Jets waive Kalif Raymond two days after he muffed punt vs. Raiders

Two days after muffing a punt, Kalif Raymond was booted by the New York Jets, who waived the return specialist on Tuesday.

Raymond, acquired on waivers at the end of the preseason, made the single-biggest mistake in the Jets' 45-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

With the Jets trailing by only four points with 1:50 left in the first half, Raymond muffed a punt at his own 14-yard line. The Raiders recovered at the 4, and scored three plays later on a momentum-changing touchdown.

Raymond also had two muffs in Week 1, both recovered by the Jets.
