Nelson (ankle) will be released by the Jets to clear space on the roster for Percy Harvin, J.P. Pelzman of The Bergen Record reports. As a sparingly used depth option for the Jets, Nelson was expendable with the addition of Harvin. It's possible that the veteran will land an opportunity elsewhere as an audition for a job in 2015 during the second half of the season.
