Rookie sixth-round defensive back Jarrick Bernard-Converse was added to the active roster, the team announced Tuesday.
Bernard-Converse started the season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The team activated his 21-day practice window on October 4. He is now officially on the active roster. The team had an open roster spot following last week’s trade of wide receiver Mecole Hardman to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bernard-Converse is listed as a safety but can play both safety and cornerback. He may get some cornerback work with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed both still in the concussion protocol. The team returns to practice Wednesday following their bye week and should have more information on the status of their top two cornerbacks then.
The Jets also made moves on the practice squad. New York added wide receiver Lance McCutcheon and released safety Tyreque Jones. McCutcheon was recently on the Texans’ practice squad. He initially came into the NFL in 2022, signing with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Montana State.
