The New York Jets added tight end Nick Truesdell to the roster Sunday ahead of their preseason opener Thursday against the Giants.

In a corresponding move, the Jets waved offensive lineman Tyler Jones.

Truesdell, who played college ball at Cincinnati and Grand Rapids Community College, had several stints in the Indoor Football League as well as the Arena Football League. The 25-year-old Truesdell also had brief stays with the Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings.

Most recently he played with the Salt Lake Stallions in the Alliance of American Football, where he had 24 catches for 269 yards and three touchdowns.

Jones, a rookie from N.C. State who signed with the Jets in May, started 39 consecutive games at left tackle for the Wolfpack from 2016-18.
