Jets bolster secondary depth by adding six-year veteran Nik Needham to the practice squad and releasing kicker Harrison Mevis. Needham, who played 63 NFL games with the Dolphins, brings veteran cover skills and special-teams value; Mevis flashed strong kicking in 2025 but didn’t win a Jets roster spot. The moves signal ongoing evaluation of Jets corner depth while keeping options open for potential elevations, with Mevis out and Needham awaiting a potential early-season opportunity.
