SOURCE: Jets sign preseason star to 53-man roster after WR injuries

The New York Jets have signed wide receiver Brandon Smith to the 53-man roster ahead of their Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, a source confirmed to The Jet Press.

The Jets were already set to be without Garrett Wilson for another week as he nurses a knee injury, and the team downgraded veteran wideout Josh Reynolds to OUT on Saturday after he missed Friday's practice with a quad injury.

Smith joins a thin Jets wide receiver room that currently includes Tyler Johnson, rookie Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and return specialist Isaiah Williams.
