Just a couple of days after waiving reserve linebacker Julian Stanford in order to make room for newly acquired tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, the Jets have added the pre-season standout to their practice squad.

We have signed LB Julian Stanford to the practice squad and released WR Wendall Williams from the practice squad.

In order to make room for Stanford on the ten-man unit, the team released speedy wide receiver Wendall Williams.

A 3-year pro out of Wagner, Stanford flew under the radar before standing out in multiple pre-season contests on both defense and special teams, earning himself a spot on the 53-man roster before being demoted.
