Free agent safety Reggie Nelson will visit the Jets on Friday, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Jets appear to be hunting for an upgrade on Jim Leonhard, who is also unsigned and tore his right patella tendon last December. It’s a significant injury.

Nelson is entering his age-29 season. He is the No. 49 overall player on the PFT Hot 100.
