The Jets waived Hammond on Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hammond was competing among a plethora of wide receivers for a role on the Jets' roster, but ultimately fell short of making it through final cuts. Although he failed to make enough of an impression to make the roster, the 27-year-old could be a practice squad candidate should he clear waivers.

Hammond has signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Hammond spent this past season on the Chiefs practice squad. Since entering the league as an undrafted rookie in 2014, Hammond has featured in 25 games, primarily making his impact felt as a punt returner. However, in order to make the Jets roster ahead of next season, he may need to show more ability as a pass-catcher. To this point, Hammond boasts just four career receptions.

Hammond was cut by the Chiefs on Saturday but was signed to the team's practice squad Sunday, the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hammond was considered a longshot to earn a roster spot, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he didn't make it. However, he could still earn a promotion to suit up on Sundays should other wide receivers suffer an injury.

Hammond reeled in five passes for 51 yards in the preseason finale against the Packers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

A longshot to make Kansas City's 53-man roster, Hammond at least showcased his ability to other potential suitors. He's also contributed on special teams, making him an potentially attractive options for other clubs, but his run with the Chiefs will likely come to an end Saturday when the roster is trimmed.

Hammond grabbed each of the three passes thrown his way in Saturday's preseason contest against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

His best effort of the preseason couldn't have come at a better time but it still may not be enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. Hammond is no longer being utilized on special teams and has been passed by multiple receivers on the depth chart. Unless something drastically changes in the near future, he's likely headed for the free agent market.

Hammond has been passed by Tyreek Hill on the depth chart and could be in danger of missing out on the 53-man roster, Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hammond has had a rather forgettable preseason, while Tyreek Hill had been opening eyes with his speed and athletic ability. While there is still a ways to go in camp, the third-year wideout has some ground to make up.

Hammond was promoted to the 53-man roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hammond has been on the Chiefs' practice squad, but with De'Anthony Thomas out Sunday against Buffalo, he'll join the active roster to serve as the fifth receiver. The Florida product saw time in all 16 games for Kansas City last season, catching four passes on 12 targets for 45 yards.

Hammond didn't catch a pass in the regular season finale against the Chargers. Hammond's duties switched mostly to special teams following the emergence of Albert Wilson and the additions of multiple other receivers. He finished the season with just four catches on 12 targets for 45 yards. He heads into the offseason as a free agent, with his best attribute coming in the return game, in which he averaged 13.3 yards per punt return and 37 yards per kick return.

Hammond failed to record a stat Sunday against the Broncos. Hammond played in 22 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps Sunday, but failed to produce in any capacity. With Donnie Avery and Jason Avant now available, Hammond has dropped deep into the depth chart.

Hammond played 32 offensive snaps Sunday (67 percent) against the Seahawks, but failed to record a reception. Hammond was starting in place of the injured Donnie Avery (groin) and A.J. Jenkins (shoulder), but failed to produce. The duo of injured receivers should return at some point this season, dropping Hammond further out of fantasy relevance.
