The Jets continue to search for an answer at kicker. 

New York is expected to move on from Kaare Vedvik and will hold a tryout for kickers Tuesday, according to a report from CBS Sports.

The report comes after Vedvik struggled in the Jets' 17-16 Week 1 loss to the Bills, missing an extra point and a 45-yard field goal attempt. 

"We just have to get better," Jets coach Adam Gase said after the matchup. "We have to make extra points. We have to make field goals. We can't be losing points in those areas of the field."

New York has had trouble finding a kicker since it let Jason Myers leave and sign with the Seahawks this offseason. Chandler Catanzaro retired after the team's first preseason game and his replacement, Taylor Bertolet, then struggled, leading the team to bring in Vedvik earlier this month. 

“My thing is I’m confident in myself always,” Vedvik said, via the New York Post. “When I go out there and I see I miss, it’s a very simple small things that I can identify right away, and I think that’s very important to be able to see that. I know what happened for me and what to correct, and it’s just about going back and keep practicing those things.”

The Jets are set to host the Browns in Week 2.
