FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Under intense pressure to address their quarterback situation, the New York Jets will sign veteran free agent Trevor Siemian to their practice squad, pending a physical, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Siemian, 31, released by the Cincinnati Bengals in the preseason, joins Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle in the Jets' quarterback room. The move comes two days after another poor performance by Wilson, who nevertheless received a vote of confidence from coach Robert Saleh.
Wilson will start Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, Saleh said, but Siemian gives them a quarterback with starting experience - a potential option if Wilson continues to struggle.
