Jets quickly give up on former third-round WR, set Aaron Glenn's first 53-man roster

The New York Jets waived Malachi Corley after one season. Beyond that move, here is how Aaron Glenn‘s first roster moved to 53:

Waived:

• DB Jarrick Bernard-Converse
• DB Dean Clark
• DB Jordan Clark
• QB Brady Cook
• RB Donovan Edwards
• DE Kingsley Jonathan
• G Kohl Levao
• K Harrison Mevis
• DT Payton Page
• WR Jamaal Pritchett
• LB Jackson Sirmon
• WR Quentin Skinner
• LB Aaron Smith
• WR Brandon Smith
• T Carter Warren
• DE Eric Watts
• G Leander Wiegand

Waived/injury settlement:

• DB Jarius Monroe
• DB Ryan Cooper

Placed on IR:

• DT Byron Cowart

Placed on IR (return designation):

• LB Ja’Markis Weston

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

• WR Irvin Charles

The Jets will use one of their IR-return slots on a rookie UDFA. This expresses confidence Weston, who played at Florida for six seasons, will be a contributor. While Weston will drop the Jets’ injury activations number to seven, Cowart heads to season-ending IR. Gang Green has changed up significantly at defensive tackle over the past week, acquiring Jowon Briggs and Harrison Phillips before trading Derrick Nnadi back to the Chiefs and now placing Cowart on IR.

Cook’s release leaves only two quarterbacks on New York’s active roster. While the Missouri product could be kept on a practice squad deal, Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor are the active-roster passers. The Jets do intend to circle back to Jordan Clark — son of ex-Steelers safety-turned-ESPNer Ryan Clark — on a P-squad deal, ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes. Ditto Skinner, per veteran reporter Jordan Schultz.
