Earlier this week, Tim Patrick returned to practice. That was a sign the veteran wideout could be back in the fold shortly, and he has indeed returned to the Jets’ active roster.
The New York Jets announced on Saturday that veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick has been activated from injured reserve. The 32-year-old had missed at least four games due to a groin injury before returning to practice earlier in the week. Patrick, who joined the Jets on a one-year, $2 million contract, returns to the active roster ahead of Week 5 as the 1-3 team looks to bolster its passing offense.
Patrick's return comes as New York remains shorthanded at receiver, with Adonai Mitchell ruled out for Week 5 and Omar Cooper Jr. still on injured reserve. In corresponding roster moves, the Jets waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett and elevated linebacker Jaden Keller from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
