Taylor Bertolet is the only player of his kind on the New York Jets‘ roster. Yet, his status was nonetheless in question entering Saturday’s preseason game against the New Orleans Saints.
The 2019 preseason was, unfortunately, turning into a case of déjà vu for the kicker. He was called back to Jets camp after the sudden retirement of Chandler Catanzaro. It was a tall task for Bertolet, whose lone professional regular-season experience has come in the deceased Alliance of American Football.
The experience seemed to be too much to bear after last week’s visit to Atlanta.
