The Jets waived/injured Whitehead (undisclosed) from injured reserve on Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead was battling for a depth wideout role. He has limited NFL experience, with just nine receptions for 64 yards and no touchdowns over 30 games. He's considered a practice squad candidate at this time.

Whitehead (undisclosed) cleared waivers and was reverted to injured reserve, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets haven't released much information regarding Whitehead's injury status. Whitehead seemingly lost out on returning duties during the preseason position battle which likely made the decision to place him on injured reserve not too difficult for New York.

Whitehead was waived/injured with an undisclosed injury on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead's injury severity is unclear. He was likely fighting for the final receiver slot on the Jets Week 1 roster and his release shouldn't impact the offense much. If Whitehead clears waivers he'll revert to the Jets' injured reserve.

Whitehead was promoted to the Jets' 53-man roster on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead signed with the Jets' practice squad in late November after a brief stint with the team to start the season end by Whitehead being waived/injured. The 25-year-old is unlikely to have a significant impact offensively, but could be utilized on special teams.

Whitehead (foot) signed with the Jets' practice squad Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead rejoins the Jets' organization after reaching an injury settlement back in early September. Foot surgery ultimately lead to Whitehead being reverted to the team's injured reserve, but it looks like he may be closer to full health now with his re-signing. It's not clear, however, if New York is planning on using the special teams star on its active roster this season.

Whitehead (foot) reached an injury settlement with the Jets on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead is now free to sign elsewhere should his broken foot, which he suffered in mid-August, allow him to play. The 25-year-old is likely nothing more than a return specialist if he does manage to latch on with another team.

Whitehead (foot) cleared waivers and reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Sunday, Darryl Slater and Connor Hughes of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead, who is out with a broken foot, was waived with an injury designation during final roster cuts Saturday. As expected, he cleared waivers and subsequently landed on the team's IR. He will remain there for the entire 2017 season unless he and the team reach an injury settlement.

Whitehead (foot) was waived/injured by the Jets on Saturday, Darryl Slater of The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

This offseason has not been good to Whitehead, and now he'll have to wait for a likely injury settlement before he finds new employment. Whitehead had surgery on his foot two weeks ago, and there's no clear timeline for his return. When he is healthy, he'll look to make his living as a kickoff and punt return man once again.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Whitehead will undergo foot surgery this week, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead has endured an unfortunate past few weeks, from mistaken identity leading to his release by the Cowboys to breaking his foot at practice Monday. The initial prognosis gave Whitehead a 4-6 week recovery, but Bowles wouldn't commit to any sort of timetable, other than to say the return man "could" return at some point this season. With Whitehead out to start the campaign, the Jets will look to Frankie Hammond, Romar Morris and Marcus Murphy to cover kick and punt returns.

Whitehead (broken foot) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitehead is getting another opinion to see if surgery might speed up his timeline. Either way, he's unlikely to be ready for Week 1 but apparently should be available at some point in September or early October. Whitehead was jostling for position on a wide-open depth chart at receiver, though the return game might still represent his best chance at making a significant contribution to the 2017 Jets.
