Awarded spot on Jets roster The Jets signed to Sanders off their practice squad Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact Though New York cut him at the conclusion of the preseason, Sanders re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad and was elevated for each of the Jets' first three games of the season. He went 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and drilled all five of his point-after attempts during that stretch, with his performance earning him a spot on the 53-man roster. Sanders should have more security as the Jets' kicker moving forward after New York waived Blake Grupe in a corresponding move.

Back to practice squad Sanders reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Sanders made both of his kicks in Sunday's loss to the Lions, making one field goal and an extra point. Through three games to begin the season, Sanders is 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 5-for-5 on PATs.

Nails both kicks against Detroit Sanders converted on a 42-yard field goal and made his lone extra-point try during the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Sanders' field goal in the third quarter reduced the Jets' deficit to 17-10, though he didn't end up attempting an extra point following each of the Jets' two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Through three regular-season games, the veteran kicker is 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries. Sanders has been elevated from the practice squad three times, so he would have to be signed to the Jets' active roster in order to suit up for the team against the Bears in Week 4.

Impact Sanders will once again be the Jets' primary kicker for the third consecutive week and is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact It'll be Sanders' third elevation from the practice squad this season, which means the Jets will need to sign him to the 53-man roster thereafter if he's to continue kicking for them. They've also kept Blake Grupe around, perhaps hoping that he'll be ready for the job by Week 4.
