The New York Jets announced Saturday that they’ve officially reduced their active roster down to the 53-man limit.

Here’s the list of roster cuts for the Jets:

1. QB David Fales
2. QB Mike White
3. RB Josh Adams
4. WR Lawrence Cager
5. WR George Campbell
6. WR Jehu Chesson

22. CB Lamar Jackson
23. CB Zane Lewis
24. DB Shyheim Carter

26. S Bennett Jackson

The Jets also placed CB Bryce Hall on the NFI list. 

Burgess, 26, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville back in 2016. He was, unfortunately, among Miami’s final roster cuts but was later signed to the team’s practice squad.

After brief stints with the Chargers, Ravens, Jaguars and Browns, Burgess signed a futures contract with the Dolphins, but was cut loose after the draft. From there, he signed on with the Jets. 

New York brought Burgess back on a one-year contract this past March. 

In 2019, Burgess appeared in 10 games for the Jets and recorded 80 tackles, a half sack, an interception, a forced fumble, a recovery and five passes defended.
