Jets Trim Roster, Cutting Kicker and Veteran Tackle The Jets have until Saturday at 6 p.m. to trim their roster to 53 players, but they made their first cuts on Friday. They shed kicker Dan Carpenter and the veteran tackle Antonio Garay, who confirmed his release in an e-mail. Carpenter could not supplant the incumbent Nick Folk, while the strong preseasons of Damon Harrison and Leger Douzable made Garay expendable.
