Looks like a resistor, but isn't?

So I am having an electrical problem with a PTAC unit. I have noticed that a particular component has been cut off the circuit board. I know what the missing component looks like, but I don't know what it is.

The same component is used multiple times on the board, and I have circled it in the photograph below.
Can anyone identify what it might be?

Zero Ohm Resistor: Jumper. I agree with Joed. It's used instead of a wire to suit the automated board stuffing equipment.

If it weren't labeled "JU", I might have thought it could be an inductor, but it would be labeled L if it were an inductor.

If it is cut, I would leave it alone. It's probably used during test of the board only.
