According to Zack Rosenblatt, the Jets are releasing WR Calvin Jackson from the practice squad.
He was a fan favorite and excelled as an undrafted free agent this summer, so this move is a bit of a surprise for New York.
Jackson, 5-8 and 193 pounds, transferred to Washington State from Independence Community College in Kansas in 2018. He played four seasons, including a redshirt season plus another year of pandemic eligibility. As a senior, he was second-team All-Pac 12 in 2021.
After a tryout at rookie minicamp, Jackson signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent. He was waived by the team coming out of the preseason.
In 2021, Jackson started 13 games for the Cougars and caught 66 passes for 987 yards and seven touchdowns.
