In a surprising move, Joe Douglas and the Jets did not claim any players on waivers.
The Jets didn’t put in a claim for any player on waivers, but none of their cuts were claimed by other teams. In total, only 17 players were claimed by NFL teams on waivers Sunday. With COVID-19 protocols in place, it does take longer than usual to get a player on the practice field, which could ave contributed to the low number of claims.
The Jets were No. 11 in the waiver order.
The Jets have to put players on their respective injured lists as well. They have a few eligible players, which will open up a few roster spots. So the Jets still have to time to add some players.
For now, it seems like the Jets are making sure they keep their own guys by placing them on the practice squad. At the moment, the Jets have filled six of 16 spots on their practice squad.
