A day after appearing unhappy about the status of the running game, Rex Ryan and the Jets have added former Texans running back Jonathan Grimes, the team announced.

The Jets signed Grimes off the team's practice squad, which means he must remain on their active roster for at least three weeks.

Grimes had 130 yards on 28 preseason carries along with 58 receiving yards and will join a platoon which includes Bilal Powell, Shonn Greene and Joe McKnight, who all received carries last Sunday.
