Deonte Thompson
Player News
Thompson was released by the Jets on Saturday, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
Thompson, who was set to begin his ninth NFL season, will now try to find work with another team. The veteran hauled in 17 passes for 161 yards playing for the Bills and Cowboys last season.
Thompson signed a contract with the Jets on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Thompson played in 13 games in 2018 while with the Cowboys and the Bills, totaling 17 receptions for 161 yards on the season. If he makes the Jets' final roster in 2019 it will likely be as a depth receiver and special teams player.
Thompson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.
Thompson missed each day of practice this week. The Florida product sustained the injury during last week's loss to the Patriots. In Thompson's absence, Da'Mari Scott, Victor Bolden and perhaps even rookie Ray-Ray McCloud could see increased workloads.
Thompson (toe) missed practice for the second straight day Thursday.
It's looking pretty slim the veteran will play in the Bills' season finale, which would perhaps give rookie Ray-Ray McCloud a few looks as a depth option in the team's offense after being a healthy scratch for several weeks this season.
