The Jets signed Kuntz to the 53-man roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He takes the roster spot of LT Duane Brown, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Kuntz, 24, has never appeared in a regular-season game. With Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) out for Thursday's game against the Browns and C.J. Uzomah (knee) on injured reserve, Kuntz could make his NFL debut behind Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah.

The Jets signed Kuntz to their practice squad Wednesday after he was waived by the team Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets took Kuntz in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He logged six catches for 41 yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. He'll stay with the Jets via their practice squad to start the 2023 season and await an opportunity to get called up.

The Jets waived Kuntz on Tuesday, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuntz was a seventh-round pick by the Jets in this year's draft but was unable to make the team's initial 53-man roster. He'll now seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Kuntz caught both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-0 preseason win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Kuntz found the end zone for the first time in his young NFL career from four yards out in the fourth quarter. The 2023 seventh-round pick out of Old Dominion has enticing physical tools, with excellent speed and leaping ability in a 6-foot-7, 255-pound frame; however, he's still viewed as more of a long-term project. His most likely outcome for 2023 is spending the season on the Jets' practice squad, as Tyler Conklin, C.J. Uzomah, Jeremy Ruckert (shoulder) and Kenny Yeboah are all ahead of Kuntz on the depth chart at tight end.

Kuntz secured his only target for six yards during the Jets' 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie seventh-round pick made a minimal offensive impact as his final line implies, but it was a quiet night overall for the Jets on that side of the ball. Kuntz will continue his uphill battle for a roster spot on a relatively deep tight-end corps in a road preseason battle against the Panthers a week from Saturday.
