Jets Bring Back Zappe to Practice Squad | NFL News

Jets bring back QB Bailey Zappe to practice squad after releasing him pre-roster cuts, as rookie Cade Klubnik locks in as Geno Smith’s backup. Zappe’s preseason stats were modest — 60% completion, 135 yards, 2 picks — but he brings NFL experience from his Patriots stint (8 starts, 2K+ yards, 11 TDs, 12 INTs). He previously spent time on the Browns’ practice squad before joining the Jets in January. Head coach Aaron Glenn hinted earlier that any QB addition would likely go to the practice squad — a move now confirmed. With only three QBs total on roster + practice squad, the Jets could be thin if Smith gets injured. The team also finalized its 17-man practice squad, adding defensive standout Paschal Ekeji (eligible for international pathway) and veteran kicker Jason Sanders — a risky pickup after his underwhelming stint with the Giants. Season kickoff is just around the corner.
