The Jets on Monday claimed former Patriots offensive tackle Antonio Garcia off waivers, according to NFL Network.
The Patriots had waived Garcia with a non-football injury, but he has been cleared to play. He had been participating in the Patriots' offseason workout program.
New England drafted Garcia in Round 3 last year, out of Troy. His arrival with the Jets gives them some depth for their offensive line, which they need.
The Jets' starting tackles likely will continue to be Kelvin Beachum on the left side and Brandon Shell on the right side.
