FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets' kicking carousel is spinning again.
Anders Carlson could be the team's fourth kicker in as many games when the Jets host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
That's because Spencer Shrader, who made both of his field-goal attempts last week in his New York debut, was signed by Kansas City off the Jets' practice squad Thursday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.
The Chiefs needed a kicker after Harrison Butker was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to announce the roster moves.
Carlson, who was signed to the Jets' practice squad last week, is likely to follow Greg Zuerlein, Riley Patterson and Shrader in New York's kicker shuffle.
Patterson, who’s a free agent, joined Austin Seibert, Ryan Santoso and Aldrick Rosas on the 2021 Detroit Lions, the most recent team to use different kickers in four straight games.
The only time the Jets have used four kickers at any point in a season was 1979, when they had Pat Leahy, Rich Szaro, Toni Linhart and Dave Jacobs.
Zuerlein was New York's kicker to start the season, but he was placed on IR with an injured non-kicking left leg on Oct. 30. Shrader and Riley Patterson were signed to the practice squad as replacements.
Patterson was signed to the active roster a few hours before the game against Houston on Oct. 31 and made both of his extra point attempts. But the Jets released him and promoted Shrader for the game at Arizona.
“I thought he handled it really well,” Jets special teams Brant Boyer said of Shrader less than 30 minutes before reports circulated that the Chiefs signed him. “Kid's got a lot of talent. I think he handled it well doing what we asked him to do and syncing up with those guys and doing a good job in the game, for sure.”
ESPN reported the Jets offered Shrader a spot on their 53-man active roster, but the kicker opted to go to the undefeated Chiefs.
Carlson was with San Francisco earlier this season and was 5 of 5 on field goal attempts and 3 of 4 on extra points in two games in place of the injured Jake Moody and Matthew Wright. He was a sixth-round pick of Green Bay last year out of Auburn and was 27 of 33 on field goals and 34 of 39 on extra points in 17 games as a rookie with the Packers.
Wide receiver Davante Adams missed his second straight day of practice with an illness and a sore wrist, but was seen in the locker room after practice and still could play Sunday. ... LB C.J. Mosley (neck), LT Tyron Smith (neck) and OL Jake Hanson (hamstring) also remained out. ... DL Solomon Thomas (knee) and CB Brandin Echols (concussion) returned to practice on a limited basis. Also limited were CB D.J. Reed (hip), RT Morgan Moses (knee), CB Michael Carter II (back), RG Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) and LB Chazz Surratt (heel).

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Multiple people were shot Saturday in the area of Brown University, police said, as the Ivy League school issued an active shooter alert and urged students and staff to take shelter during the second day of final exams.
Police did not immediately release details about the number of victims, their conditions or the circumstances of the shooting.
University officials initially told students and staff that a suspect was in custody, before later saying that was not the case and that police were still searching for a suspect or suspects, according to alerts issued through Brown’s emergency notification system.
“We’re still getting information about what’s going on, but we’re just telling people to lock their doors and to stay vigilant,” said Providence Councilmember John Goncalves, whose ward includes the Brown campus. “As a Brown alum, someone who loves the Brown community and represents this area, I’m heartbroken. My heart goes out to all the family members and the folks who’ve been impacted.”
The reported shooting occurred near the Barus & Holley building, a seven-story complex that houses the university’s School of Engineering and physics department. According to the university’s website, the building includes more than 100 laboratories, dozens of classrooms and offices.
Engineering design exams were underway in the building when the shooting occurred.
President Donald Trump said late in the afternoon that he has been briefed on the shooting.
“God bless the victims and the families of the victims!” he said on his social media site.
Students were urged to shelter in place as police responded to the scene, and people were told to avoid the area. A police officer warned media to take cover in vehicles because the area was still an active scene.
Officials cautioned that information remained preliminary as investigators worked to determine what had occurred.
Police were actively investigating and still gathering information from the scene, said Kristy DosReis, the chief public information officer for the city of Providence. The FBI said it was assisting in the response.
Brown is a private institution with roughly 7,300 undergraduate students and more than 3,000 graduate students. Saturday was the second day of final exams for the fall semester.
