The team also elevated DL Jalyn Holmes and LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball for Week 15.

Newman, 24, went undrafted out of Baylor in the 2022 NFL Draft before catching on with the Titans.

After making the team’s final roster along with his NFL debut, Newman was waived by the Titans and caught on with the Jets soon after.

In 2023, Newman has appeared in seven games for the Jets and made three starts.
