Jets elevating Sterling Shepard from practice squad, signing Jamaal Pritchett to roster

Facing significant depth issues within their receiving corps heading into their upcoming Sunday matchup against Detroit, New York has promoted Sterling Shepard from the practice squad and added Jamaal Pritchett to the active roster. Shepard, who joined the organization following his release from Houston and previously played for Tampa Bay, is in line for his debut appearance with the club.

Meanwhile, Pritchett earns his promotion after spending the previous year on the practice squad, offering additional depth alongside Shepard while Adonai Mitchell deals with a hand injury. The team is already managing further absences due to injuries sidelining Arian Smith and Omar Cooper Jr.
