The Jets got their quarterback room back together again.

One day after waiving David Fales and Mike White, the Jets signed the two backup quarterbacks to the practice squad. One of them will be active and the No. 2 quarterback behind Sam Darnold when the Jets open the season Sunday in Buffalo.

This was the expected move after the Jets cut Fales and White Saturday when they finalized their initial 53-man roster.
