Brian Poole’s stint on the NFI list lasted all of one practice.
The team announced Thursday that it has moved cornerback Brian Poole off of the Active/NFI list and onto the active roster. He can practice on Friday. Adam Gase said on Thursday that Poole was dealing with a conditioning issue.
In a corresponding move, the Jets waived defensive lineman Fred Jones, the nephew of former Jets star Marvin Jones.
The Jets are already thin at the cornerback position, so the fact that Poole’s absence wasn’t serious is a sigh of relief. In practice on Thursday, the Jets had Arthur Maulet in Poole’s slot position. The Jets are counting on Poole to improve a secondary that isn’t very deep or talented.
Poole spent the first three years of his career with the Falcons. He had a breakout season last year with 74 tackles, three sacks and three interceptions.
With Poole off the NFI list, Marcus Maye is the only starting player who isn’t healthy yet as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery.
