The Jets have signed wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins and have waived/injured safety Doug Middleton.
Thompkins (6'0", 195) returns to the Green & White after playing the second half of the 2015 season with them. In seven games (two starts) that year, he had 17 receptions for 165 yards (9.7 yards/catch) and no touchdowns.
But he had a memorable Week 15 catch for 43 yards on a long throw from Ryan Fitzpatrick that flipped the field from the Jets' 31-yard line to the Dallas 26. That set the stage for Ryan Bullock's go-ahead 40-yard field goal with 36 seconds to play that lifted the Jets over the Cowboys, 19-16.
