Martin Tevaseu Back on Active Roster; Logan Payne on Injured Reserve

by John B on Oct 22, 2011 4:16 PM EDT

A few days after cutting him to the practice squad, the Jets have signed Martin Tevaseu back to the active roster.

DL Martin Tevaseu has been promoted to the active roster for Sunday's game vs. Chargers. Teams also announces Logan Payne on IR.

This is a clear sign that Mike Devito's status tomorrow is quite iffy. This was a move for depth.

It also raises a real question about why the Jets saved a roster spot for Payne so long. I liked what he did in the preseason, but why save a guy a spot for six weeks and only then IR him? Why did the Jets put Robert Turner on IR first? Turner was a much more important player. We will probably never know, and it really is not a terribly big deal. It is just kind of odd.

I am happy to see MTV back. I really like his potential, and there is no such thing as too much defensive line depth.

The handling of Turner and Payne was very odd

And you are correct, we will probably never get an answer on that. At least Turner was with the team. The Payne part is just odd especially considering all of the various WRs the Jets had in camp this year.

I think it goes to the degrees of their injures

Payne was expected to be healthy enough by Week 6 roughly, and Turner would be able to go if possible by the end of the season. The Jets looked at their situations and their people feeling that that based on their recovery timetables that it may or may not have been worth trying to keep them around for as long as they did.

And the home of the .... JETS!!!

Glad to see MTV active.

Don’t get the Payne thing at all. Why carry a nobody for so long? Was he saving a spot for TO? Makes no sense.

perhaps the jets were just high on payne

and kerley’s emergence as a reciever rendered him useless?

IMO Turner would have been worth waiting for

I thought it was a bad idea when they put him on IR

I agree but I think that at times it was worth it.

He’d be out til November just on the 8-10 weeks, then its getting back into the fold, and remember Pace was barely playing any meaningful football last year, so even though he’d be a back up he’d still be a liability if Mangold went down for any extended time.
