FLORHAM PARK, NJ (AP) -- The New York Jets have signed running back Chauncey Washington, a teammate of quarterback Mark Sanchez at Southern California.
Washington, taken from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad, was a seventh-round pick of Jacksonville last year. He had nine rushes for 9 yards, one reception for 9 yards and three special teams tackles. Washington was among the Jaguars' final cuts this summer.
He was signed by Dallas in September and spent time on the Cowboys' active roster and practice squad.
The Jets have also waived offensive tackle Ryan McKee, just days after signing him to the active roster from the practice squad.
McKee, an undrafted free agent from Southern Mississippi, was inactive for the Jets' 26-3 victory at Tampa Bay on Sunday. He was among the Jets' final preseason cuts.
