When one door closes, another one opens.
The New York Jets announced on Thursday, July 30, that they have waived wide receiver Jalen Walthall with an injury designation. In a corresponding roster move, the team has signed former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Quincy Skinner Jr .
"Skinner (6-2, 205) signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2025 and played collegiately at Vanderbilt. As a Commodore, Skinner had 66 career receptions for 809 yards and 8 TDs. In his final collegiate season in 2024, he played in all 13 games (12 starts) and had 29 receptions for 367 yards and 3 TDs," Jets senior reporter Eric Allen wrote in a press release.
ESPN's Rich Cimini revealed that Skinner worked out for the team earlier in the day on Thursday, July 30. The talented pass catcher was with the Falcons during training camp last year.
The Jets have completed two days of training camp practice. On Thursday, July 30, head coach Aaron Glenn provided an injury report update.
"Good morning. Two injuries that we had today: Gee Scott (Jr.) , calf injury. I'll see the exact severity of it when I get in there, and then (Jalen) Walthall. He had a hamstring. So, those are the two guys, receiver Walthall, and I'll see how those injuries are once I get back inside," Glenn said .
Evidently, the Walthall injury was more serious than expected, which resulted in this transaction.
This is a developing story and we'll provide new details as they become available.
