Jets release TE Anthony Firkser, activate TE Kenny Yeboah in series of moves

The Jets have made a series of roster moves ahead of their matchup with the Texans on Thursday night.

The club has released tight end Anthony Firkser and activated tight end Kenny Yeboah to the 53-man roster from injured reserve.

Firkser appeared in four games for New York, including each of the last three, playing primarily on special teams.

The club also placed defensive tackle Leki Fotu and receiver Allen Lazard on injured reserve. Fotu is struggling with a knee injury and Lazard has a chest injury. The move with Lazard was reported earlier on Thursday.

New York signed kicker Riley Patterson and offensive lineman Alec Lindstrom to the 53-man practice squad roster. Patterson is set to kick for the Jets, while Greg Zuerlein is now on injured reserve.

Defensive back Kendall Sheffield and defensive back Jarius Monroe were elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster.

Additionally, defenseman Takk McKinley has been signed to the practice squad.
