Updated: Jets sign Beltre, Gray and Natson to practice squad; Collins turns down offer

The Jets had reportedly made a couple of additions to the practice squad:

Former #Seahawks RB Alex Collins, who cleared waivers today, will sign with the #Jets practice squad, source said.

#Packers OL Geoff Gray cleared waivers and will sign with the #Jets practice squad.

However, it seems the Collins deal has fallen through:

Change of plans: Alex Collins will sign to the #Ravens practice squad instead, source said. Better fit and opportunity. https://t.co/XLM6cqRtBM

The Jets have since been reported to have made another addition:

JoJo Natson is headed to the Jets practice squad per his agent, Jimmy Gould.

Collins was a sought-after back heading into last year's draft, but dropped into the fifth round after a poor combine. He rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown as a rookie. In preseason, he averaged four yards per carry with one touchdown, despite a slow start. He also caught six passes for 52 yards.

Gray is a 6'5", 315-pound rookie who went to college in Canada. He saw reserve action at guard with the Packers in preseason, but struggled a little over his last two games.

Natson is another rookie receiver out of Akron with kick and punt return abilities. He's extremely small, but caught 13 passes and racked up 399 all-purpose yards in preseason with the Colts.

You can probably expect most of the rest of the spots to be taken from the guys the Jets cut over the weekend, all of whom cleared waivers. In fact, it's been reported that Frank Beltre has already been given a spot. However, they'll probably leave a couple of spots free for whoever they cut today to make room for the new additions.
