FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Battling injuries at wide receiver, the New York Jets signed veteran free agent Rishard Matthews on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Matthews, 28, was out of work for four games after being released by the Tennessee Titans -- a move he requested. He was unhappy with his role in the offense and complained to management after catching only three passes for 11 yards in the first three games.
The Jets (3-4) needed a body because leading receiver Quincy Enunwa (high-ankle sprain), who didn't play last week, is expected to miss a few more games.
