Roster News: Jets sign Nwangwu to active roster, release Abanikanda

This was inevitable after Sunday's debut performance:

We have signed RB Kene Nwangwu to the active roster from the practice squad.



Additionally, we have released Israel Abanikanda.

In addition to his touchdown return, Abanikanda had two other kick returns, a nice block and a forced fumble.

Abanikanda has been a disappointment since being a mid-round pick last year. He made the roster after a decent preseason but has been a healthy scratch all year. In theory, he could be back on the practice squad, but with Bam Knight returning last week, that may be unlikely.
