The Jets were short a running back, due to the neck injury suffered by Bilal Powell. And so they added a running back from the practice squad.
The team promoted running back De’Angelo Henderson on Saturday.
A seventh-round pick of the Broncos in 2017, Henderson appeared in five games last season with Denver, including one start. He rushed for 103 yards on 25 carries.
To create a roster spot for Henderson, the Jets waived cornerback Juston Burris.
The Jets face the Bears in Chicago on Sunday.
