FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Jets have signed running back-kick returner Travaris Cadet and placed wide receiver Charone Peake on injured reserve.
Cadet gives the Jets some depth at running back with Matt Forte’s status uncertain because of a toe injury suffered Sunday against Miami. New York also has Bilal Powell and rookie Elijah McGuire at the position.
Cadet has familiarity with Jets offensive coordinator John Morton from their time together in New Orleans the past two seasons. Cadet has spent most of his career with the Saints, but had stints with New England and San Francisco in 2015.
