The New York Jets have signed TE Kenny Yeboah to the active roster. Yeboah had already been elevated the maximum three times this season, so with the Jets wanting to bring him up from the practice squad, they had to sign him to the 53-man roster.
The Jets had an open spot on the 53-man roster so they did not have to cut anyone as a corresponding move. This now gives the Jets four tight ends on the 53, along with Tyler Conklin, C.J, Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert.
The Jets also elevated Conor McDermott from the practice squad for the second time this season after appearing in four games as part of the 53-man roster.
They also signed safety Jared Mayden to the practice squad. Mayden comes to the Jets after spending almost a month on the Bills practice squad and has also spent time with the 49ers and Eagles. Mayden is in his third season in the NFL after coming to the league as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama in 2020.
