The Jets have released offensive lineman Spencer Long.

After signing with the Green & White last March, Long appeared in and started 13 games while playing both center and left guard.

The 28-year-old Long, who spent his first four pro seasons with the Washington Redskins, opened the season at center before battling finger and leg injuries. After James Carpenter went to injured reserve, Long shifted to left guard and veteran Jonotthan Harrison moved to center.

A third-round pick of Washington in the 2014 draft, the 6'5", 318-pound Long has appeared in 53 NFL contests and started 44.
