Hall will still be on a snap count Sunday, according to Saleh, as the Jets continue to gradually increase his workload following the second-year running back’s ACL recovery. Greg Zuerlein made all his kicks in the Jets’ season-opening win over the Bills. Offensive tackles Duane Brown (shoulder) and Mekhi Becton (knee), and running back Breece Hall (knee), were the other three names on the Jets’ final injury report with questionable designations. “Joe and the staff, they’re on it, to get all these kickers in for a workout to see which one would be best available come Sunday,” Saleh said. When asked what kind of a curveball this has thrown at the Jets, given everything that already has unfolded since their regular season began, Saleh said it’s “more like a knuckleball.” The 35-year-old, in his second season with the Jets, converted 81.1 percent of field goals and 96.6 percent of extra points in 2022. Zuerlein made all three field goals in the Jets’ 22-16 victory over the Bills on Monday, as well as his lone extra point. “It’s not serious,” Saleh said of Zuerlein’s injury, “but serious enough to bring this game in question.” He also has been a kicker, most recently when he took over for the injured Michael Badgley and was kicker and punter for the first four games of the 2019 season for the Chargers. Greg Zuerlein was a surprise addition to the Jets’ injury report. Long last appeared in a game with the Chargers in 2021. Seibert was the Browns’ kicker in 2019, but hasn’t logged more than six games in a season since. Wright served as the Jaguars’ kicker in 2021 and played in a combined six games last season with the Chiefs and Steelers. Shudak appeared in one game last season with the Titans. The Jets worked out kickers Austin Seibert, Caleb Shudak and Matthew Wright, as well as punter Ty Long, according to NFL Network. He wasn’t listed on the injury report Thursday since the details weren’t known until after the report had been finalized. Greg Zuerlein didn’t practice Friday due a groin injury suffered in practice Thursday, according to head coach Robert Saleh, and he’s “50/50” for their game Sunday against the Cowboys. The Jets’ ability to generate points already took a hit Monday when Aaron Rodgers tore his left Achilles, and now, they might have a kicking problem, too.
