The New Orleans Saints officially claimed OT Derrick Kelly off of waivers from the Jets and placed DT Jaleel Johnson on injured reserve in a corresponding move.
Kelly, 26, originally signed on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State in 2019. He was among their final roster cuts as a rookie and signed to the practice squad, but was cut loose in October of last year.
The Giants signed him to their taxi squad after a week and bounced on and off their practice squad until being released back in January. He signed on with the Jets as a free agent back in May.
For his career, Kelly has appeared in seven games.
