The New York Jets announced Thursday that they’ve activated CB Brian Poole from the non-football injury list and placed rookie DT Fred Jones on waivers.
Poole, 26, wound up signing on with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Florida back in 2016. He has managed to make the 53-man roster in all three of his seasons.
Poole was in line to be a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Falcons declined to tender him a contract. He later signed a one-year contract worth $3.5 million with the Jets.
In 2018, Poole appeared in all 16 games for the Falcons and recorded 74 tackles, three sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 81 cornerback out of 110 qualifying players.
