The New York Jets have added a linebacker to their active roster ahead of Week 8’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team announced that they have claimed Kobe King off waivers.
King was recently released by the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday when they activated running back Aaron Jones off injured reserve. Originally a sixth-round pick earlier this year, King appeared in five games, recording four tackles. Most of his playing time came on special teams.
In other roster updates, the Jets could see the return of linebacker Quincy Williams this weekend. Williams has missed the last four games due to a shoulder injury but was designated to return from injured reserve this week. He was listed as questionable to play on Friday.
However, the Jets will be without Cam Jones, who has been ruled out with a hip injury ahead of the game.
