Jets Activate Tim Patrick From IR, Waive Jamaal Pritchett

The veteran wide receiver is back to shore up a depleted pass-catching group.

Overview

  • The Jets added Tim Patrick to the active roster and cleared a spot by waiving wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett, while promoting linebacker Jaden Keller from the practice squad.
  • Patrick had been on injured reserve with a groin injury and practiced during his 21-day window before the team moved to activate him.
  • Keller’s promotion is his second elevation this season and he can be elevated one more time under NFL rules before the Jets must sign him to the 53-man roster.
  • Pritchett is a second-year undrafted player who spent most of the season on the practice squad and could be a candidate to return to that unit.
  • The transactions were reported to media by a person familiar with the moves rather than announced by the team; Patrick signed a one-year deal in May and brings veteran experience and 191 career catches that could aid the offense.
