The Jets claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin and defensive lineman Trevon Coley off waivers on Monday.
McLaughlin has played in three games for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. He made four of his five field goal attempts and three of his four extra points. McLaughlin was previously with the Vikings in 2020 and split time between the Bills, Vikings, Chargers, 49ers and Colts in 2019 after going undrafted out of Illinois. For McLaughlin’s career, he’s 22-28 on field goals and 29-30 on extra points.
This pickup doesn’t bode well for Sergio Castillo, who went 1-4 on field goals in Sunday’s 40-3 loss to the Seahawks. Sam Ficken is also expected to return to practice this week, so there will be added competition ahead of Sunday’s game against the Rams.
As for Coley, he played in six games for the Arizona Cardinals this season. He registered 14 total tackles, three for loss, and one sack. The Cardinals waived Coley on Saturday. Coley has spent time with the Ravens, Browns, Colts and Washington.
