Wide receiver Bruce Ellington was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets on Friday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Ellington spent the first three seasons of his career with the San Francisco 49ers after being selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft. He primarily played special teams with 50 kickoff returns and 42 punt returns in 2014-15. He was waived on Thursday.
A hamstring injury suffered during the preseason last year caused Ellington to miss the entire 2016 campaign. The 49ers waived him on Aug.
