on PATs during the preseason, and he will now look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Still in competition for starting role Sanders isn't a lock to secure the starting kicker role with the Jets this season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sanders was the last man standing at kicker with New York after the team waived Cade York on Tuesday, but the team claimed Blake Grupe off waivers Monday, complicating the situation again. Sanders is expected to compete with Grupe for the starting job ahead of Week 1 against the Titans on Sept. 13.

Jets kicking nightmare finally ends as Cade York loses competition The New York Jets have released Cade York, clearing the way for veteran Jason Sanders to be the kicker during Week 1 of the 2026 season.

AUGUST 25 • THEJETPRESS.COM

Looks likely to enter Week 1 as Jets' kicker Sanders appears to be the frontrunner to open the season as the Jets' kicker after Cade York was waived Tuesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Jets brought in both Sanders and York on one-year deals earlier in the offseason to compete for the kicking job throughout training camp and the preseason. Sanders' longer track record of NFL success gave him an early edge in the job battle, and he ended up pulling away from York after converting both of his point-after attempts as well as field-goal attempts from 39 and 47 yards in the first two preseason contests. New York could still look to the free-agent or trade market over the next couple of weeks to bring in some new competition, but barring any other additions to the roster, Sanders will head into Week 1 as the Jets' kicker.

Perfect in win Sanders converted his sole field goal attempt and only PAT in Friday night's preseason game against the Steelers.

Impact Sanders contributed four of the Jets' 17 points, making his 39-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Cade York initially started the game for the Jets, missing a field goal in the second quarter. Sanders' performance likely further increased his chances of securing the starting role for the 2026 regular season.

Competing with York in New York Sanders is set to battle Cade York (groin) for the Jets' kicker job in training camp, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Sanders didn't play in 2025 due to a hip injury, but he converted 90.2 percent of field-goal attempts for the Dolphins during the 2024 regular season, missing only four times on 41 attempts. If Sanders regains pre-injury form, he would be the favorite to beat out York, who has a career 73.3-percent conversion rate (33-for-45) on field-goal attempts.
