FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets signed tight end Brandon Barnes and running back Jahad Thomas, and released wide receiver Marquess Wilson and running back Jordan Todman on Wednesday.
Barnes was waived by Detroit on Aug. 9 after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama State in April. He had 29 catches for 436 yards and six touchdowns in his college career.
Jets coach Todd Bowles said that Barnes was added after a pectoral or shoulder injury to tight end Jason Vander Laan during practice on Tuesday.
Thomas was signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Temple.
