Jets name initial 53-man roster

The Jets added 37 players to their roster on Tuesday, bringing them down to their original roster of 53 players.

Rookie quarterback Jordan Travis remained on the non-football injury list due to the knee injury he suffered while playing for Florida State last season. The fifth-round pick will be eligible to play after four games, but he will likely redshirt this year.

The Jets also released Adrian Martinez and Andrew Peasley, leaving Tyrod Taylor as the only quarterback left after Aaron Rodgers.

Defensive lineman Leki Foto and tight end Kenny Yeboah were placed on the injured list. Both players were designated to return, so they are eligible to rejoin the team during the regular season.

In addition to the two quarterbacks mentioned above, the Jets also released defensive backs Shemar Barthomew, Al Blades Jr., Jaylen Key, Darius Monroe, Kendall Sheffield, Nehemiah Shelton and Tre Swilling; offensive linemen Austin Deculus, Obinna Eze, Chris Glaser, Jake Hanson, Brady Latham, Kohl Levao and Willie Tyler III; linebackers Sam Eguavoen, Anthony Hines, Marcelino McCrary-Ball and Jackson Sirmon; tight ends Anthony Firkser, Zack Kuntz and Lincoln Sefcik; wide receivers Tyler Harrell, Lance McCutcheon, Brandon Smith and Isaiah Winstead; defensive linemen Bruce Hector, Jalyn Holmes, Tanzel Smart and Jalen Twyman; running backs Deon Jackson and Xazavian Valladay; and kicker Austin Seibert.
