Bawden re-signed with the Jets on Thursday after the team released him Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Bawden's return isn't exactly surprising, as the Jets didn't have a true fullback on the 53-man roster following his release. After missing the entire 2022 season, Bawden will work to bounce back in 2023. He stands to contribute mostly as a blocker, opening up lanes for Breece Hall (knee) and Dalvin Cook.
