The Jets announced that they have waived TE Braedon Bowman.
The 6'4", 240-pound Bowman, who was acquired off waivers from Jacksonville on Sep. 4, originally signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in May. He turned in a 66-catch, 1,030-yard, 13-TD season in his last year at Scottsdale CC before moving to South Alabama, where he had 29 catches for 381 yards in 2014 and '15 combined. Bowman was inactive for the Jets in Week 1.
On Monday, DL Sheldon Richardson returned to the roster after serving a one-game suspension. The Jets had a one day roster exemption and now the roster stands at 53 after the waiving of Bowman.
