The New York Jets waived/injured receiver and kick returner Lucky Whitehead on Sunday while bringing in an extra quarterback arm in the form of John Wolford for their preseason finale.
While the injury for the veteran Whitehead, 26, has not been disclosed, he did not play in the Jets’ most recent exhibition tilt on Friday night against the New York Giants. He also did not practice in the week leading up to the 22-16 loss at MetLife Stadium after playing the first two preseason games.
He had three punt returns for 19 yards and a 20-yard kick return this preseason, all obtained in the Week 2 visit to Washington.
