Now with Jets, Lucky Whitehead still stunned by release from Cowboys

FLORHAM PARK -- Lucky Whitehead practiced as a member of the Jets for the first time Saturday. He caught punts from Lachlan Edwards, and passes from Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty.

It was a new situation for the 25-year-old return specialist. For the first summer in three years, Whitehead isn't in Oxnard with the Cowboys.

And he's still not terribly sure why.

"Explanation?" Whitehead said. "I don't think I ever got an explanation."

It's hard to put into words exactly what the last seven days have been like for Whitehead, but we'll try.
