QB Trevor Siemian has been added to the Jets’ active roster, and CB Craig James has been added to the practice squad.
On September 26, Siemian (6-3, 220) joined the Jets practice squad. He has started 30 games, thrown for 7,027 yards with 42 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in six NFL seasons. Siemian was 15 of 26 for 184 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his two games with the Bears last season.
After being selected by the Broncos in the seventh round in 2015 from Northwestern, Siemian spent his first three seasons in Denver. As a starter in 2016–17, he finished 13–11 with 30 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.
This is his second stint with the Green & White; he was signed in 2019 as a backup to Sam Darnold but suffered an ankle injury that ended his season during a Monday Night Football game against the Browns in Week 2. Siemian was most recently released on August 29 after signing with Cincinnati in March.
James (5-10, 195) joined the practice squad on October 3 and played in two Jets games this season, totaling 42 snaps before being released from the P-squad. After being drafted by the Vikings in 2018 as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Illinois, he has played for the Jets, Minnesota, and Philadelphia.
James has totaled 18 tackles, two pass defenses, and one fumble recovery during his career’s regular season.
