Cut loose by Jets The Jets waived Castillo on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Impact Castillo missed three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks, predictably leading to his departure from the Jets. Sam Ficken (groin) is expected to be activated from IR and start in this week's game against the Rams, according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday. The Jets also claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers from the Jaguars in case Ficken suffers a setback.

Falls apart in blowout loss Castillo connected on just one of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-3 loss to Seattle.
Impact Castillo connected from 45 yards out on New York's opening drive but then missed from 37, 41 and 43 on three consecutive drives. If Sam Ficken (groin) is ready to return against the Rams next week, he'll undoubtedly take back kicking duties from Castillo, who may not get another opportunity even if Ficken remains sidelined.

DECEMBER 14, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Misses PAT in Week 13 Castillo didn't attempt a field goal and made two of three PAT attempts in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.
Impact New York's offense came away with touchdowns when it got in close, limiting Castillo's impact. He missed a PAT, which forced New York to go for two after a subsequent touchdown to make up the lost point. Castillo will remain New York's kicker against Seattle in Week 14 with Sam Ficken (groin) still on IR.

Misses short kick in loss Castillo made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.
Impact Castillo opened the scoring with a 38-yard make, then clanked a 29-yard chip shot off the upright just before halftime. New York got more aggressive in trying to erase a double-digit halftime deficit and didn't deliver provide another kicking opportunity for Castillo. He'll remain the starting kicker in Week 13 against the Raiders with Sam Ficken (groin) on IR.

Reclaims kicking job Castillo is slated to step back in as the Jets' kicker Sunday against the Dolphins after New York placed Sam Ficken (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet...
Impact While Ficken was out for Weeks 7 through 9 with the groin injury, Castillo filled in as the team's kicker and proved capable, converting on six of seven field-goal tries and four of four extra-point attempts. Ficken was cleared to return to action following the Jets' Week 10 bye, but he didn't look healthy in last week's loss to the Chargers, misfiring on two of his point-after attempts. The Jets will now shut Ficken down for at least three more games by placing him on IR, paving the way for Castillo to hold down the job through at least Week 14.

Inactive Sunday Castillo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Castillo went 6-for-7 on field-goal attempts and made all four PATs over the past three games, but the return of Sam Ficken (groin) relegates him to the inactive list Week 11.

Accurate in loss Castillo made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT tries in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Castillo was true from 35 and 50 yards. The kicking position has been one of the few positives for the Jets this season, as Sam Ficken (groin) missed just one field-goal attempt in six games and Castillo has missed only once in three games since being called upon to fill in.

Kicking again Week 9 Castillo is active for Monday night's matchup against the Patriots.
Impact With typical No. 1 kicker Sam Ficken (groin) having been ruled out for the AFC East clash, Castillo steps in for his third consecutive start. The 30-year-old out of West Texas A&M has thus far made four of his five field goals for New York on the season, connecting on his lone try from 50-plus yards.

Another start expected Castillo is expected to serve as the team's top kicker with Sam Ficken (groin) listed as doubtful for Monday's game, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Castillo is expected to make his third straight straight in the absence of Ficken who continues to be bothered by a nagging groin injury. Week 8 was a solid contest for the undrafted free agent as Castillo converted three of his four field-goal attempts, although he did see a kick blocked late in the first half.

Hits three of four attempts Castillo connected on three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Filling in for Sam Ficken (groin) for a second consecutive week, Castillo capped each of New York's first three drives with field goals, connecting from 39, 55 and 48 yards. His fourth field-goal attempt of the first half came from 47 yards out and was blocked. New York's sputtering offense went completely dormant after halftime, as the Jets went a third consecutive game without scoring a single point in the second half. If Ficken's unable to recover for the Week 9 clash with the Patriots, Castillo would retain the Jets' kicking duties.
