Sam Scott: Waived/injured by New York
Rotowire
The Jets waived/injured Scott (undisclosed) on Sunday.
Scott will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears, will revert to the Jets' injured reserve list. If he reverts to IR, the undrafted free agent out of Wyoming will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Scott has also played snaps at linebacker, so if he desires a shot at free agency, he could provide a versatile special teams presence for any team in need.
