Well ahead of Saturday's deadline, the Jets began the business of whittling their roster down to 53 players by making three cuts.
The team parted ways with a pair of tight ends, Kevin Brock and Jack Simmons, and wide receiver Marcus Henry, according to Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger.
Brock and Simmons were both made expendable when the team signed Ben Hartsock on Wednesday, and Simmons didn't help his cause by dropping a goodly number of the passes sent his way during preseason.
Henry, a sixth-round pick in 2008, made the team out of training camp last year before getting cut in September and spending the rest of the year on the practice squad. His departure could be a good sign for Aundrae Allison, the former Vikings receiver the Jets claimed off waivers in early August.
