Roster News: Jets re-sign three, place three on injured reserve, release Zuniga

The Jets have announced the following moves, including a few expected but not yet confirmed transactions.

We’ve made the following roster moves:

Placed on IR:
OL Conor McDermott
LB Jarrad Davis
S Ashtyn Davis

TE Ryan Griffin

Released:
CB Bless Austin
DE Jabari Zuniga

Claimed:
DE Timmy Ward
LB Quincy Williams

Zuniga's release is disappointing but the team obviously prefers Ward to him in the short-term. He and Austin could in theory be re-signed to the practice squad tomorrow.

Davis, Davis and McDermott will be eligible to return after week four.

The Chris Herndon trade is apparently not officially processed yet, so they'll free up another roster spot once that goes through, in addition to the three open spots on the practice squad.
