Nugent returned for the extra point and the ensuing kickoff after a Jets touchdown in the third quarter to put New York ahead 20-7. It was unclear if he would be available for kickoffs.
The Jets, without another kicker on the roster, were forced to attempt a fourth-and-13 from the Dolphins 22-yard line in the second quarter. Trying to avoid a sack on the play, Brett Favre heaved a lob near the goal line, which was caught by Chansi Stuckey, who fell into the end zone for a touchdown to put New York ahead 13-7.
The Jets missed the 2-point conversion. Punter Ben Graham handled one kickoff for the Jets.
