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. The veteran kicker figures to handle duties again in Week 4 against the Bears, but he's not a recommended fantasy bet in this low-scoring Jets offense.

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.

Uses third elevation The Jets elevated Sanders from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

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. The 30-year-old has now expended all three of his practice squad elevations, meaning he will need to be signed to the Jets' active roster to kick for the team in Week 4 against the Bears.

Scheduled for elevation again Sanders will kick for the Jets this Sunday at Detroit, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

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.

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

Impact Sanders was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row ahead of Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers. The kicker made his only field-goal attempt in the contest, converting a 32-yarder in the fourth quarter. Sanders can be elevated one more time before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster, and he appears likely to operate as the Jets' starting kicker again Week 3 versus Detroit.

Will kick again this week Sanders will remain the Jets' kicker for Sunday's game against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Blake Grupe remains on the roster for the Jets, but for the second time in as many weeks Sanders will be brought up from the practice squad to handle the kicking duties. Sanders made three of four field-goal attempts -- his lone miss came from 54 yards -- and both of his extra-point tries in Week 1, and another steady showing would help him secure his grasp on the job.

Elevated after winning battle The Jets elevated Sanders from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanders won the kicking battle over Cade York this summer despite neither instilling confidence in the Jets' coaching staff. The team elected to sign Blake Grupe, who also has not shown enough to start, giving Sanders a chance in Week 1. If Sanders has a strong week, he will likely be elevated once more in Week 2 before the team must decide who will truly hold the starting job throughout the regular season.
