Jets Sign WR Deontay Burnett To Practice Squad

Jordan Jenkins Jersey , Place WR ArDarius Stewart On IR The New York Jets have re-signed wide receiver Deontay Burnett to the practice squad and placed wide receiver ArDarius Stewart on the injured reserve list. Stewart lands on the injured reserve list with an ankle injury just days after being signed to the practice squad. Deontay Burnett is a 20 year old 6’ 0”, 186 pound wide receiver out of USC, where he was one of Sam Darnold’s favorite targets. Burnett emerged as a major weapon at USC in 2017, catching 86 passes for 1114 yards and nine touchdowns.Burnett lacks the physical traits NFL teams look for in wide receivers. He is slight of build, with short(31.5”) arms and small (8 5/8”) hands. He does not have prototypical size or strength or top end speed. What he does have is good lateral quickness, good hands Authentic James Carpenter Jersey , and the willingness and ability to work the middle of the field.Burnett had an impressive training camp with the Tennessee Titans before being cut. He projects as an NFL slot receiver. This is an important week for the Jets. A win would allow them to reach the halfway point of the season at .500 with 5 divisional matchups on the back 8. That is actually putting the team in position to succeed, regardless of whether or not they cash in. Losing this week would put the team at 3-5, however, which would probably require the Jets to win a bare minimum of 6 of their remaining 8 games to reach the playoffs. Now is as good a time as ever to get bold.Disclaimer: A Bold Prediction is not something that is likely or probable to happen. Bold Predictions are blind guesses that are laughably optimistic beyond what anyone can reasonably expect to happen, but not so far as to be virtually impossible. Saying that Leonard Williams will get a sack is not a Bold Prediction, nor is saying that Bilal Powell will run for 650 yards. By definition Youth Morris Claiborne Jersey , Bold Predictions are unlikely, but not impossible, to occur. Since this is a Jets site, they are also pro-Jets predictions. As always, the Final Score prediction is meant to be realistic, not a Bold Prediction.Here are my five bold predictions for tomorrow’s game:Isaiah Crowell leads the team in scrimmage yards with over 200.Sam Darnold does not turn the ball over and scores 3 times.Two Jets corners record sacks.The Jets win the turnover battle by at least 4.Four different Jets score a touchdown.And a bonus prediction: Announcers learn nothing from the Jets-Cousins broadcast and mention the Jets’ prior interest in Khalil Mack at least 80 http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kelvin-beachum-jersey ,000 times.Final Score: I wasn’t high on the Bears coming into the season, but they do appear to be the more talented team right now. Bears win 28-17.
