Jets are adding receiver Jeff Smith to their 53-man roster.

Normally this might not be a newsworthy add, but given the Jets struggles at WR now as far as keeping them healthy, it's possible Smith carves out a role so it's worth keeping an eye on.

On most practice days, the Jets are lining up with Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Jeff Smith, a former undrafted free agent with one career catch. When Perriman missed a day with knee swelling, it served as a sobering reminder: The Jets are one injury away from a full-blown crisis.

The Jets like to run a lot of three-WR sets and the injury to Mims is a big deal as he was supposed to be the WR3. Even if he's back soon, he'll be behind as far as learning the offense and being on the same page as QB Sam Darnold. Because of the low numbers, the Jets recently signed veteran Chris Hogan, who Gase called a "down and dirty" competitor. Hogan has looked good but he hasn't been an every-down player since 2018.
