The Jets came into Saturday with four quarterbacks on their 75-man roster and they’ll end the day with four on their 53-man roster.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg all made it through the cut as the team announced that right tackle Breno Giacomini will start the season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Giacomini has a back injury and won’t be eligible to return to practice or games for the first six weeks of the regular season.
All four quarterbacks may not remain on the roster into Week One. Petty has a shoulder injury which doesn’t sound overly serious, but he could go on injured reserve with the possibility of bringing him back later in the year. Players can be designated to return after six weeks on IR as long as they go on the list after the cut to 53 players.
They could also still make a trade or make a cut after acquiring another player on waivers, but, for now, all four remain in place.
The Jets previously announced other cuts, which were highlighted by tight end Jace Amaro and cornerback Dee Milliner.
