The Jets have elevated K Spencer Shrader from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
Shrader (6-2, 200) signed with Jets practice squad on Oct. 30. An undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame and South Florida, Shrader kicked for the Colts in their Week 1 contest against the Texans following an injury to Matt Gay. He made all three of his extra point attempts and was released on Oct. 2. Shrader re-signed a week later before being released again on Oct. 16. He kicked for USF for 4 seasons and made 70% of his field goal attempts before transferring to Notre Dame in 2024. With the Fighting Irish, he connected on 15 of 22 attempts, including a career-long 54-yarder, and was 61 of 62 extra points.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Green & White also released K Riley Patterson and signed former Packers and Niners kicker Anders Carlson to the practice squad.<\/p>\n
“We are just looking for a live leg,” HC Jeff Ulbrich said of the transactions Friday. “So, we brought a guy in that’s got a live leg, that’s kicked in the NFL, and we think Spencer Shrader has a live leg, so that’s ultimately what it came down to was the strength of the leg, and Shrader kicked very well [Friday] so I think he’ll get the nod Sunday.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets have elevated K Spencer Shrader from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,2604,1327,5016,7,929,88,6,3571],"class_list":{"0":"post-166251","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizonacardinals","11":"tag-cardinals","12":"tag-ethan-greenberg","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-latest-headlines","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-transactions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114763279113385919","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
