Jets claim TE Will Tye off waivers from Giants
Hurt by injuries and a suspension at tight end, the New York Jets have claimed Will Tye on waivers, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.
Tye, 25, was released Saturday after two seasons with the New York Giants. He started 10 games and caught 48 passes for 395 yards and a touchdown last season, but fell on the Giants' depth chart after the team added free agent Rhett Ellison and No. 1 pick Evan Engram.
The Jets are thin at tight end because presumptive starter Austin Seferian-Jenkins is serving a two-game suspension stemming from a DUI arrest last September.
