Per Aaron Wilson, the Jets activated TE C.J. Uzomah from the physically unable to perform list after he passed his physical.
Uzomah, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bengals back in the 2015 draft out of Auburn. He played out the final year of his four-year rookie contract before agreeing to a three-year, $18 million deal with the Bengals in 2019.
Uzomah made base salaries of $3,050,000 and $4,750,000 over the next two years of this deal and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Jets.
The Jets restructured Uzomah’s deal back in March to clear $3.6 million in cap space.
In 2022, Uzomah appeared in 15 games for the Jets and caught 21 passes for 232 yards receiving (11 YPC) and two touchdowns.
