Chatham to reserve/PUP list

August

The Jets tonight placed veteran linebacker on the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list, essentially the same process the team went through with Curtis Martin last season.

Chatham had been on the active/PUP list but the Jets couldn’t have him count against the roster as they trimmed down to 75. Chatham can participate in meetings but not practice with the Jets for the first six weeks of the season. The Jets then have a three-week window, Weeks 7-9, in which they can restore Chatham to the active roster.

Chatham’s injury is undisclosed.

Strangely enough, I found myself by Chatham’s locker today. I jokingly asked him what I was legally allowed to ask him, since Jet players are forbidden from discussing their injuries.

Chatham said he thought I could ask him his name.

So we made small talk – when he’s on the active roster he’s one of the go-to quote guys – but nothing of a revealing nature. I then told him I was looking forward to chatting with him on the record.

Unfortunately for both of us, that might be a while.

Andrew… Keydrick Vincent was released by the Ravens yesterday. He started 12 games in place of Jonathan Ogden last year. And 16 games for Pittsburgh 3 seasons ago. Have the JETS shown any interest in him

I was told no interest on Jets part…so far. Things may change quickly after Saturday’s cut down but I think it’s safe to say Vincent is not the Jets immediate target

Andrew, do you really think that the Jets seriously considering having Bender be our starting LG week 1 vs the Pats?
