The New York Jets announced they’ve designated DL Paschal Ekeji as an international roster exemption, and waived OL Gus Hartwig and S Chris Smith II on Thursday. 

Ekeji, 24, is a former rugby player in South Africa and was born in Lesotho. He originally caught on with the Jets’ practice squad in November of last year. 

New York re-signed him to a futures deal in January.

He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
