Six days after Tarik Cohen’s retirement, the New York Jets have added another running back to their 90-man roster.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the Jets have reportedly signed 25-year-old running back Deon Jackson after working out five backs. Jackson worked out with both the Jets and the Texans.
