Roster News: Jets claim Ellington, waive Parker

With practice barely over, news breaks that the Jets made yet another roster move today:

Ellington, who missed all of last season with a torn hamstring, has 19 receptions in his NFL career and has averaged 7.7 yards per punt return and 25.6 yards per kickoff return.

The 25-year old is 5'9" and 197 pounds. He was a fourth round pick back in 2014 and spent his first three seasons in San Francisco.

He has some nice athletic numbers, as you can see:

UPDATE: The Jets confirmed that they have released tight end Brian Parker who is injured again. He was also released with an injury last September shortly after having been claimed on waivers and had re-signed earlier this offseason.

Once again, we'll provide a full scouting report for Ellington over the next few days.
