NEW YORK — The New York Jets are down to two healthy quarterbacks.
Matt Flynn and Josh Johnson were among the Jets' cuts Saturday as they pared their roster to the mandatory 53-player limit.
Flynn and Johnson were signed this summer to compete for a backup role behind Ryan Fitzpatrick, who became the starter after Geno Smith had his jaw broken on Aug. 11 by a punch from then-teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali. Smith was expected to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.
The Jets' only other healthy quarterback is rookie Bryce Petty, a fourth-round pick out of Baylor.
