With second-year tight end Jeremy Ruckert currently in concussion protocol, the Jets have added rookie tight end Zack Kuntz to their roster ahead of Thursday night’s meeting against the Cleveland Browns.
Kuntz may see some action in an essentially meaningless game but don’t expect too much as Trevor Siemien should expect to be under heavy duress from the outset.
The Jets also place veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown on injured reserve which will end his season and two-year stint in Green and White.
Kicker Austin Seibert was also added to the roster with Greg Zuerlein listed as questionable on the injury report.
