Jets cut Cairo Santos, Chandler Catanzaro's presumed replacement | What it means for kicking battle

So much for kicker Cairo Santos replacing Chandler Catanzaro with the Jets this year.

The Jets on Wednesday cut Santos, who couldn't get healthy and had been battling a nagging leg injury throughout the preseason. He didn't kick in the first two preseason games.

The move comes as little surprise. On Tuesday, the Jets claimed ex-Jaguars kicker Jason Myers off waivers from Seattle. Myers will now compete with Taylor Bertolet -- who has zero NFL regular season experience -- in the final two preseason games.

The Jets face the Giants on Friday night, in their third preseason game.
