Roster News: McDermott poached by New England

The Jets will say goodbye to a player who's actually been with the team longer than most of the current roster:

The Patriots have signed OT Conor McDermott off of the Jets' practice squad, per source.



McDermott entered the NFL as a 2017 sixth-round pick of the Patriots.



After logging one snap for the Jets this past Sunday against the Patriots, he now re-joins his original team.

McDermott was the 8th offensive lineman the past few weeks and with Max Mitchell due to return and George Fant potentially to follow, could be surplus to requirements anyway.

The Jets now have an open spot on their practice squad, but not on the active roster, so if they activate Mitchell, they'd need to make a corresponding move.
