Jets DT Brandin Bryant & TE Brian Parker Revert To I.R. After Clearing Waivers

The New York Jets officially placed DT Brandin Bryant and TE Brian Parker on injured reserve Saturday after they passed through waivers unclaimed.

Parker, 25, originally signed on with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Albany back in 2015. He was unable to make the 53-man roster last year but was later claimed off of waivers by the Chiefs.

Parker was waived with a failed physical designation at the start of last season. The Jets signed Parker to a contract this past April before waiving him with an injury designation on Friday.

In 2015, Parker appeared in nine games for the Chiefs and recorded one reception for six yards receiving.

Bryant, 23, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic back in May of last year. However, he was unfortunately among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.

The Jets signed him to their practice squad during the season

During his college career at FAU, Bryant recorded 121 tackles, 25 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks, two pass defenses and a forced fumble over the course of four seasons.
