Player Notes
October 6, 2008
Mike Nugent is not expected to be ready to play in Week 6 as he is still hindered by his thigh injury, according to the NY Daily News.

Our View:The Jets are coming off a bye, but Nugent needs more time to recover. Jay Feely looks to remain the Jets' kicker for at least one more week.
October 1, 2008
Mike Nugent missed Wednesday's practice, according to the Star-Ledger. He has missed three games with a thigh injury.

Our View:The Jets have a bye in Week 5 to give him extra time to recover.
September 16, 2008
Mike Nugent will likely miss Week 3 according to the New York Post due to a pulled quad.

Our View:Jay Feely will get the call again if Nugent cannot go. Feely is not a top play as he proved last week when he missed a 31 yard field goal.
September 14, 2008
PK Mike Nugent, QB Brett Ratcliff (3rd), QB Erik Ainge, WR David Clowney, CB Justin Miller, G Robert Turner, DT Kareem Brown.

Our View:Nugent is OUT due to a thigh injury, and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Jay Feely.
September 10, 2008
Jets kicker Mike Nugent is still dealing with a thigh injury and will not play in the team's Week 2 game, and the team signed Jay Feely to be the kicker, according to the New York Daily News.

Our View:No injured kicker is worth hanging on to in fantasy leagues. If you simply must have a Jets kicker, then pick up Feely.
September 7, 2008
Kicker Mike Nugent came back in the third quarter to kick an extra point for the Jets. He also handled the subsequent kickoff despite an apparent thigh injury. The kickoff was a low bouncer.

Our View:Nugent clearly isn't 100 percent, but we hope this return means the team has ruled out serious damage.
September 7, 2008
Kicker Mike Nugent has a thigh injury, the CBS telecast confirms. He was seen warming up (and limping) on the sidelines in the second quarter, but the Jets elected to go for it on fourth down rather than try a 40-yard field goal. The Jets also went for a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown.

Our View:Clearly the Jets are worried about Nugent's ailment, although it's not to a point where he has headed to the locker room. We'll continue to look for updates.
September 7, 2008
Kicker Mike Nugent missed a 32-yard field goal try during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He limped off the field after apparently tweaking his left leg.

Our View:Nugent went off under his own power, which is a good sign. We'll update his status when more is known.
August 18, 2008
Mike Nugent aggravated coach Eric Mangini when he missed two field goal attempts on Saturday against Washington, according to the NY Post. He missed wide right on a 43-yard attempt, and hit the left upright on a shorter try from 23-yards. Mangini said, "Those field goals are pretty high-percentage field goals, in the 90 percent range league-wide. Those you have to make. It's a chip shot. The 43-yarder is a lot tougher, but when you're that close (23 yards), those have to be like gimmes."

Our View:Mangini is upset right now, but Nugent shouldn't be in jeoparady of losing his job. His fantasy value has improved since Brett Favre joined the team, as there should be more scoring chances with a more efficient and balanced offense.
