Cade Klubnik is the Jets’ backup quarterback. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the rookie fourth-round pick had won the job on August 31, after the club released Bailey Zappe and waived Brady Cook. The Jets are carrying two quarterbacks on the active roster, with Bailey Zappe re-signed to the practice squad on September 1, which…
Joseph Ossai ruptured the plantar fascia in his foot in the Jets’ preseason finale against the Giants on August 28, and head coach Aaron Glenn said on August 31 that the edge rusher is week-to-week. Ossai is not on injured reserve. No return date has been announced, and his availability for the September 13 opener…
Cam Camper is still a Jet. The receiver cleared waivers unclaimed on Monday afternoon and re-signed with New York that evening, one of 16 players the club named to its initial 2026 practice squad. It is the outcome the Monday scenarios pointed at, and the one that always made the most sense for a 24-year-old…
The Jets waived wide receiver Cam Camper on Sunday as part of the reduction to the initial roster. He was waived outright rather than waived-injured, which matters for what comes next: he was exposed to every other club, and the picture resolved by the end of Monday. Resolved. Camper cleared waivers unclaimed at 1 p.m….
Six Jets were injured in the preseason finale against the Giants, and within 48 hours five of them were off the active roster. Two went to reserve/injured, one was waived-injured, one was waived outright, and only Joseph Ossai survived the cut to 53. The injuries did not just cost bodies — they decided jobs. Who…
The Jets closed the preseason with a 23–6 loss to the Giants at MetLife Stadium, finishing exhibition play at 1–2.

Update, September 9, 2026: This is no longer the situation. On August 31 the Jets were awarded K Blake Grupe off waivers and moved Jason Sanders off the active roster; Sanders is now on the practice squad and the job is still open. See the current state of the Jets’ kicker competition. The Jets are…
The Jets host the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Friday, August 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET in the preseason finale, and it is the last live evaluation before rosters cut to 53 on Sunday. Expect Geno Smith and most starters to watch in street clothes. The roster bubble decides this night, not the…
Breece Hall strained his groin at Jets practice on Monday, August 17, and head coach Aaron Glenn said the running back would be out two to three weeks. Hall is not on injured reserve, and the Jets still expect him available for the September 13 season opener at Tennessee. He is the most significant name…
