Jets add Briusing Back to Active Roster With Powell, Forte Dinged up

By Glenn Naughton Posted On December 13, 2017

Last week, running back Elijah McGuire was taken out of the Jets 23-0 loss against the Broncos when he injured his ankle on the first play of the game. It appears McGuire is fine as he doesn’t appear on the team’s injury report, but Matt Forte and Bilal Powell do with knee and hamstring issues respectively.

With that being the case, the Jets have added rookie running back Akeem Judd to their active roster.

We have activated RB Akeem Judd from the practice squad, placed QB Josh McCown on IR and signed 2 others to the practice squad.
