Taylor Bertolet could lock up the Jets kicker spot with a strong performance in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Eagles.

He also could kick himself out of the job.

The Jets believe in Bertolet. Otherwise, they would have brought in a second kicker and had a competition. They’ve had two punters since the start of camp, after all. Bertolet has been kicking by himself since replacing Chandler Catanzaro, who retired after the Jets’ first preseason game.
