In an effort to bolster their roster depth, the New York Jets have announced their practice squad for the 2024 season. The list includes a mix of promising young talents and experienced players looking to contribute to the team's success.

One of the notable additions to the Jets practice squad is S Jaylen Key, the last pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Key showcased his potential during the preseason, totaling 11 tackles in three games, and will now have the opportunity to continue his development with the team.

Joining Key is TE Zack Kuntz, the Jets' seventh-round pick from the 2023 draft. After spending the majority of last season on the practice squad, Kuntz impressed during the preseason with his performance, including a touchdown catch. His addition will provide depth to the tight end position for the Jets.

OL Kohl Levao, who played the most snaps among any offensive player during the preseason, has also earned a spot on the practice squad. Levao's versatility, having experience at multiple positions on the offensive line, will be a valuable asset for the team moving forward.

QB Adrian Martinez, who signed with the Jets in July, showed promise during the preseason, throwing for 270 yards. Martinez's experience in the United Football League (UFL) and his college career will be valuable in the development of the team's quarterback room.

LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball returns to the Jets practice squad after spending a majority of the 2023 season with the team. McCrary-Ball's experience with the Jets and his contributions on special teams make him a valuable addition to the squad.

Wide receiver Lance McCutcheon, who spent last season on the Jets practice squad, will continue his journey with the team. McCutcheon showcased his skills during the preseason and will look to make an impact in the receiver corps.

Rounding out the practice squad roster are S Jarius Monroe, CB Kendall Sheffield, WR Brandon Smith, CB Tre Swilling, and RB Xazavian Valladay. These players bring a mix of talent and potential contributions to the team.

With the announcement of their practice squad roster, the Jets have solidified the depth at key positions. The inclusion of both experienced players and promising young talents demonstrates the team's commitment to building a strong and competitive roster for the 2024 season.
