With a couple key injuries over the weekend, the Jets were forced to make some roster moves.
The team announced on Tuesday that it has signed linebacker B.J. Bello and cornerback Kyron Brown to the active roster. In order to make room for them, the Jets placed left guard Brian Winters and tight end Chris Herndon on season-ending injured reserve.
Bello was signed by the Jets at the end of October but was released pretty quickly after that. He was originally with the Browns practice squad in 2017 after going undrafted out of Illinois State. Bello has also been on the Packers and Cardinals practice squads in addition to the Eagles’ roster. He spent training camp this season with the Texans before being cut. In 19 games, Bello has registered nine total tackles.
As for Brown, he has been on the Jets practice squad all season. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of Akron this year and had five tackles in the preseason. He has yet to appear in a regular season game and could see some playing time given the troubles the Jets are having at cornerback.
