FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets added some depth at running back and brought in someone Adam Gase knows well.

The Jets acquired Kalen Ballage from the Dolphins for a 2021 conditional seventh-round draft pick. The Dolphins reportedly were set to release Ballage, but the Jets made a deal for him before he could hit the waiver wire.

Ballage will reunite with Gase, his coach during his rookie season with the Dolphins.
