The Jets are adding suspended cornerback Rashard Robinson to their 53-man roster now that he is eligible to return from suspension. Robinson had been serving a four game suspension as a result of a marijuana possession last year. The team will be releasing safety JJ Wilcox to make room for Robinson.

We've activated CB Rashard Robinson and released S J.J. Wilcox.

After adding Robinson via trade last season, the Jets kept him on the bench until they faced the Kansas City Chiefs when he was torched for a pair of scores by the NFL’s fastest receiver in Tyreek Hill.
