Hayworth

Hicks

Hicks went undrafted as a 6'3", 336-pound guard with 24 starts at Iowa State. He’ll add depth on the interior for the Jets.

Tampa Bay also put in a claim on Hicks. He spent three weeks on the Jets’ active roster after being signed off Indianapolis’ practice squad. It’s purely a depth move.

Williams suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 versus the Chargers. A sixth-round pick out of UConn last year, Williams also missed his rookie season with a torn ACL. It’s not clear yet if the injury is to the same knee. Hayworth Hicks was signed off the Bucs’ practice squad to take Williams’ roster spot.

WR David Gilreath was waived in a corresponding move. Tampa will be Hicks’ third team in two weeks. The rookie UDFA has spent time on both the Chiefs and Jets’ active rosters this season, but has yet to appear in a game.
