FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets have signed
wide receiver Danny Woodhead to the active roster from the practice squad, and
released defensive tackle Howard Green.
Saturday's moves come with the Jets possibly a bit
short-handed in their receiving corps for Sunday's game against the Buffalo
Bills. Jerricho Cotchery (left hamstring) and Brad Smith (quadriceps) are listed
as doubtful for the matchup.
Woodhead recently was converted from running back to wide
receiver, and even changed his jersey number from 22 to 83. Coach Rex Ryan said
the former NCAA career rushing leader from Chadron State could make an excellent
slot receiver.
Green, signed as a free agent in the offseason, had seven
tackles in three games.
