Josh Cribbs Placed on Injured Reserve

Earlier today we talked about the report the Jets were going to sign return man Darius Reynaud. The team made it official. The Jets cleared a roster spot by putting Josh Cribbs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

We have signed veteran FA KR Darius Reynaud to our active roster. We have also placed WR-KR Josh Cribbs (shoulder) on Injured Reserve.

The loss of Cribbs is a tough one for the Jets. He brought credibility to the return game, particularly as a punt returner. He was also a good trigger man for the Wildcat as a runner and a passer. The Wildcat is one of the few things the Jets have been doing on offense lately to generate even modest success.

Cribbs was not a game-changer, but anybody moderately productive at producing yardage is worth something to this team at this point in time.
