The New York Jets confirmed the additions of running back Josh Adams and safety Sheldrick Redwine to their active 53-man roster on Monday. They likewise added safeties Adrian Colbert and Jarrod Wilson to their practice squad, Adams’ former dwelling before his promotion.
Adams rejoins the Jets, having served as one of the more effective rushers on the team last season. The Notre Dame alum and former Philadelphia Eagle (working with current Jets general manager Joe Douglas in the latter locale) picked up 157 yards on 29 carries, two of which went for scores. Adams would later end the preseason with a team-best 62 yards on 12 attempts in the Jets’ 31-31 tie against Philadelphia in each team’s respective summer finale.
