Jets Waive Wide Receiver-Kick Returner Isaiah Williams After Costly Special Teams Mistakes
The Jets cut Isaiah Williams after a costly kickoff fumble as part of coach Aaron Glenn's push for accountability following multiple special teams errors this season.
- On Saturday, October 4, the New York Jets waived wide receiver Isaiah Williams, removing him from the team's WR/KR role amid game-week roster changes.
- Williams lost a second-half kickoff fumble that led to a Dolphins touchdown and made an ill-advised fair catch at his own 3-yard line in Week 4.
- Coach Aaron Glenn warned turnovers would be addressed and said players who cause losses won't stay on the field; Williams said on Friday he was trying to learn from his mistakes and acknowledged he 'let the team down'.
- The Jets signed veteran linebacker Mykal Walker to the 53-man roster and elevated Dean Clark, defensive back, and Avery Williams, running back/return specialist.
- For the second time this season the Jets cut a kickoff returner after a costly fumble, with Kene Nwangwu sidelined and Braelon Allen out at least two months, leaving return duties unclear for Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
