Attaochu going onto injured reserve is no surprise. If he's still not practicing with a concussion from a couple of weeks ago, then it seems pointless to rush him through the protocol for a couple of meaningless games.
It seemed like Attaochu had fallen out of favor anyway. He had been inactive and then immediately jumped offside when he got back in the line-up a few weeks ago and only ended up playing three snaps. He had shown some flashes but the Jets obviously felt the likes of Frankie Luvu had more upside.
Wint's activation could be a sign that another team has tried to poach him or just a reward for good work with the scout team. In preseason, the undrafted rookie had 12 tackles and a couple of pressures in four games.
