The New York Jets have signed running back Charcandrick West, who was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday.

The Jets are still looking for a No. 3 back. This could be an indication that Eli McGuire, who suffered a broken foot on the first day of training camp and was expected to miss six weeks, is headed to IR and won't be carried on the 53-man roster.

West missed most of training camp with a concussion and became expendable with the arrival of free-agent addition Damien Williams and the emergence of undrafted rookie Darrel Williams as backup options to starter Kareem Hunt.
