The Jets made an early move to kick off Bucs week.
We’ve signed DB Nik Needham to the practice squad and released K Harrison Mevis from the practice squad.

The 28-year old Needham had been with Miami for six seasons, starting 27 games and intercepting six passes, including one against the Jets in 2020. However, he hasn’t started a game since 2022 and hasn’t intercepted a pass since 2021.
His athletic numbers are not great and he isn’t much of an asset on special teams but Needham brings some experience to a banged up secondary.
